OM Maximenu
maximenu.png

"Maximize your main navigation by adding text, images, videos, slideshow, tabs, menu blocks, user info ..."

That is now possible by using OM Maximenu which can create menus with all other module blocks you want as attachments, modules like views, slideshow, menu, user, nice menus, quicktabs, and custom blocks with tables, lists, images, videos, etc.

For OM Maximenu advanced editing, install OM Tools 2

Version 2 (Maximenu)

New version of this module is currently in development, Maximenu, which is supposed to be simplier to use.

Notes

  • Currently, it's independent from the native menu system of Drupal. I don't see it necessary yet, since it cannot have a submenu tree, but you can put menu blocks in it and you can also import those existing menus to OM Maximenu as flattened menus (1 level menus). You can also try Mega Menu which is fully integrated with Drupal menu system, if you only want purely text links.
  • Views Slideshow only works on block output. For the views slideshow to work on non-block output, you have to include this to your template.php:
    // Drupal 6
    mytheme_preprocess_page($vars) {
      $vars['scripts'] = drupal_get_js();
    }
    
    // Drupal 7
    mytheme_process_html($vars) {
      $vars['scripts'] = drupal_get_js();
    }
    
  • Clear your cache after updating to version 1.34 and up - if you see some error messages after updating to latest version and clearing the cache, try using Maxedit and click save, this will update your menu configurations.
