Add bootstrap markup to Menu (support request)

[MetaBureau]

Hi I have added a custom menu (footer_menu) and wish to add bootstrap CSS to the menu's UL.

There is a theme function in the Bootstrap theme which does this:
/**

• Bootstrap theme wrapper function for menu links.
  */
  function bootstrap_subtheme_menu_tree__menu_footer_menu(&$variables) {
  return '
  ' . $variables['tree'] . '
  ';
  }

I'm struggling to achieve this using Kalatheme and would appreciate some help.

I would also appreciate some info on how best to make menus work as dropdowns. I think I can apply some of the classes but am unsure how to get the child menu items to be included.

Hello

Here are my suggestions.

One way:
You can do this with a hook_menu_link
https://www.drupal.org/node/1201248#comment-4875382
The gist of it there.

Another way:
Look at the page.tpl for kalatheme, you will see this:

$pri_attributes = array(
'class' => array(
'nav',
'navbar-nav',
'links',
'clearfix',
),
AND

$main_menu_expanded, 'attributes' => $pri_attributes, 'heading' => array( 'text' => t('Main menu'), 'level' => 'h2', 'class' => array('element-invisible'), ), )); ?>

You can manipulate your menu to do what you this way too. Just change the attributes some and all that fun stuff.

Thanks labboy0276, now I can change the li classes!
Any idea to change the ul classes?
It would be interesting to add a 'data-toggle' attribute to menu_attributes so all these snippets could be used.

Here is a gist I wrote to play around with anchor tags in a menu

You can use it to your will and rebuild the full menu

edit: you find here a template.php witch changes main menu to use bootstrap style. testet with kalatheme.
you can change main_menu to footer_menu and adapt the variables if you do not like tabs, but navbar for example.

@schasoli - Amazing! Thank you so much :)

@soniktrooth do you think we should provide this as default behavior?
It is "a bootstrap theme" afterall.
