 * Hi Ladies and Gentleman!
 * I guess there’s no (built in) function available for my problem, so I’ll ask 
   you 😉
 * I tried to develop a time based navigation menu.
    f.e. I’m having one page for
   each weekday and on monday the menu-item of monday should be the first item in
   the menu’s list.
 * So I wondered, if it’s possible to build a navigation with feeding a function
   with an array of page-id’s instead of custom menus… like `mySuperCoolMenu(array(
   5,6,7,8));` ’cause I found no possibility to dynamically modify my custom menus
   I’ve created in WordPress.
 * My final guess is to build a function which builds a menu while using `the_title()`
   and `get_page_link()`.
 * Maybe someone already came up with a solution for my issue and wanna share some
   code snippets or something 🙂
 * Thanks alot in advance
    Daluxe

 * Quick idea, but haven’t written out the code.
 * Create a `wp_nav_menu` for each day. Create a function that would include a switch
   statement to display the appropriate menu based upon day of week.
 *     ```
       function ngtj_day_of_week_menu() {
           $day_of_week = date( 'N' );
           switch( $day_of_week ) {
               case 1:
                   wp_nav_menu( MENU FOR MONDAY );
                   break;
               case 2:
                   wp_nav_menu( MENU FOR TUESDAY );
                   break;
               etc...
           }
       }
       ```

 * Hey Nate!
    Thanks for your idea. The thing is, that I don’t want to create a 
   custom menu for each day, ’cause there are more menus to come soon.
 * I found the function `wp_page_menu()` which may fit for me, ’cause I could feed
   the function with an include parameter. I’ll take a look on that function and
   tell you how it works out for my purpose.
