Thank you for this module; for a long time I have been using a brew of menu_set_location(), php snippets, custom blocks, funny business in node templates, and custom views argument handling code to get the right menus to display next to my content. This module nicely takes a lot of work out of the equation for individual nodes.

What about non-node pages, like lists of nodes? (E.g., views, taxonomy pages, etc.) Is it feasible to add functionality for those pages, such that terms, views, etc. that aren't necessarily directly linked in the menu system can have active menus through the same UI? Seems like that could be a useful extension of this module.

@xjm : I don't know about Drupal 5 ; but the Drupal 6 version has non-node page support for OG groups. It's actually fairly simple to edit the code to have non-node page support for all non-node pages.

In menutrails.module ; in the function menutrails_init, add this code :

  $item = menu_get_item();
  if ($item['page_callback'] != 'node_page_view') {
    $item = menutrails_node_location($group);
    if ($item) {
      menu_set_item(NULL, $item);
      if (variable_get('menutrails_breadcrumbs', 1)) {
        $crumbs = menutrails_get_breadcrumbs();
        drupal_set_breadcrumb($crumbs);
      }
    }
  }

This works well for the Drupal 6 version - maybe it will work for the Drupal 5 version...
