For those of you eagerly awaiting the answer to this issue, there were two things I had to correct:
1) Since the link is on the node edit page, the parent URL needs to be node/%node (i.e. node/2), not node/%node/clone. So in this case, I need to modify the menu item to be:
$items['node/%node/clone_comment'] = array( 'access callback' => 'clone_access_cloning', 'access arguments' => array(1), 'page callback' => 'monographs_node_check', 'page arguments' => array(1, 2), 'title' => 'Create For Comment version', 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_ACTION, );
2) MENU_CONTEXT_INLINE has nothing to do with action_links. In fact, when tabs and action links are being generated in the in menu_local_tasks() function, menu items with a context of MENU_CONTEXT_INLINE are specifically filtered out.
Once I fixed those, my action links showed up just fine.
My preference would be to have the production and comment strings in their own part of the URL (i.e / node/2/clone/comment) so I don't have to parse a string, so if I anyone has a suggestion on how to do that, I'm all ears.
Thanks.

I am building some functionality based on node_clone module that will allow me to clone certain node types and then implement hook_node_clone_alter() to modify some of the node content. I would like to add a couple more links at the top of the page similar to the one node_clone already adds. I've created my hook_menu implementations, cleared the cache, and rebuilt the menus, but the links are not getting added to the $action_links menu.
Here's my code:
/**
- Implementation of hook_menu().
*/ function monographs_menu() { $items['node/%node/clone/comment'] = array( 'access callback' => 'clone_access_cloning', 'access arguments' => array(1), 'page callback' => 'monographs_node_check', 'page arguments' => array(1, 3), 'title' => 'Create For Comment version', 'weight' => 5, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_ACTION, 'context' => MENU_CONTEXT_INLINE, );
$items['node/%node/clone/production'] = array( 'access callback' => 'clone_access_cloning', 'access arguments' => array(1), 'page callback' => 'monographs_node_check', 'page arguments' => array(1, 3), 'title' => 'Create production version', 'weight' => 5, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_ACTION, 'context' => MENU_CONTEXT_INLINE, );
return $items; }
From what I've read and seen in other implementations, this is all I should need. The menu item is created in the menu_router table (I can access it manually from the URL in a browser), and I've verified that the access callback is returning TRUE. It's also getting to my custom callback (when the URL accessed manually), so I know that part is okay. For some reason the links aren't being added to the $action_links variable in page.tpl.php. Is there something else I'm missing?
Thanks.
