Deprecate in favor of Link Attributes + Menu Item Attributes

Same question for https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_link_attributes →

I think we should really combine all of them to have one powerful module (or with submodules) and active maintainers instead of conflicting multiple modules with different / overlapping functionality!

Any maintainer opinion?

As one of the maintainers, I would also be in favor of this.

@themodularlab thank you for your quick feedback! In the meantime, could you perhaps add these alternatives to the module page?

sth. like:

<h2>Similar modules:</h2>
<ul>
  <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/link_attributes</li>
  <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_link_attributes</li>
</ul>

The both modules should do it vice-versa until they're all merged!

@Anybody, Done.

Plan:

This should be replaced by a combination of
Menu Link Attributes →
Link Attributes →

Menu Link Attributes should require Link Attributes and add additiona properties for the wrapping <ul> and <li> in menu items.

Best would be to also have an update hook to move over all the values. But to be clear here: I never used this module, so I won't do that part for this module.

As we've been running into these issues again and again in the last 3 years and due to the maintainers inactivity here, we decided to create a solution ourselves.

It's based on:
https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_item_attributes → for the menu item (<li>) attributes, eventually we'll extend this to the menu (<ul>) if possible
https://www.drupal.org/project/link_attributes → for the menu link (<a href>) attributes and link fields

and replaces

• https://www.drupal.org/project/menus_attribute →
• https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_link_attributes →

which are both great modules but conflict with https://www.drupal.org/project/link_attributes → which we need for link fields.

So finally we should have a solution for this old issue in some days...

I'll leave this issue open if anyone should run into the same issues or the maintainers decide to deprecate menus_attribute in favor of the mentioned combination.
