Good point.  I had not got that far yet.  My first concern
was to find a way to allow each module (or core for that matter) define
their icon file name and location.   You will obviouslly need
a way to theme it once you have it in the menu structure and want to
display it.  Like I said, I hope to be trying this soon so we'll
see how it goes.<br>

<br> Status:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; active<br><br>Looks good, but how would you pass the icon to the theme function<br>(theme_menu_item). Creating a new function menu_item_icon (similar to<br>menu_item_link) ?<br><br><br><br><br>markus_petrux
<br><br><br><br>Previous comments:<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Wed, 28 Dec 2005 03:03:16 +0000 : markus_petrux<br><br>I ame across this idea when thinking of a way to assign icons to menu
<br>items. Maybe it could be done with a module, but that's not easy<br>because it is not possible to hook into the menu item form.<br><br><br>...or is there an easier way?<br><br><br>Thanks<br><br><br><br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------

<br><br>Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:08:43 +0000 : der<br><br>I had an email discussion with the menu maintainer several weeks ago on<br>this topic.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he confirmed that it should be as easy as adding an<br>'icon' field to the menu structure in the existing menu hook.&nbsp;&nbsp;In other
<br>words, he didn't think there would be any changes in core.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have not<br>yet tried this myself but I plan to give it a shot soon.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here's what<br>the hook code would look like.<br><br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$items[] = array(<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'path' =&gt; 'admin/user/create',
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'title' =&gt; t('add user'),<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'callback' =&gt; 'user_admin',<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'access' =&gt; $admin_access,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'icon' =&gt; 'actions/contact-new.png',<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'type' =&gt; MENU_LOCAL_TASK);<br><br>
