Don't Include Taxonomy Description in Menu Title Tags

I'm curious about what your use case is here. How are you using the description field?

And to answer your question, that's a good solution for the moment.

Would you rather have the description truncated, would you rather have the term name as the description, or do you have another suggestion?

another vote for "dont use description" on menu title tags

IMO 'Description in Menu Title Tags' is a nice feature. Please do not remove completely, a checkbox would be nice.

This is actually really bad if you use HTML in the tax description fields. I just troubleshot a "Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in common.inc on line 1592" in D6, which was caused by having a non breaking space ( ) in the description.

Nevermind I found the "Do not create title link attribute." checkbox on the Vocab edit page.

Anyone wants a working patch of this feature modification; patch attached. Patch just removes the 2 lines -- does not provide settings as request by #6

With the possibility of fieldable taxonomys I would like to see a simple select box where I can define which field should go as title. This could be appear on the edit vocabulary page (With the other configuration of taxonomy menu). As choices there should be:
-none-
-description field- (could be default because every taxonomy has this one and would serve in 80% of the use cases)
-any other (text)field on the vocabulary-
So this can be configured on a per vocabulary base. If -none- is selected it also should be possible to just edit the description field of the corresponding menu item because it will not be overwritten.

An other possibility would be a programaticaly generated -title- field on all vocabularies where the user can add a title text. This is the more general way but can be a bit over the top if I only need a taxonomy menu for one vocabulary and have ten others for which no menu is needed.

@grossmann-mcs, I second your opinion but there is a long way to go before taxonomy_menu even supports using the field storage api. At the moment there is still a dependency on SQL backends.

Fully agreed. Having the description as title hugely depends on a particular setup. Wherever description contains long structured text, the effect is between tragic and comic. Checkbox definitely, please.

Thank you for a time and effort!

It would be nice to have an option for the titles of the menu items. I changed lines 567-568 to include the name as the title:

    'options' => array('attributes' => array('title' => trim($item['name'])
     ? $item['name'] : $item['name'])),

Are there any problems with this solution?

Strange, the patch from #9 works for one menu but not another...

Hello,
First of all, thanks for this module.

For accessibility reasons, if we put the term name has the title attribute of the menu item, it should be customizable.
And I think also the description has nothing to do in the title attribute. It should be use only for the taxonomy term page.
I must mention that with this behaviour (setting the title attribute with the term description), it breaks my multilingual taxonomy...

Hi.
I've written a small patch.
It adds two options to add descriptions or not to vocabulary and terms items.
NB : you need to rebuild the menu after changing those options in order to see the changes.

Updated patch

Thanks jdanthinne, works for me.

Thank you for this! In the details, you indicate this is for branch "Taxonomy menu - 7.x-1.x".
However, the line numbers do not match up to my 7.x-1.2 module file. I could manually match this up wherever the code exists, but just want to confirm for which version the patch works. This issue is filed under -dev branch.

TY.

Patch applies to the git checkout for me, but not to the -dev release from the module page (for whatever reason).
Thanks for the fix!

Committed to 7.x-1.x branch.

Please add the option to completely drop the title attribute of menu items. Popup title repeating item name can be treated as a broad joke.

Great idea, can you open a new issue since it's a new feature request? Thanks!

My problem is:

I will delete the title on my menu, but when I create a new content then the menu link take the title again. Will be fine if we can edit the configuration to show or not the description taxonomy on the menu link
