This module adds some common-sense usability to Drupal's menu system Menu Trails implements primary/secondary links which keep the current menu trail "active" or highlighted. A handy snippet ready to go into your template.php is included. The module provides a means of broadly categorizing nodes (by... [More...]

Module that satisfy my need without any trouble. It Quiet easy to understand and it functioning perfectly. No bugs its perfectly reliable. Site navigation and theme enhancements is awesome for me. One think I should tell documentation is Just perfect. Hats off !
As soon as I enabled trails, my breadcrumbs started reflecting my site's hierarchy. Awesome result!
This module really does the job. I'm using Menu Trails with Panels Everywhere and the AT everywhere Theme combined with different default template panels and subpanels. Works great!
Been spending ages trying to set up views and taxonomy menu to keep expanded when clicking on a node of that term. Found this module here, installed, and took less than a minute to setup and works brilliantly.
Didn't need to read the docs, so I just gave it 5/5 as it is so simple.
Out of the box, works as expected. Here was my scenario - using menu_blocks, I had a menu appearing with child items of primary navigation on each applicable page. Trouble was, when viewing a node related to one of the child items appearing on the menu block, the menu disappeared. This worked for OG content and non-OG content. Took all of 1 minute to get working!
After reviewing and testing all related modules to menus and breadcrumbs I can say that this module implements the best approach - and is even a pluggable API that can be enhanced by 3rd party modules.
I highly recommend to use this module together with Menu Block module. And I'll work with both maintainers to get this functionality into Drupal core.
This module is easy to use and understand and works well. The only problem is views aren't supported (and I need them to be).
Whining aside, it's a great idea and well done.
This module needs to be a little more exposed in the Drupal Community. Thanks to drupalmodules.com I was able to find this module and have it solve a problem that was bothering me. On a mini site that I created we had a Press Center page under the media section that when the teaser link was clicked on would take the user out away from the menus and into it's own page in the middle of nowhere. With this module, and honestly about 30 seconds, I was able to solve the problem by telling the content type to automatically be added to a specific menu_item when it's created.
Great module, great CMS...Happy Drupaling!
