Changing Menu Path to node/edit

Question

Is it posible to make a copy of primary menu with changed paths?

For example instead of node/56, I need to rewrite the path to node/56/edit. The purpose of this is to have the new menu in my Admin Panel, so the site administrator can click on a link to go directly to node edit page.

You can do it easily with the "views" module by using the node edit link available as field. If you don't really need to keep the menu hierarchy, creating view would be the easiest solution.

Ok, I've got it. I'm using:

• Menu Node API -- to manage relationships between node ids and menu items;
• and Menu Node Views -- to make View of type 'Menu tree'

I then made a new view with these settings (called primary_link_in_admin):

• Filter - Menu: Menu name = primary-links (or whatever you need)
• Sort criteria - Menu: Weight asc
• Fields -
  • Menu: Link path - Exclude from display
  • Menu: Link title - with overridden values - Output this field as a link → Link path: [link_path]/edit

So I have my Primary Menu in the admin section of the site and a site administrator is able to click on any menu link and goes directly to node/edit on that node. In that way I have very clean Admin section of my Drupal site....(perfect for small - brochure type sites)

That's why I love Drupal and it's community :)

Use menu clone, then manually change paths for cloned menu.
