By default, Drupal requires that you enter a path for each menu link you add/edit from the Menu administration page.
There are cases you may want to create a parent item, without any path, that simply links to its first viewable child item.
Menu Firstchild provides this functionality.
Installation
Copy the menu_firstchild folder to your sites/all/modules directory.
Navigate to admin/build/modules and enable the module.
Navigate to admin/build/menu and click on the menu you want to customize.
Add a new menu link or edit an existing link then enter <firstchild> as the link path to turn it into a parent item linking to its first accessible child.
Known issues
Breadcrumb might be wrong. This is not a bug of Menu Firstchild but a problem linked to Drupal's weak default breadcrumb system.
To solve breadcrumb issues, whether using Menu Firstchild of not:
- Install Menu Breadcrumb.
- Read #732370: Go as deep as possible when building the active trail, apply the provided patch and please ask for the patch to be committed!
