Hi,

I have issues with these two components.
1. Category menu: it creates menu items even for nodes (not categories or containers) when creating a new node. I could not disable this behaviour.
2. If I update the categories where child node (not category) belongs, new menu items do not get created.

3. New galleries created by the image_module show up as categories. These categories belongs to a certain container, but they do not their parent set (shows as ""). As soon as the parent is set, the ImageModule admin page (Create new Gallery) does not see them and hence the impression that you have no galleries set up.

In reference to question 1 - I think that is actually done by the core. Whenver a node is created, a menu entry in the database is made too. Thsi has a knock on effect for larger systems which I'm currently experiencing and have had no help with in my post here: http://drupal.org/node/74136 - I think this may be related in a way.

Have you changed the taxonomy module to the one category prefers?

OK,

Sorry for item No 2: I have just checked the Roadmap. So this is by design, but enhancements are planned. I can live with this. However, items 1 & 3 are still relevant.

about #1: try disabling "create menu items for assigned nodes (breadcrumb only)". But note that unchecking this will break your final nodes breadcrumb.

For more info have a look at http://drupal.org/node/73830

I can't test this right now, but it is likely to be working for newly created items. However, I would expect the existing menu items would be updated according to the settings of the container. Unfortunately this is not case. Furthermore, If I edit the node and check the "Delete this menu item", it does not delete it - maybe because category_menu creates it again - regardless of the setting:(breadcrumb only)... But speaking about the CVS version I downloaded 2 days ago...

yes, category_menu seems to be quite buggy at the moment. Personally, i preferred to disable it because it needs proper fixing.

Hopefully Jaza will be able to do this when he'll be back from his Summer of Code, or maybe someone else will. I personally would love to be able, but i am no coder....i am very willing to donate a bounty (some loud voice here ;) to whomever will solve those problems though!

As of 6.x, category_menu got several fixes, some related to this (see also #481280: Generated menu items vs. menu administration and weights). I'm not sure about the Image galleries (point #3), but since this is over 3 years old issue for 4.7.x version (not supported anymore, now we have 6.x), and no-one voiced further concerns during that long time, I guess it's better to just close it.

Any incompatibilities still existing with current 6.x version should better get a new issue.
