I hope it’s ok to post this here – as it seems to be quite specific to a certain module (we_megamenu).

I ‘m using: Drupal core 8.4.4

And this post is about this module: we_megamenu, version 8.x-1.0-rc2.

A bit of background:
I ‘m trying to implement a megamenu, and I was quite disappointed because I haven’t been able to find a (fairly) easy and intuitive module to work with.

Anyway, I stumbled across we_megamenu, which seems the best I ‘ve used so far.

However, as it’s often the case in megamenus, the first row of a multi-column ‘menu’ would be titles, and not actual links.

I searched around and saw that this is implemented via special_menu_items module, which is now in core for Drupal 8.

Reading through question 229376, it seems straight-forward, and all you got to do is provide route:<nolink> to achieve this.

I did this for a couple of menu items that I want to be there as simple text and no links. Although structure -> menu accepts this and lists those items as plain black text not linking anywhere, my megamenu still shows them as links. I have cleared cache etc., nothing changes.

I have played around with another module that can implement megamenus (Superfish) which does ‘understand’ route:<nolink> (those items are then presented as plain text in the menu) – but I found it much harder to use in general.

All in all, does anyone know how I can get we_megamenu to show some menu items as simple text and no links?

Should I post similar questions here, or it’s better to open relevant issues in the module’s page? I ‘m new to Drupal and trying to figure it out.

Thanks for your time.

PS – thread in question 229376 says at the end:

To create a menu item without link in a custom module add to [module_name].links.menu.xml: url: 'internal:#'.

Could this be relevant to what I ‘m trying to do?
