Hmm. you could strip the sf drop down classes with jQuery but it would still bug me having two #access ID's on the page.
I think in the end it would be better to have 2 separate menus a header menu and a footer menu. Then you could at least have the ability to make them different, of all the projects I have had, they have never been exactly the same so I always add a 4th subsidiary widget slot and add a custom menu.
Try,
// add 4th subsidary aside, a footer menu placed above the 3 subsidiary asides
function childtheme_add_subsidiary($content) {
$content['4th Subsidiary Aside'] = array(
'admin_menu_order' => 250,
'args' => array (
'name' => 'Footer Menu',
'id' => '4th-subsidiary-aside',
'description' => __('The 4th widget area in the footer.', 'thematic'),
'before_widget' => thematic_before_widget(),
'after_widget' => thematic_after_widget(),
'before_title' => thematic_before_title(),
'after_title' => thematic_after_title(),
),
'action_hook' => 'widget_area_subsidiaries',
'function' => 'thematic_4th_subsidiary_aside',
'priority' => 10
);
return $content;
}
add_filter('thematic_widgetized_areas', 'childtheme_add_subsidiary', 50);
function thematic_4th_subsidiary_aside() {
if (is_active_sidebar('4th-subsidiary-aside')) {
echo "\n".'<div id="footer-menu" class="menu">' . "\n" . "\t" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
dynamic_sidebar('4th-subsidiary-aside');
echo "\n" . "\t" . '</ul>' ."\n" . '<div class="clear"></div></div><!-- #footer-menu -->' ."\n";
}
}
This will place it above the three subsidiary slots, but it can easily be modified to go below. You however will have to add the ID/class names to your stylesheet to grab the same styling.
