In addition to being able to output Titles, Teasers, etc., it would be great if we could customize the display using a view. It would allow for more flexibility in output, and we could make grids with thumbnails and many other possible listings.

The module has started to resemble the node hierarchy module except that it leverages the power and flexibility of the menu system without creating a second table.

Nice work!

Hi,

Sounds like a good idea - just not quite sure how or if it will work. 'Have to ponder it a bit more.

I can think of a few ways to do it:

I think of Viewfield which allows you to put a view directly into a cck field of a node. Something like that, except instead of passing the page node ID into the view it could pass the menu ID...

One way would be to create a views filter / argument called Parent Menu item. It would work only on views of type (node) at least at the moment. (or possibly taxonomy, too, which would open up all kinds of possibilities, but more on that later...)

Just some random thoughts. I really believe that, if implemented thoughtfully, this functionality would have profound implications on Drupal with respect to structured data. Just as John VanDyk's menu settings module made its way into core, I see this functionality as being fundamental in many situations.
