# wordpress navigation outside wordpress?

 * Simple job.
    I want to use the dynamic navigation generated by wordpress outside
   of my wordpress directory.
 * Simply put I am going to use phpmotion for my video portion of my website, but
   want the website to use the navigation from wordpress above the navigation for
   phpmotion.
 * I do NOT want to hardcode the navigation from wordpress on my phpmotion side 
   as wordpress is dynamic in it’s navigation. Meaning if I add a page to wordpress
   it automaticallly shows up on the navigation bar. If I hardcode it, then everytime
   I add a page I have to go and update it. That sucks.
 * I’m not a coder but I am guessing that all is necessary is
    1. a call in my other
   programs header to a ‘config’ file of sorts that defines the wordpress variables
   I am going to use. 2. a hook to the wordpress db so it can define the variables
   3. a way of printing out that information to use in my other programs.
 * Make sense?
 * I’m not sure if it will paste here or not, but here is the navigation code from
   wordpress that I want to use in it’s entirety.
 *     ```
       <div id="wrap">
   
        <div id="topnavbar">
   
         <div class="topnavbarleft">
          <p><script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/javascript/date.js" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
         </div>
   
         <div class="topnavbarright">
         <p><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>"><img style="vertical-align:middle" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/rss.gif" alt="Subscribe to <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>">News Feed</a><a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>"><img style="vertical-align:middle;margin-left:10px;" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/rss.gif" alt="Subscribe to <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a><a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments</a></p>
         </div>
   
        </div>
   
       <div id="header">
   
        <div class="headerleft">
         <a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" /></a>
        </div>
   
        <div class="headerright">
         <h3>Search the website</h3>
         <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
         <input type="text" value="Type keywords and hit enter..." name="s" id="s-head" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Type keywords and hit enter...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Type keywords and hit enter...';}" /></form>
        </div>
   
       </div>
   
       <div id="navbar">
   
        <ul id="nav">
         <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
         <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
        </ul>
   
       </div>
   
       <div id="subnavbar">
        <ul id="subnav">
         <?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=2'); ?>
        </ul>
       </div>
       ```
