Primary navigation extra's

[iaditya999]

I am using eleven40 theme. I have primary navigation active on my blog. In genesis theme option there are some options about adding extra's on right hand side of the sidebar. where it is possible to add date or twitter button.

Actually I want to add google custom search engine in the area of extra's of primary sidebar ! How do I ???

Here's how you add a nav extra of a date - you can amend the date stuff with whatever the code is for google custom search engine:
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'gmj_add_date_menu_item', 10, 2 );
/**
* Add date menu item to end of existing menu items.
*
* @author Gary Jones
*
* @param string $items Menu items already converted to a string of markup.
* @args stdClass $args Menu arguments.
*
* @return string Amended markup.
*/
function gmj_add_date_menu_item( $items, stdClass $args ) {
// Limit to a certain menu location
if ( 'primary' != $args->theme_location ) {
return $items;
}
// Straight concatenation here. Could prepend, or do a regex replace to
// insert the menu item elsewhere
$items .= '' . date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ) ) . '';

return $items;
}
