Re: Customizing Main menu

It's really not too much of a ":(". When you create your own menu options, 
you can point to a module merely by entering the module name in [ ] brackets 
for the URL - like [xarbb]. This way, if the URL schema changes behind the 
scenes, your menu will work correctly (same principle as using xarModURL() 
function). 

The only problem is that the "getmenulinks" functionality only works with 
menu options generated by "display modules". This functionality creates an 
automatic submenu from an array that is populated in the 
xaruserapi/getmenulinks.php function for a module. If you turn off "display 
modules" and create your own menu options, even using the [module name] for 
the URL, getmenulinks is not called, and the submenu doesn't display. 

I've coded a change to the menu block display function and template to solve 
this, but John said the menu block is being re-worked, so I've held off 
submitting the patch. If you'd like to see the changes, drop me a note and 
I'll email them to you.
