21898,Custom Fields for Menu Items,helgatheviking,,"I think plugin authors should be able to able to add custom fields to menu items.  I'd like to set certain menu items as viewable only by certain roles.  Currently this ''is'' possible, but only by duplicating the entire `Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit` walker.  It'd be much easier if there was a hook inside the Walker instead.  

For instance, `in /wp-admin/includes/nav-menu.php`

directly following: 


{{{
<p class=""field-description description description-wide"">
	<label for=""edit-menu-item-description-<?php echo $item_id; ?>"">
		<?php _e( 'Description' ); ?><br />
		<textarea id=""edit-menu-item-description-<?php echo $item_id; ?>"" class=""widefat edit-menu-item-description"" rows=""3"" cols=""20"" name=""menu-item-description[<?php echo $item_id; ?>]""><?php echo esc_html( $item->description ); // textarea_escaped ?></textarea>
		<span class=""description""><?php _e('The description will be displayed in the menu if the current theme supports it.'); ?></span>
	</label>
</p>
}}}


You could easily place: 


{{{
<?php do_action( 'wp_nav_menu_custom_fields', $item, $depth, $args ); ?>
}}}

Since there are already hooks for `wp_update_nav_menu_item` and `wp_setup_nav_menu_item` it is already possible to save the save and to call it back when using it in the front-end Walker.  ",enhancement,closed,normal,,Menus,,normal,duplicate,has-patch,pippin@… mindctrl justin@… frederic.demarle@…
