codit_build_menu_list() - Generate a column list from a menu

Drupal Documentation
This function appears in the Codit Module

If you need to make a multicolumn list from a menu (or even a vocabulary) this function allows you to do that

Features

  • Flexible column numbers - will evenly distribute menu items across as many columns as requested.
  • Flexible reading directions - can toggle it to be read down, or across.
  • Flexible list structure using div, ul-li, or span.
  • Appropriately classed with column and item counts as well as first, middle , last. it uses codit_columnize() and codit_first_last_class().
  • Cached separately to make repeated calls for the same menu output less resource intensive. To see changes you MUST flush cache.
  • Can be tied to a taxonomy, you just have to connect the vocabulary to a menu first.
