Adding a “Home” link to the Pages Menu in WordPress 2.9.2.

Example site: http://www.toryclark.com/

One simple change to the header.php file makes the Home page link show up in the Pages Menu. Add the number “1″ between the = symbol and the & symbol. See red-colored 1 in the second example below:

Find:
<?php wp_page_menu(‘show_home=&sort_column=menu_order, post_title&link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>’); ?>

Change to:
<?php wp_page_menu(‘show_home=1&sort_column=menu_order, post_title&link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>’); ?>

Lots of help from the WordPress codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_page_menu

(Using Zen Cart 1.3.8a)

1. jQuery source:

http://net.tutsplus.com/javascript-ajax/create-a-tabbed-interface-using-jquery/

2. Zen Cart integration:

- CSS: Delete “*” and “body” classes from file. Put in template’s css folder (root/includes/templates/CUSTOM TEMPLATE/css). I changed file name from “style.css” to “style_tabbed_content.css”.

- Javascripts: Put all 3 javascript files in jscript folder (root/includes/templates/CUSTOM TEMPLATE/jscript). Must also add jscript_ text to the beginning of each file name (ie: change “jquery-1.2.6.min.js” to “jscript_jquery-1.2.6.min.js”) – this allows Zen Cart to link to your custom javascript via the custom template system.

- HTML: Open original index.html file, copy everything between body tags and paste into an EZ Pages page. HTMLarea must be ON in EZ Pages setup.
