How do I insert a <span> </span> tag inside the <a> </a> tag on my main menu
I tried the code found in How do I insert a <span> </span> tag inside the <a> </a> tag on my main menu, and I have a problem with it: while it does add the span tags, it also strips out the main menu's unordered list and classes.
How do I add the span tags inside the main menu links while also keeping the unordered list and the list menu classes?
Try this, http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--theme.inc/function/theme_links/7:
function THEMENAME_links__system_MENUNAME_menu($variables) {
$output = '';
foreach ($variables['links'] as $link) {
$output .= l('<li' . drupal_attributes(array('class' => $class)) . '>' .'<span>'. check_plain($link['title']) .'</span>' . '</li>', $link['href'], $link);
}
return $output;
}
Is the <li> inside the <a>?
<a> is supposed to be inside the <li> tag. However, the above code strips out the classed that drupal 7 gives for each menu item. The above code outputs this: link And the output I'm looking for is this:link. In your code, the assigned menu classes in the <li> tag (<li class="menu-501">) are missing. It also replaces any opening and closing html tag with > and < . @Westie @kiamlaluno
ulandliand the attribute classes. The output for the answer results in this and the output I'm looking for is this.(please also see my comment below) I guess my question should have been: How do I add the span tags inside the main menu links while also keeping theuland thelitags and associated classes and not converting the opening and closing tags to gt and lt.
