An improved version of our Drupal module "Special Menu Items" has been contributed to Drupal.

This module deals with a shortcoming of Drupal which doesn't allow a site administrator to have menu items which don't link anywhere. With this module you can now have menu items for grouping purposes only and not linking anywhere.


The new version ads many features, after listening to the feedback of the Drupal community. A major improvement is that users are given more control on how “nolink” and “seperator” menu items are rendered. Other features include:


  • Added configuration page for module settings Administer -> Site configuration -> Special Menu Items (admin/settings/special_menu_items).

  • When the menu is rendered the "separator" item will be rendered to an item which is no link and by default the title will be "-------". In the new version it is possible to change both HTML tag and title.

  • When the menu is rendered the "nolink" item will be rendered similar to a normal menu link item but there will be no link just the title. In the new version it is possible to change the HTML tag used for the menu item.

  • Added breadcrumb support. Breadcrumb of "nolink" will be rendered the same way as the "nolink" menu item.

  • CSS class "nolink" is added to "nolink" menu item.

  • CSS class "separator" is added to "separator" menu item.

  • Compatible with Sitemap module.
