This module takes a similar aproach as does the menutrails module, but with a different UI. Power Menu takes the Drupal Core menu as base navigation. The user should be able to handle all navigation stuff from there without having to go to all those different places.
When creating a new menu item, the user can:
- Setup an alias for this menu item
- Create a new Taxonomy term in the "navigation taxonomy"
- Connect the menu item with an existing taxonomy term
- Connect the menu item with a content type
The last two points have as goal to set the active class of the menu item (similar as menutrails).
Outlook
- Probably going to drop the breadcrumb feature in favor of the menu breadcrumb module
As said. Goal is to have one place to administer the whole site structure!
Important to know
phptemplate_links() and phptemplate_menu_item_link is in the .module file. This might lead to a conflict incase you want to overwrite this function in your theme. In this case you have to copy the function from the module as base function and modify it and renamte the function in power_menu.
Drupal 7 status
The port is done (7.x-1.x).
