Component body
Provides the user with a check box on all content types to set the "provide a menu link" value to true by default.
This is basically a nice way to ensure the menu system is adhered to by all content authors.
There is a similar module called menu_force that does just that. Whereas Menu Force mandates menu assignment, Default Menu Link merely changes the status of "Provide a Menu Link" to true. The user can still create content and choose to un-check this box. However, the default state (on node creation) will be true, and as long as you've set a default menu parent item, all content will be filed under that parent.
Note: This module assumes that the Menu Module weight is set to "0". Default Menu Link sets its own module weight to "1".
