Scalable menu selector

Created on 12 November 2007, about 17 years ago

Updated 13 December 2023, 12 months ago

_book_parent_select (via book_toc) and menu_parent_options call menu_tree_all_data without a second parameter. That's bad because in this case the menu system will attempt to load items into memory of a specificied menu -- this is not the bug, as this the desired behaviour.

However, this is a scalability bug. Everything else is carefully crafted to only as few menu items as possible -- we added a pager to the overview, we only retrieve those menu links that could be available on a screen (pending access check of course).

Our train of thought was that contrib will provide better parent selectors -- drilldown probably -- but the only plug in method to this is form_alter which is crying over spilt milk because the form is done at this point. The task is to provide plug in points for these two.

We should probably do this at the widget level rather than the menu feature level, because there are other long select fields (e.g. taxonomy term hierarchy) with this exact problem. So, closing as a duplicate of 📌 Improve usability, accessibility, and scalability of long select lists Needs work .

Note the issue raised in #110 was resolved for Drupal 10.2 via 🐛 When adding a new menu link, restrict the available parents to the current menu Fixed
