bu navigation menu question

    When navigation menu items are created and saved, which php file is responsible for this?

    When I create menu items, I am able to enter a URL / “Link Text” (which usually is the name the menu will display). I am concerned with the file that takes the url / “Link Text” and stores them.

    I have been searching through the plugin files and have no been able to locate it. I believe I have skipped over it and was just curious if someone could lead me in the right direction.

    The navigation links are saved in admin/manager.php. There are two methods in the BU_Navigation_Admin_Manager class — process_insertions and process_updates that persist link data to posts / postmeta tables.

    What are you trying to do? I’d advise against editing plugin code directly — if there is an action / filter that is missing that you would find useful I’d recommend filing an enhancement request via the Github repository.

    basically if you are using this plugin in connection with the Namaste lms plugin. assignments are unable to be created into navigation links considering they require a unique student_id and lesson_id that is unique to each logged in student (that Namaste assigns).

    I am going to add a file from the Namaste that will be extended in the bu navigation in order to obtain these values. this way I can create an assignment navigation menu link. I would have to create a check that if the url = “assignment-blah blah” (something unique that the admin manually assigns on creation of a menu item) the bu navigation file will read it know that this is that unique case and change the url to the actual url with the student_id and lesson_id properly added.

    I am sorry if this does not make a lot of sense. the code I am adding should only amend a url if it is equal to the checker url.
