Preparing Menu Block Module for Drupal 8 Core

Chad Whitman

Abstract

Preparing the Menu Block module for Drupal 8 core by updating the contrib module to use new D7 menu APIs. Having the Menu Block module functionality, a very popular module, a part of Drupal core has been a long-term desire of the Drupal community.

Additional Information

The focus of this project this summer will be to update menu_block to use the new menu APIs. The current menu_block branch still uses the menu APIs that were available in D6. There are new menu APIs in D7 core that allow you to retrieve sub-trees and menu_block 7.x-3.x needs to be updated to use those APIs.
