Hey guys,

I have a phone number added in my navbar, its a page right now. I would like to directly link that menu link to a facetime call. I think it should be possible using one of the html links shown at: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/FacetimeLinks/FacetimeLinks.html

My question is how to directly link the menu link to the facetime call, so it wont go to the page i created for the menu link.

Thanks in advance!

Hi There,

Please add the following code to the HREF field of your menu item:

– Video Call: facetime:14085551234
– Audio Call: facetime-audio:14085551234

Hope it helps 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply. I can add the HREF field on a custom link in the menu section, but it won’t accept the facetime code. When you save the settings the code just fades.

Am i doing something wrong?

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! I have tested in my local testing server and indeed the menu doesn’t accept the facetime in the href. I would suggest that you add this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file;

// Add custom menu facetime menu
// =============================================================================
function custom_facetime_menu_item( $items, $args ) {

  if ( X_WOOCOMMERCE_IS_ACTIVE && x_get_option( 'x_woocommerce_header_menu_enable' ) == '1' ) {
    if ( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) {
      $items .= '<li class="menu-item x-menu-item x-menu-item-facetime">'
                . '<a href="facetime:14085551234" class="x-btn-navbar-facetime">'
                  . 'FaceTime'
                . '</a>'
              . '</li>';
    }
  }

  return $items;

}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'custom_facetime_menu_item', 9999, 2 );
// =============================================================================

Please let us know how it goes.

Upon adding that code in my function.php i get the following error + white screen: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home4/fedde95/public_html/feddewestera.nl/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line 75

Ah i got the code in without getting the white screen + error now. Whats the next step?

Hello There,

Thanks for the updates! Could you please update the code and use this instead:

// Add custom menu facetime menu
// =============================================================================
function custom_facetime_menu_item( $items, $args ) {

  if ( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) {
    $items .= '<li class="menu-item x-menu-item x-menu-item-facetime">'
              . '<a href="facetime:14085551234" class="x-btn-navbar-facetime">'
                . 'FaceTime'
              . '</a>'
            . '</li>';
  }

  return $items;

}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'custom_facetime_menu_item', 9999, 2 );
// =============================================================================
