Hi there,

is there a way to make Drupal not filter html special characters from menu names? I need to put a non breaking space in one of menu items, yet I don't want to create a static template-hardcoded menu. Unfortunately Drupal keeps translating the ' ', so item names look like this "my humble page 1" :(

I'd be gratefull for some help :)

Drupal keeps translating the "& nbsp ;" :)

Hello.

i am no expert but while digging through the handbook and API i managed to create custom menu for my site.

please refer to the following discussion: http://drupal.org/node/107821

there is a lot to read through, but i can assure you that you can ignore most of it. pay close attention to the menu_item.tpl.php and template.php that calls that menu_item.

by using custom menu_item you can define ANY kind of menu you wish.

if you have further questions i'd be happy to answer them.

Sometimes something interesting appears on http://litwol.com

Not working. Is it possible in Drupal 7?

You should take a look at Menu HTML module: http://drupal.org/project/menu_html

Ive found menu html to be quite buggy. Are their any other module solutions?

I had no trouble with the menu html module. Although, I was just implementing a simple line break and then making it pretty with CSS.

It's super simple. Add this to your template.php:

function YOURTHEMENAME_link($variables) {
	$variables['options']['html'] = TRUE;
  return '<a href="' . check_plain(url($variables['path'], $variables['options'])) . '"' . drupal_attributes($variables['options']['attributes']) . '>' . ($variables['options']['html'] ? $variables['text'] : check_plain($variables['text'])) . '</a>';
}

replace YOURTHEMENAME with your theme name.
This is Drupal 7 core function theme_link() and I just added option $variables['options']['html'] = TRUE; and that's it.

The function worked perfectly and no need to add yet another module. Adding this function to my template.php, I was able to put an html non-breaking space ( ) in my menu tabs titles. Thanks xalexas.

Thank you for that.
How can I extend it to also affect the links in book-navigation?
The links in the navigation menu (sidebar) show the formatted text, but not the ones that are provided by book-navigation.tpl.php (under the book page).

For Drupal 8 your link title must be a instance of MarkupInterface.

You can rewrite your menu link like this :


use Drupal\Core\Render\Markup;

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_HOOK()
 */
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_menu(&$variables){
  foreach($variables['items'] as &$link){
    $link['title'] = Markup::create($link['title']);
  }
}

Hi mixalis44,

I'm trying for the same in drupal8. Should this change be done in the customtheme.theme in the below function ?

This is how it looks :

function custom_theme_preprocess_menu(&$variables, $hook) {
  if ($hook == 'menu__main') { // We're doing that for main menu.
    // Get the current path.
    $current_path = \Drupal::request()->getRequestUri();
    $items = $variables['items'];
    foreach ($items as $key => $item) {
      // If path is current_path, set active to li.
      if ($item['url']->toString() == $current_path) {
      // Add active link.
      $variables['items'][$key]['attributes']['class'] = 'active';
      }
    }

  }
}

Adding your code here gives me an 500 internal server error. Appreciate any help on this.

I would like to allow html into a link-field. How should I customise the code?

What if you have sub menus (children) of primary menu links? This should work for this case:

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_HOOK()
 */
function hook_preprocess_menu__main(&$variables){
  foreach($variables['items'] as &$link){
    $link['title'] = Markup::create($link['title']);
    if (isset($link['below']) && count($link['below'] > 0)){
      foreach ($link['below'] as &$sublinks) {
        $sublinks['title'] = Markup::create($sublinks['title']);
      }
    }
  }
}

use Drupal\Core\Render\Markup;

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_HOOK()
 */
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_menu(&$variables){
  foreach($variables['items'] as &$link){
    $link['title'] = Markup::create($link['title']);
  }
}

Replace your theme name with the YOURTHEME.
Hope it helps

If you have multi-level menu use this

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_HOOK()
 */
function theme_preprocess_menu(&$variables){
  if($variables['menu_name'] == "menu-name"){
    foreach($variables['items'] as &$link){
        $link['title'] = \Drupal\Core\Render\Markup::create($link['title']);
        if(!empty($link['below'])){
          foreach($link['below'] as &$clink){
            $clink['title'] = \Drupal\Core\Render\Markup::create($clink['title']);
          }
        }
    }
  }
}
