Module for Drupal 8 to allow HTML markup in menu titles.
By default, Drupal 8 will not accept HTML markup as part of a menu title. This module allows you to configure markup to be shown along with specific menu titles (including submenu items).
This can be very handy if you want to show a glyphicon from Bootstrap or an icon from FontAwesome, etc. in front of your menu titles.
Additionally, this module has functionality that will easily allow you to put Bootstrap-style "badges" next to your menu items, representing node counts (e.h. "Articles (30)", etc.).
There are similar modules for D7, but they seem to have been abandoned. Further, this module takes the concept a step or two further with functionality.
NOTE: If you are reading this on Github, we recommend that you visit our official project page on Drupal.org and install the module as you would any other Drupal module. Code that is committed here at GitHub should be considered in development/bleed edge/etc.
This version of the module only works with the v8.x releases of Drupal.
- Download and install the module.
- Open up the edit page for a menu link
- Expand the Menu Markup section to see the options
- Enter in your link markup
- A special token @title can be used to substitute in the translated original title text
- If you select a node type count, another special token called @nodeCount will be available representing the total count of published nodes of the selected type (useful for Bootstrap badges in menu items)
To see a demo, visit the Incursus web site and check out our top navbar menu.
<span class="fa fa-home"></span> @title
<span class="fa fa-star"></span> <strong>@title</strong> <span class="badge">@nodeCount</span>
