Problem/Motivation
Hey, this is just a proposal for the far future, but I think it makes sense to discuss this.
Some days ago I came across entity_submenu_block module, which allows rendering the submenu level of the current page as entity view modes. It has some further options, but that's the key functionality.
As a user of menu_block since ever, I soon thought, this would be super powerful if it would be built on top of menu_block to combine the functionality!
While menu_block allows selecting the levels to render, title, etc. a lot more, entity_submenu_block provides settings to show rendered entities instead of text links in the menu block.
A menu_block submodule, e.g. menu_block_entities (or sth.) would implement the functionality, it would solve the existing functionality plus for example:
- Render sibling menu items as entities
- Render multiple menu levels as entities
- Render a selectable menu tree as entities
- and that all combined with the title linking etc.
Together, that would be able to solve even more use-cases, which the modules can't solve stand-alone.
So what do you think about that? Should we implement a menu_block submodule based on entity_submenu_block? And what should be the name?
Happy to discuss!
