If I do a find for title: ‘Home’ then I’ll find the menu links YAML file at core/profiles/standard/.
DRUPAL LOGIN LINK IN MENU CODE
The easiest way is to do a search through the code base.

You will need to clear the cache in order for the menu item to appear. route_name - the route to call for this menu link.

menu_name - this is the menu name we found in the previous step._.In this case the parent is the menu itself, so we are using the menu_name. parent - the parent item, which is used if you are adding this item as a child of another in a hierarchy.description - this will appear as the menu link title, a tooltip and/or the description in the admin UI.title - this will appear as the menu link.mo - the namespace for this menu link.With that out of the way, let’s add the menu link. We will need this when adding a menu link to this. The last part is the name of the menu, main. If this is a fresh install, it will probably just be Home. Click on Edit menu and you’ll see the links already defined for the menu. If you head over to Structure -> Menus in a Drupal 8 site, you will see existing menu’s. To demonstrate the Drupal 8 menu system, we will add a menu link to the main navigation menu.īefore we do that, we need to know the name of the menu to add the menu link to. The above code snippet will register the URL hello/custom, map it to a callback function that will generate the content and add it to the menu system. 'access arguments' => array('access content'), This is how it looks in Drupal 7: 'Custom page', In Drupal 7, you add a route and menu item in the same place, in hook menu. In Drupal 8, that is decoupled from the route registration. What a route doesn’t do is add a link to the menu system for that URI. Routes are defined in their own YAML file in the root of the module folder and take the format Routes are based on Symfony’s routing system. This defines how Drupal deals with a specific URI. It does this by mapping a URI to a controller class and method. What is a route?Ī route determines which code should be run to generate the response when a URI is requested. This week we are going to look at adding a link to Drupal 8’s menu system in a custom module.īefore we get into the menu system, let’s take a few moments to recap on routes. A few weeks ago I wrote about routes and controllers in Drupal 8 and making them a route dynamic.
