WPTrick : Add new element into wp menu

A simple trick to add new element into your wp menu.In this case I want to add custom search form to may

Just add this codes to your wp code I usually put in in functions.php

<?php

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add additional links and other output
function custom_nav_menu_items($items, $args) {

 $search = '<li id="search">';
 $search .= custom_searchform();
 $search .= '</li>';
 $items = $items .$search;

return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'custom_nav_menu_items', 10, 2 );

function custom_searchform(){
 $search = get_search_query();
 if($search) $search_text = $search;
 else $search_text = "Search";

 $form = '<form method="get" id="searchform"  action="'.get_bloginfo('home').'">';
 $form .= '<fieldset>';
 $form .= '<input type="text" value="'.$search_text.'"  name="s" id="s"  />';
 $form .= '<input type="hidden" id="searchsubmit" />';
 $form .= '</fieldset>';
 $form .= '</form>';

 return $form;
}

?>

Method above will add search form to all wp menu. So how about if I only want to add to specific menu location?

Here we goes

<?php

# apply only ini 'header-menu' location

if($args->theme_location == 'header-menu'){
 $search = '<li id="search">';
 $search .= rh_searchform();
 $search .= '</li>';
 $items = $items .$search;
 }

?>

Finish,
-rmh-
