From time to time I'd like to create a display of a menu, usually for administrative purposes, that shows all menu items—even those that have been disabled. It would be most helpful to have a checkbox in a Menu Block's configuration to "Show disabled menu items".

+1 This would be very helpful in a sitemap or an admin area. In my case, just because I don't want a menu item displayed in the site's main navigation doesn't mean I don't want it in ANY menu or display.

I needed this functionality so I created a patch (against 7.x-3.x). Attaching the patch to request inclusion in the next stable release…

Nicely done, @pcavanaugh; it works great. Way to hit the ground running on Drupal.org! :)

I tried adapting this patch for the 2.x branch, since that's what we're using. I had to go into the Advanced settings to toggle "Expand all children of this tree." to get everything to show up, after that it worked fine. Maybe this new setting should also be in the Advanced set?

a reroll of the 2.x patch against current state of that branch, for anybody else who might still be back on this.

This code needs to assume existing/exported menu block configurations do not have this value set and not using !empty() will cause a PHP notice here.

This doesn't seem to work for menu blocks that are created as panel panes.

FYI, the patch has been applied to 7.x-2.7 but the issue if for 7.x-3.x, I guess the patch is also ok for 7.x-2.x then.
