Name: menu_otf module
Author: Matt Westgate <drupal at asitis dot org>
Last update: (See CHANGELOG.txt for details)
Drupal: 4.5
Dependencies:
  menu.module (comes with Drupal base installation)
********************************************************************
DESCRIPTION:

Provides an easy way to add nodes to the menu system.

With the introduction of Drupal 4.5 came the menu module which lets 
an user create menus of links for site navigation or other purposes. 
While this is a great addition to the Drupal system, the workflow 
could use some refining.  Here is the current workflow:

1. Create content.
2. Remember the node id of the newly created content (node).
3. Navigate to 'administer > menu > add menu item' and build the link.

After enabling menu_otf, the workflow becomes.

1. While creating content (a node), optionally choose a title for 
   the link for it to show up in one of the selected site menus.

This module lets you create menu items while creating content. It
also lets you manage menu links while editing existing content and 
eliminates the need to go to a separate interface to manage menus.

********************************************************************
DEPENDENCIES:

You must enable menu.module. Menu_otf uses the save routines and 
permissions from menu.module and will not work without it.

********************************************************************
INSTALLATION:

see the INSTALL.txt file in this directory.

********************************************************************
WISH LIST:

- The ability to suppress some of the drupal_set_messages() outputted 
  by menu.module. 

********************************************************************
