Menu

This link is provided by the module. "The title and path cannot be edited." Drupal 8

This issue is about fixing the home link in the standard profile. We should let that fix go in. That said, i'm with those saying we (also) need a general solution for this.

Situation: You have lots of content that you don't really want in a menu at all, but you want to appear to be below or within a section of the site when you are viewing that content. For instance, when viewing news content the menu link for the overall views listing should appear to be active, or rather in the active path or trail.

Press login / press account links for anonymous and logged in users, respectively. Subtly added to a bottom menu. Via code in order to allow for the redirect back to the page you were on after login or editing.

There is surely a way, or should be a way, that does not involve hook_page_alter(), but hey, this works.

There is a hefty patch porting the MenuTrails module to Drupal 7, but it is reported to not work (read: cause fatal errors with) Organic Groups.

Here's the code in system_modules_submit() - the function called when admin/modules is saved - that skips over flushing caches if no modules are enabled or disabled:

The best approach may be to avoid this entirely with proper information architecture. I always try to make these have meaning themselves, but certainly with not expecting most people to click on them anyway, this does not always make sense. Instead, the way Agaricer Kathleen did it for one project is simply to have each dropdown be a separate menu.

But let's say you are stubborn and don't like that approach or are too far down the path of a big old nested primary links menu. What do you do? Call Agaric, of course (or find this web page).

We first used this technique from the aquasoft theme on a 4.7 site, MGP-Forum, and just used it again, updated for Drupal 5 and with one enhancement by us.

Here's the D5 version from Aquasoft:

Set the input format for your node body or other textarea to PHP code, figure out what the menu ID of the menu item you care about as described by Nick Lewis (from whom all of this is stolen), and then stick this in your content:

<?php
$html = theme_menu_tree(42);
print $html;
?>

It could also go in a theme or somewhere else silly.
