Another option for Drupal 7:

/** * Sets an active trail to a menu tree (@see menu_tree_all_data) * @param Array $tree * @param $menu_link A menu link */ function _example_menu_tree_set_active_trail(&$tree, $menu_link) { //Set active trail $mlids = array(); for ($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++) $mlids[] = $menu_link['p' . $i];


	//Start recursive checking per branch

	foreach (array_keys($tree) as $key) {

		__example_menu_tree_set_active_trail($tree[$key], $mlids);

	}

}
function __example_menu_tree_set_active_trail(&$branch, $mlids) {

	if (in_array($branch['link']['mlid'], $mlids)) {

		$branch['link']['in_active_trail'] = TRUE;

foreach (array_keys($branch['below']) as $key) { __example_menu_tree_set_active_trail($branch['below'][$key], $mlids); } } }

I think this function should be added to core.

Hi all,
I’ve made a similar function that you can use in D7.

function menu_tree_all_data_with_active_trail($menu_name) {


  function menu_tree_active_trail(&$tree_data, $menu_item) {

    foreach($tree_data as &$item) {

      if(!empty($item['link']) && $item['link']['href'] == $menu_item['href']) {

        $item['link']['in_active_trail'] = TRUE;

        return TRUE;

      } elseif(!empty($item['below'])) {

        if(menu_tree_active_trail($item['below'], $menu_item)) {

          $item['link']['in_active_trail'] = TRUE;

          return TRUE;

        }

      }

    }

    return FALSE;

  }
  $menu_item = menu_get_item();

  $menu_tree = menu_tree_all_data($menu_name);
  menu_tree_active_trail($menu_tree, $menu_item);

return $menu_tree; }

Usage is the same as in menu_tree_all_data()
$tree = menu_tree_all_data_with_active_trail('menu-product-categories');

Struggling to get the above code ported over to D7 (I’m not much of a programmer!)

I think menu _tree_full has been replaced/dropped but I’m not sure what with?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably, yes. The core menu API doesn’t seem to have changed (or at least not by much) from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. I’d say give it a shot and shout if you need help.

Could this code be modified to work in D7?

“Thank you. You should poke and prod the drupal devs until this is the standard way of working.”

Agreed. Every word.

Thank you. However it seems there is a problem with this algo if 2 items link to the same content in the same branch

There are a lot of equality checks in the menutrails module for link_path vs. the item href. They don’t take into account that the href is fully expanded and the link path still contains a wildcard. You can see an example of this in the menutrails_get_breadcrumbs function.
