Component body

An alternative menu system that co-exists alongside drupal cores menu system.

This module is an extension onto the workbench_access module, but is written by a different developer.

This menu system provides the following functionality:

  • Menus can still be shown for all sub-paths, including "page not found" urls.
  • Supports multiple types of menu items, such as labels, files, and other menus.
  • Only parts of the menu cache is rebuilt on changes, instead of rebuilding the entire menu cache.
  • Dynamic detection of active-path and active-trails.
  • Uses workbench access taxonomies to provide menu editing access control.
  • Controlling the expand/collapse behavior of individual menu items and menus.
  • Dynamic updating appropriate menus when content changes, using the rules module and node ids.
  • Integration with IMCE to add files to a menu.
  • Support for hidden menus.
  • Manual overriding of active paths.
  • Automatic building of breadcrumb paths based on active paths and menu structure.
