I really want this module to work for me. I created a photo gallery in my primary menu, within this I have numerous galleria as drop downs. The problem is the primary menu item is still a link. I'm new to this and have no idea why this is. Thanks in advance.

Can you post more information? What modules did you use? I couldn't reproduce this bug.

I'm using the abarre theme, nice menus, and simple menu. I have an "about us" tab in my primary links, as a sub-menu to this I have an "intro" tab, and as a sub menu to this I have a "company profile" tab. The tree works fine but the primary link tab "about us" is still a clickable item. Eventually I would like to revert back to the abarre menu with some css changes to allow sub-menus that shoot out. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks.

I don't get this module either. I can still click the nolink items, they show the page /nolink with this message: This is a dummy page used for placeholder and separator menu items. You should not be able to see this page Very funny, but what is this module supposed to do?

For some reason, in special_menu_itemsoverwrite_menu_item_link($link), when I have a "nolink" menu item, it is never passed on to special_menu_itemsoverwrite_menu_item_link or $link. I mean, the overwrite function doesnt execute at all when there is a "nolink".

It seems to work for the secondary menu. But not for the primary menu!

This is the problem: the Garland way of inserting the primary/secondary links is like this:

<?php if (isset($primary_links)) : ?>
<?php print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' => 'links primary-links')) ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The special links module DOES NOT WORK with this approach. ONLY WORKS when inserting menus via a block region, e.g. print $headermenu for regions[headermenu].

Thanks morningtime!
OK, I'm not totally noob in Drupal but I'm not a drupal menu-system geek either. Is there a rapid workaround to apply in the theme for this or should we go with things like multiblock module and always create a region around primary-links area?
Many thanks for information, anycase! I really think this have to be pointed out in module page.

My menu is displaying in a block via a region as morningtime suggested, but I still get the same issue as this. Links are pointing to /nolink and are still links.

Any help?

I am having the same issue with the secondary links. The link is still clickable and takes me to a page which displays the following message

Same deal, using Energetic theme and jquerymenus. Custom menu block in a region. Weird thing is, it worked fine initially and then started displaying this bug.

Jimmel’s picture

Jimmel commented

Seems to work ok for me now. I entered nolink in the path box of the menu settings which you access when you edit whichever menu item you want from the primary menu list. Of course you still have to enable this module first.

+1 same issue

link points to /nolink

Surely this should just be a title with no link?

Yes.

Please can you give me a list of other "menu module" you use?

dRaz’s picture

dRaz commented

Yes of course, I use Superfish menu.

I have checked out the patch for Superfish but it messes up the CSS in a terrible way for the nolink items.

Are you able to make the module work with SF without SF modification?

I have a similar issue with with 7.x branch im using superfish and I i am attempting to make one of my top-level links a no link by including "<nolink>" without the quotes. It is still being rendered a link with the href being <nolink> so I have something like this example.com/<nolink>. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Same as Tjabine - using D7 with Marinelli subtheme and getting 404 error when menu item path is < no link >. Is this related to Marinelli's
Megamenu being themed and not placed via block?

Same here on D7.10 + superfish
I'm gettin a link to /< n o l i n k >

Found this simple solution that's working perfectly for me. http://drupal.org/node/128618#comment-4897122
amitgarg suggested using http://#title - replacing title with your own text.

Update: this fix only works with Chrome. --Firefox, IE 9 and Safari don't recognize the path. :(

Just tried out the 7.x-1.x-dev from Nov 28 and the problem is fixed for me.

Version: 7.x-1.0 » 7.x-1.x-dev

I tried the 7.x-1.x dev from Nov. 28 and it worked in theory, but it wiped out the CSS styling of the Superfish menu. The Special Menus appearance was just black print on a white background. Then when I tried to change it back to what it was before, it erased the parent and all the child links.

Still not working with Nice Menus 7.x-2.1. (I want first menu item to just be a placeholder but am getting link not found when using < no link >.) Is there a work around? Thanks.

I have this issue also. I am using Mega Menus.

If I put or it will take me to a new page that states I do not have access.

I switched to the 7.x-dev module and now it works.
