## Descripción

Menu Item Types makes it easy to add links to your archive pages, titles, items 
without URL, paragraphs or images to your navigation menus.
 You can also easily
override the templates and/or create your own custom elements.

### Create your own item type

You need to declare your new type in, functions.php, a plugin, child theme, or your
custom theme like this :

    ```
    function register_my_custom_type(){

        $args = array(
            'slug'        => "my-custom-type",
            'label'       => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ),
            'render'      => 'path/to/render/my-custom-render.php',
        );

        mitypes_register_type( $args );
    }
    add_action( 'mitypes_init', 'register_my_custom_type' );
    ```

You can do more than that on $args.

    ```
    $args = array(
        'slug'   => "my-custom-type",
        'label'  => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ),
        'render' => 'path/to/my-custom-type-render.php',

        // Link your custom icon
        'icon' => 'https://url-to-icon-file.svg',

        // Return ACF Group field array
        'field-group' => [
            'key'   => 'uniq_key',
            'title' => 'Group Title',
            'fields => [
                ...
            ],
            'location' => [
                [
                    [
                        'param' => 'mitypes',
                        'operator' => '==',
                        'value' => 'my-custom-type',
                    ],
                ],
            ],

        ],

        // Use callback for customize your item
        // you can add filter on 'mitypes_nav_menu_link_attributes' if you need
        'callback' => function(){ ... }
    );
    ```

And finally, you can work in the render with some variables.
 You have two variables
available:

    ```
    // $item is the WP_Post of the menu item, with which you can, for example, retrieve custom field data.

    $id = get_field( 'acf-slug', $item->ID ) ;


    // $args is an object containing the complete configuration of the wp_nav_menu() call,
    // including the current menu (WP_Term), classes, IDs, wrappers, depth, walker, menu location, etc.
    // More info : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nav_menu/
    ```

There are already additional plugins.
 You can also create your own elements like
these plugins do:

 * [Menu Item Types — Button](https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-item-types-button/)
 * [Menu Item Types — Action](https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-item-types-action/)

### Customize the plugin

    ```
    // Disable Post Type Archive Metabox
    add_filter( 'mitypes_has_post_type_archive_metabox', '__return_false' ) ;

    // Disable Buildin Item types
    add_filter( 'mitypes_has_buildin_item_types', '__return_false' ) ;

    // Mix Buildin and Plugin Item types in the metabox
    add_filter( 'mitypes_mix_metabox_item_types', '__return_true' ) ;

    // Filter Supported Item types
    add_filter( 'mitypes_supported_types', function(){ return ['image']; } );

    // Disable Nav Item Icons
    add_filter( 'mitypes_nav_menu_items_has_icons', '__return_false' ) ;
    ```

## Instalación

 1. Install the plugin and activate.
 2. Go to Apparence > Menu
 3. If the new metaboxes are not visible, use screen options

Very helpful plugin if you want to add CPTs to the menu. Why is something like this
not in the Wordpress standard?
