Releases for DHTML Menu

Two bugs were fixed in this release.

- #332100: Invalid markup generated: Duplicate ID attributes.
- #332156: static array needs to be initialized. (resulted in LOTS of warnings about a variable not being an array)

A bug was fixed.

#331643: Warning message "in_array: Wrong datatype for second argument" after enabling the module.

Default settings are now properly serialized instead of being a splittable comma-separated string.

Finally after almost half a year of waiting, here is the new, all rewritten version 3.0 of DHTML Menu.

Significant Changes

Embracing the Menu System

DHTML Menu 5.x and 6.x-2.2 used the block system to override the static menu functionality. Version 3.0 ties directly into the menu system using the theme registry. The advantages of these are numerous, but the one you will most appreciate is that DHTML Menu now works with Book Navigation and any other module that works with menu trees.

Working out of the Box

A steady stream of questions and support requests used to be asked by people who simply couldn't turn on the module. The problem was that after enabling DHTML Menu, you still needed to work to get it functional - by replacing blocks, or changing their configuration in 6.x-1.04+. DHTML Menu will now by default be enabled for everything, until you disable it manually. The same applies to cloning menu items as page links - this is no longer an obscure feature configured with an explicit list of items, but globally enabled for all items, and switched on by default. Double-clicking is still around, but can be disabled now.

Numerous other small changes have been made...

Smaller changes

Features

#279739: New optional effect for closing child items when they are out of view, instead of remembering their open state.
#279739: Active trail is always displayed as open when the page loads, fixing graceful degradation.
#311248: Allow the sibling-closing feature to be limited to the same block. (Credit to seutje)

Bugs fixed:

#279739: The cookie is now properly applied on the PHP side (feature was there before, but not functional).
#282284: Declare all variables in Javascript. (Credit to starbuck)
#283445: Module was getting initialized twice on AJAX requests (Views UI), leading to duplicate event handlers being attached.
#283997: Book navigation below the node (book_nodeapi) was printing warnings and notices
#289404: When only one menu item may remain open, the cookie is disabled so the active trail will always be the only open menu (even when not navigating through the menu).
#313101: Module is now compatible with Theme Developer (still functions when the latter is enabled).

Localizations added:

#271307: Module translated to Esperanto.
#289684: Module translated to Spanish (Credit to arhak)

Bug fix that will allow this module to function with Drupal 5.9+. Sorry for taking this long.

#284757: Add Javascript in hook_menu, not while generating output.

First version of DHTML Menu for Drupal 7. New features added:

#300106 Allow bullet icon to act as expander.
#273872 Choose animation effects and speed.

Also, several improvements in the Javascript and the settings UI.

Note: No upgrade path for settings yet. This module only stores a tiny amount of configuration data, but if you want to use it on a site upgraded from D6, you will need to set all configuration options again.

First Drupal 7 version of this module.

This is an alpha release of the latest version of DHTML Menu. I am waiting for further testing as well as translations before the module is released as stable, so your help is very welcome!

6.x-3.0 Release Notes:

This version of DHTML Menu has been rewritten to use the theme_registy_alter hook, allowing it to hijack the themable functions of the Menu API rather than adding preprocessing functions for the blocks.

The module is much more flexible with this approach, which means that DHTML Menu now works with Book Navigation.

Furthermore, it has always been possible to "clone" menu items in such a way that while the item itself merely expands and collapses the submenu, the cloned item will link to the actual page. This setting has been a usability nightmare, because the user had to enter specially formatted text into a text area, essentially editing a raw settings file. The new version simplifies this by making it an all-or-nothing approach: All expandable menu items are either cloned or not. The cloning is also done in Javascript, which means that non-JS users are not confused by redundantly cloned links.

It is still possible to open a page directly by double-clicking on the item in question, but this can now be switched off, too. When the item cloning is enabled, it's not necessary.

This version is not yet being released for production use, to give the translators some time to submit new localizations.

#257142: Conflicting branches have been merged. This version does not significantly change functionality as it just incorporates previous changes from the stable branch, but it fixes coding style and adds an update path for users upgrading from a version of DHTML Menu that still clones menu blocks (pre 6.x-1.04).
