Saves a menu link.

After calling this function, rebuild the menu cache using menu_cache_clear_all().

Parameters

$item: An associative array representing a menu link item, with elements:

  • link_path: (required) The path of the menu item, which should be normalized first by calling drupal_get_normal_path() on it.
  • link_title: (required) Title to appear in menu for the link.
  • menu_name: (optional) The machine name of the menu for the link. Defaults to 'navigation'.
  • weight: (optional) Integer to determine position in menu. Default is 0.
  • expanded: (optional) Boolean that determines if the item is expanded.
  • options: (optional) An array of options, see l() for more.
  • mlid: (optional) Menu link identifier, the primary integer key for each menu link. Can be set to an existing value, or to 0 or NULL to insert a new link.
  • plid: (optional) The mlid of the parent.
  • router_path: (optional) The path of the relevant router item.

$existing_item: Optional, the current record from the {menu_links} table as an array.

$parent_candidates: Optional array of menu links keyed by mlid. Used by _menu_navigation_links_rebuild() only.

Return value

The mlid of the saved menu link, or FALSE if the menu link could not be saved.
