Big Menu Module for large Drupal sites
We need to find a solution for the sites that have very long menus (Linguistics is an example) .
This is one option.

Comments:
- Committed modules to Acquia Dev via git. (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Enabled BigMenu module on https://dev.linguistics.osu.edu. (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Tested BigMenu module on dev.linguistics. Sub-menus are collapsed and easier to manage. Attempt to move menu item was successful. Testing on dev.cfs (after talking to Chris). (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Have also tested on folklore (dev.cfs...). Under About>Folklore Resource, moved 'Careers in Folklore' and 'Folklore Programs' successfully. Resetting to alpha-sort. (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Also tested in main nav links. (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Using YSlow to check load performance before/after enabling menuperformance... (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- @wallace638 checked that weighting/positioning and enabling/disabling menu items in admin tree form worked on dev.cfs. (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Menu Browser module is an alternative to BigMenus, but also does not have D8 release or posted roadmap for port (https://www.drupal.org/project/menuux) (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Need to look at Superfish/JQuery plugin to see if we can leverage this since site already uses it. (Sean Quigley - Jan 4, 2017)
- Perhaps try this, but so far, BigMenu seems to be the best solution though does not have http://www.wdtutorials.com/drupal/navigation/drupal-7-tutorial-drop-down-menus-superfish-article/7 (Sean Quigley - Jan 5, 2017)
- @seanquigley3 Does Menu Position offer any benefit to how the interface looks when we add a page to the menu from the content page? (Eva Dale - Jan 5, 2017)
- Music will need this as well as CFS and Linguistics. (Eva Dale - Jan 10, 2017)
- @seanquigley3 Can you make me a non Shib user account on dev.linguistics.osu.edu? I would like to play with the big menu options. (Eva Dale - Jan 13, 2017)
- Added Eva's user ID to local authentication. (Sean Quigley - Jan 19, 2017)
- Searched for additional options to de-uglify the 'Parent Item' drop-down when providing a menu link at content creation/edit. Existing solutions only handle admin UI or user-facing display of menus. (Sean Quigley - Jan 19, 2017)
- Might be able to provide a different widget or view to select parent items when creating/editing content. (Sean Quigley - Jan 19, 2017)
- Eva will talk to units first before we put this on prod. (Eva Dale - Jan 25, 2017)
- Am talking with units and enabling this on a case by case basis. Also adding info in our database so we know which sites are using it. (Eva Dale - Feb 8, 2017)
