I had a need for a fixed side navigation bar, so I created this fork and pushed the changes. If anyone has suggestions or improvements, please submit a pull request. I would like to improve it, because I am new to Roots and Wordpress themes.
The sidebar can use the Primary Navigation or create a new Menu and use it in the nav bar. This is a basic implementation, allowing for a multitude of changes.
I believe it will help a person new to Roots to show an example of how to add a custom part to the theme. All you have to do is follow the initial commits and see the changes made.
You don’t need to create the Roots_SideNavbar class; it unnecessarily duplicates code. Just create a second object with Roots_Sidebar; it’s what the class is there for.
I would also tidy up the roots_main_class() to make it clearer what classes go where, or at least add comments.
@Foxaii Thanks for the input! What the heck was I thinking. Well, the good thing is it was as easy to delete the duplicate code as to create it. Late night programming can make you blind, but still not a good excuse for missing it. Good Idea to make sure we know what column is what with some comments.
Roots has me liking PHP and Wordpress a whole lot more. I appreciate all the effort you guys put into Roots. Please don’t fault me for the sloppy first stab.
