In Administer-> Site Building -> Menu -> Edit

I appear to have hit a Path limit when inserting a URL which is 149 characters long - this one:-

http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/working_in_the_uk/en/homepage/schemes_a...

The limit appears to be 128.

AFAIK, urls on the web should be no longer than 100 chars - else its bad for SEO. At least thats the research on pathauto module revealed hence why its defaulted to 100 chars.

As this is a unique case, you may have to modify core code in menu.module (or menu.inc) and change the limit to 255.

Drupal 6 Solution

  1. Install module Menu Inject Block
  2. Create new Block
  3. Add menu link to Body:
    e.g. <div><a href="LONG URL>{menu link title}</a></div>
    Note: If you don't wrap link in <div> Drupal will wrap in <p> and add unnecessary margins.
  4. Create Menu Item
  5. Set path to <block> and choose the Block from select menu at bottom.

Done!
