Conditionally Do Specific Menu in Secondary Location

[pressaholic]

Hi everyone,

I am using the Genesis Simple Menus to display my secondary menu on certain pages but I need to expand my requirements a bit beyond the plugin. I would like to do a certain menu in the secondary location based on different conditionals but I haven't found anything to add to the code to execute the specific menu. For example, I want to display a menu called My Menu on posts with a category ID of 7. My code would be something like:

add_action('genesis_after_header','conditional_my_nav');
/**
 * If the current post is in category ID 7 then do My Menu in secondary navigation
 */
function conditional_my_nav() {
    if (in_category(7)) { 
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'do_conditional_my_nav' );
		function do_conditional_my_nav() {
			wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'Secondary Navigation Menu',  'menu' => 'My Menu'));
		}
    }  
}

I know I'm missing something but I can't see it. Any help or links would be most appreciated!

Genesis Simple Menus will serve up secondary menus based on post category or tag setting.

From your dashboard, navigate to Posts > Categories. Edit your selected category, navigating to "Secondary Navigation". From the drop-down selector choose the secondary menu you want to appear for that category.

Well would you look at that! Amazing! Thanks for making me feel like a fool for wasting hours trying to code a solution that was already there. =) Can the Simple Menus plugin also apply the menu to child pages if the parent page has the menu applied? Thanks for your help, Tom.

Pages each require a specific selection of secondary menu, whether parent or child.

This is entirely workable if you don't have 10^6 pages, which would be a Bad Thing anyway 🙂 .
