English The Menu Node API project fills in one of the "missing tables" in Drupal 6. This module does nothing on its own. Instead, it creates and maintains a {menu_node} table. This table maps the relationship between a node and its menu item (if any). This allows for a wide range of applications and extensions to Drupal functionality based on menu position.
This session will cover:
- The Menu Node API
- Menu Node Edit, an editorial access control system for Drupal
- Menu Node Views, leveraging menu position with Views module.
- Drupal 7 menu enhancements.
We will also examine how the Menu Node API alters how you approach building a site, using The University of Chicago Law School as a case-study.
