In Drupal development, you always need to work with menus. In coming posts, i would like to share 2 very useful modules when working with Drupal menu. This post is about creating a menu item without hyperlink.

Drupal menu allows parent and child hierarchy as shown in the following picture.

 

Sometimes we don’t want to have a link on the parent item such as Content in the above example but the core menu module does not allow a menu item without menu path. In this case, the Special menu items module could help.

1. Download and enable the module.

 

2. Edit the parent menu item and input <nolink> in the path field and select the Show as expanded checkbox.

 

3. Now the link of the Content menu item is gone. This is useful when you want to create a drop down menu.

 

4. And you can also try the <Separator> in the menu path.

 

Done =)
