Usage

Theme authors must provide support for custom menu types.

You can test for these in your menu walker — and do with them what you will — by checking that their URL matches the appropriate item type slug.

An array menu type slugs can be viewed with vpmml_get_item_types(); (the slug is the array item's key; just print_r or var_dump this function).

In your menu walker, the menu item URL will be in the form #vpmml-{type}# (for example: #vpmml-column#). Your walker might do something like the following within your walker's start_el method:

if ( $item->url === '#vpmml-column#' ) {
    // Add a class, change output markup, or something else entirely
}

Advanced Usage

You can register your own types with the vpmml_item_types filter, e.g.:

add_filter( 'vpmml_item_types', function ( $types ) {
    $types['mytypeslug'] = __('My Type Name');

    return $types;
} );

These will be accessible in your walker with the #vpmml-mytypeslug# URL like the built in types. You can also target the menu item in the admin editor with the .menu-item-vpmml-mytypeslug CSS class. See inc/item-column.php in this plugin for an example of how you might hide unnecessary settings.
