Hey

how about doing it the way D7 and Simple Menu Settings core does?

they work by providing a checkbox, which when checked, shows up the link title, parent and weight and populates the link title. they don't create the menu automatically for each new node/node edit.

to automatically create always, simple - add a new setting with a checkbox to the content type page.
this would force the form to have the checkbox marked and the link title populating immediately.

this feature combined with Node Menu Parent gives us an instant similar backport of D7 content type menu capabilities.

Fair point made, but this module was written before Simple Menu Settings, and before the feature was available in D7.

auto_menutitle is designed to work in combination with the Menu Settings per Content Type which lets you enable menu settings in the first place. I don't think its worth trying to replicate what Simple Menu Settings, does, as then we'd have basically the same module with two different names?

not really. if this module did what D7 core/Simple Menu Settings does, and auto-polutate the title, it would deprecate Simple Menu Settings module, making it obsolete.

LPCA, if Menu settings per content type is installed, then menus are removed unless explicitly allowed. If menus are allowed, then you'd expect nodes to have a menu, so I think always displaying the menu options (unlike D7/Simple Menu Settings), combined with what the features of auto_menutitle, is more 'usable'.

If you disagree, or think the feature could be merged into this module, please write up a patch, and I'll happy test it out, and commit it to HEAD, if it works all ok. Thanks again for your feedback.
