Question

So I’m using menu_attributes (http://drupal.org/project/menu_attributes) to add specific classes to my menu items.
A problem for me is that these are added to the link itself

<li class="leaf active menu-mlid-873><a class="customClass active" href="/">Home</a></li>

But I would like to somehow make it like this, so that the class is also used for the parent of the link

<li class="customClass leaf active menu-mlid-873><a class="customClass active" href="/">Home</a></li>

I tried using theme_menu_alter but can’t seem to figure out how I can get the class from there too.

Answer 1

override the theme_menu_link function. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!menu.inc/function/theme_menu_link/7
