Integration of views - do I need this for my special case?

i've found a solution that works for me patching the menutrails.module

1 . Add the following functions for view handling to the module (right the same way they already exist for nodes) :

function menutrails_views_pre_view($view, $items) {
    if ($view->build_type == 'page') { 
      $location = menutrails_view_location($view);
      menu_set_location($location);
    }
}

// inspired by _menu_get_active_trail()
function menutrails_view_location($view) {
    $view_trails = variable_get('menutrails_views', array());
    $mid = $view_trails[$view->name];

    if ($mid > 0) {
      // Follow the parents up the chain to get the trail.
      while ($mid && ($item = menu_get_item($mid))) {
        $location[] = $item;
        $mid = $mid = $item['pid'];
      }
      $location = array_reverse($location);
      $location[] = array('path' => $view->url, 'title' => $view->title);
    }
    return $location;
}

2. Add following lines to the already existing 'menutrails_settings_form' function at appropiate place

  ...

  $view_urls = views_get_all_urls();
  $view_trails = variable_get('menutrails_views', array());

  ...

  $form['menutrails_views'] = array(
      '#tree' => TRUE,
      '#type' => 'fieldset',
      '#collapsible' => TRUE,
      '#collapsed' => TRUE,
      '#title' => t('Menu trails by view'),
  );
  foreach ($view_urls as $key => $value) {
    $form['menutrails_views'][$key] = array('#type' => 'select',
      '#title' => t('Parent item for'). " $value",
      '#default_value' => $view_trails[$key],
      '#options' => $options,
    );
  }

  ...

Sorry for not delivering a patch;) But that should work!

This doesn't seem to work. Or could you perhaps explain how it's supposed to work, and how it works for you, mvalverde? Thanks.

Sorry, Menu Trails for Drupal 5 is not actively developed/maintained anymore. Only issues containing patches may still be considered. Feel free to re-open this issue if you want to provide a patch.
