[wp-hackers] Select pages's associated menu items in a specific menu

[Mike Schinkel]

Lox,

Assuming I got the previous SQL correct I think this is what you are looking for:

http://gist.github.com/493195

The core of that code is here:

/* --------------------------- */
$post_id = $_GET['post'];
$menu_id = $_GET['menu'];

$term = get_term($menu_id, 'nav_menu');

$menu_items = new WP_Query(
	array(
		'post_type'   => 'nav_menu_item',
		'post_status' => 'any',
		'meta_key'    => '_menu_item_object_id',
		'meta_value'  => $post_id,
		'showposts'   => -1,
		'taxonomy'    => 'nav_menu',
		'term'        => $term->slug,
	)
);
/* --------------------------- */

The key thing to notice is that the menu item post records were related both via post meta (which you figured out) but also via the "nav_menu" taxonomy by term slug (which you hadn't included.)  At first I thought it wasn't going to be possible to do it with WP_Query() but after inspecting the SQL I wrote I realized it was indeed possible, at least what I understood that you needed.

Hope this helps.

-Mike
