hello

i'm duplicating this issue into the modules listed above, hoping all developers involved can take a look at it.

hello

after scoping around, i've found quite some modules that change the way menus are made for content, through content type settings. these are:
* Auto Menu Title - auto-populates menu title per content type (no option to auto-populate with checkbox confirmation like in D7 core)
* Auto Menu - auto-populates menu title (didn't got it to work) per content type
* Simple Menu Settings - adds a checkbox to enable menus at content type creation/edition; auto-populates menu title per content type
* Node Menu Parent - sets the default parent menu per content type
* Menu Settings per Content Type - allows choosing menus parents from selected menus per content type
* Menuless Node Type - removes menu options per content type (obsoleted by Menu Settings per Content Type)

i can confirm Menu Settings per Content Type works with Node Menu Parent.

how about a common effort to merge all of these into a single module, performing all of the functionalities above and mimicking Drupal 7 core behaviour, as if it was a backport?

additionally, there could be an option to autocreate menus always for a given content type, as Auto Menu Title does it.

this way i think all users would be happy and there would be less confusion around... 6 modules into 1.
i'd say, pick Menu Settings per Content Type (ctm) and start work from there.

As far as I can see, Auto Menu (notice that your post is older than Auto Menu 1.0 stable release) has all features that Auto Menu Title and Node Menu Parent have, and even more: it's language aware.

Plus new features are announced for 2.0 version:

  • Auto creation of menu items based on taxonomy
  • Auto creation of menu items based on nodes tagged with a taxonomy term
  • Auto creation of menu items based on organic groups and nodes posted within an organic group

Definitely +1 for merging work and avoiding duplication.

We'd be interested in merging efforts with the other modules tho I'm not totally sure if they do exactly the same as this module. I think they provide a subset of features that auto menu does.
