Enhances Drupal's core menu system and module.

The goal of the menu helper modules is:

• To make it easier to build and manage your menus.
• Help syncronize a node with its related menu item.
• Fix minor menu issues.

This module creates 'menu helper' navigation blocks, labeled 'menu name[Menu helper]' for all existing menus.

These sub-modules integrate with 'Menu helper' navigation blocks :

• menu_helper_active.module
• menu_helper_redirect.module
• menu_helper_reset.module

These sub-modules do not require the 'Menu helper' module.

• menu_helper_auto.module
• menu_helper_blocks.module
• menu_helper_submenu.module

Todo - Submodules

• Menu_helper_book
  • Display a book's navigation appended to the active trail in the navigation.
• Menu helper delete
  • Add ability to delete multiple menu items. - http://drupal.org/node/287440
• Menu helper alias
  • Display the related path alias when editing a menu item. Must use AJAX to sync alias when the link path is changed.

Recommended Modules

• Menu Breadcrumb
• Custom BreadCrumbs
