$args not passed to wp_get_nav_menu_items in wp_nav_menu function

[DreadLox]

Hello,

With the recent implementation of wp_get_nav_menu_items filter ([13858]) , arguments passed to wp_nav_menu are not passed to wp_get_nav_menu_items and thus it prevents from passing additional arguments like a child_of argument to get a portion of a menu.

Patch to correct the bug

But the arguments are different: those for wp_get_nav_menu_items mostly have to do with the status and order of the menu items; those for wp_nav_menu mostly have to do with its markup.

And this is not a major issue or one that needs to go into 3.0.

I understand that.Thus there is no way to pass args to wp_get_nav_menu_items filter witch makes it useless.

I have one menu. On the top bar, I display it using depth=1 (so it displays the first level) then I have an other one in the side bar. For the last, I get the current page ancestor ID and pass it to wp_nav_menu to get only that submenu.

As it is now, I have no way to do that. Maybe you do ?

I think I would take another approach, but if I had to work with that I would set a global variable that let me know whether the current call to wp_get_nav_menu_items were in the sidebar, and then check that global variable within the callback attached to the wp_get_nav_menu_items filter.

It is an uggly hack but it could do the trick. Thks.
