I have been trying to create a custom menu block which shows a number of menu items with images on the current level.

I am having an issue where the active trail array doesn't return an menu item for the active node on level 4 of my menu. Here is an example of how I get the active trail:

$menu_tree = \Drupal::menuTree(); $menu_parent_tree = \Drupal::menuTree(); $menu_name = 'main'; // Build the typical default set of menu tree parameters. $parameters = $menu_tree->getCurrentRouteMenuTreeParameters($menu_name); foreach($parameters->activeTrail as $active_menu_link) { if($active_menu_link !== '') { $active_menu_id = explode(':', $active_menu_link); $entity = \Drupal::entityManager()->loadEntityByUuid($active_menu_id[0], $active_menu_id[1]); kint($entity->getTitle()); } } 

It seems that the issue is mostly related to the fact that the same node is linked to both a child menu item and a parent menu item. If I remove this then the function works as expected. Here is an example of my menu structure:

The two menu items highlighted in red are both linked to the same node since I want it to act as an overview page for the category. It could be that theres something else I can do to structure the menu differently. I am open to any alternatives on how I can get around this.

Let me know if theres any more details I can add.

Kind Regards,

Jamie
