Hi, I tried your module and it's exactly what I'd like to use. But there's one problem getting it to work on my site: some menu entries point to a view (such as a table listing of news items), and on those instances the module does not work: the block that should show the children entries does not show at all.
Should this work, or could you make it work? Thanks for your time.

I've got the same issue. Would be nice to let this block display on pages created by a view also. And let the menu entries to those pages show up in the local menu two.

Subscribing. This is an issue for me as well.

As a workaround it is possible to just create the view as a block and only display that block on node X. But it may not be sufficient in all cases, and it's not so neat.

Another workaround is to use Insert View or Views Reference to show the view inside a node.

I don't know, it works for me. If you add a link to a view page to your local menu, the local menu should display on the view page.

Just wondering, did any of the authors of #1 to #4 set up their view to actually add a menu item? Or were you relying purely on the fact that your view provides a page with a URL?

I suspect it's the latter, which may hopefully be the cause of your problems?

I had indeed not set the view to provide the menu item. I added the menu item with the view's page url manually in the menu's. I think I found this easier to manage, because I use different menu's for different languages. So this could be the problem, I didn't try the other method.

Menu items defined by views get a "system" entry in the menu_links table, that remains even after the menu item is customized. Since local_menu grabs the first row it finds in menu_links, this seems to have the effect of making it inoperable on views.

The patch in #296558: Default menu option when item in multiple blocks appears to fix this issue.
