Hi, there is another reason why I would like to see someone writing expanded menu items who is not me: there should be someone else who understands the new menu in depth. My next week will be spent with writing the update path and the multiple menu support. The week after, I have already committed all my free time (and my money too) to the form API rush with Eaton. If the HRSDC approves my job offer (and I can't really see why not), then I will have a feverish run of collecting and submitting various papers, certifications and stuff and then medical examinations and then preparing and executing the actual move to Vancouver. I have no idea how much core time I will have after May 1, but... it might be less than you guys are used to. Tasks: -- expanded items support -- The menu localization patch needs to revived and brought to home. -- The modules admin page is still not coded for the new system. -- if you really want work, take over multiple menu support. Regards, NK
So there's not duplication of effort, I just wanted to mention I've done one of Karoly's requests: http://drupal.org/node/136386 If I wanted to pitch in on other stuff, where would I start? Are there Drupal issues associated with these tasks that I couldn't find? Doug Green 904-583-3342 www.douggreenconsulting.com Bringing Ideas to Life with Software Artistry and Invention...

First of all, you need to familarize yourself with the guts of the new system -- at least how it is used. You can skip the builder for quite some time.
-- expanded items support
One implementation of this would a) save a variable if there expanded items on buildtime b) on runtime, in menu_tree, you need to iterate a query for every level and add the expanded items on that item to parents ongoing. This means a maximum of plus six queries. And a menu table change.
-- The menu localization patch needs to revived and brought to home.
http://drupal.org/node/128082 reroll, strip t() from descriptions, add t() to descriptions on runtime.
-- The modules admin page is still not coded for the new system.
In progress, thanks.
-- if you really want work, take over multiple menu support.
Huh, let's wait with this until the current big menu fix at http://drupal.org/node/131009 gets commited.
I almost forgot to say: THANKS!
