I'm editing a wordpress theme. (this: Onetone theme) I'm trying to make some pages like the home seeing the theme don't provide it (I've already contacted them). So in each page i would have some < section > with a specific id and a menu with the link for each of them.
I've already make a proof:
<?php
$sections = array('home','A','B','C','D');// home,A,B,C,D are the ids of the section added manually
foreach ($sections as $section) {
echo '<li class="onetone-menuitem"><a class="onetone-menu-link" id="onetone-menu-'.$section.'" href="#'.$section.'" >
<span>'.$section.'</span></a></li>';
}?>
But as you can see,I was not able to get programmatically the ids of the sections. How can i do it? Thanks.
Using jQuery to extract the section id's, here is a basic working example to get you started. You canpaste this code in a php or html file and call it from your browser. The only thing you will need the change is the location of jquery.js.
<!doctype html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/lccs/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.11.1'></script>
<style>
.menu-item
{
display: inline-block;
padding: 1em;
background-color: #444;
}
</style>
<script language="javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($)
{
$("section").each(function()
{
var menucode="<span class='menu-item'><a href='#"+this.id+"'>Item</a></span>";
$("#menu-items").append(menucode);
console.log(menucode);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<aside class="menu-aside">
<h4>Menu</h4>
<span id="menu-items"></span>
</aside>
<article class='student type-student status-publish hentry'>
</article>
</main>
<h1>Heading</h1>
<section id="seca-1"><h2>Section A</h2>
</section>
<section id="seca-2"><h2>Section B</h2>
</section>
<section id="seca-3"><h2>Section C</h2>
</section>
<section id="seca-4"><h2>Section D</h2>
