Taxonomy Menu Trails

You need this module if you have a nested menu tree with taxonomy terms, e.g.:

• Term 1
  • Term 1-1
• Term 2
  • Term 2-1

And you have a node referring to the term in menu. For example, node refers to the Term 1-1. On the node page you'll see only the first level of menu, because node itself doesn't have a menu item and the menu becomes collapsed:

• Term 1
• Term 2

Module solves this problem, so the menu will be expanded to display the term referred by current node:

• Term 1
  • Term 1-1
• Term 2
