I was just noticing that this is still uncorrected and thought it would be good to post a reminder...

No, it was good that you brought it to my attention. I’ll see what I can do to clarify the issue.

My mistake then, thanks for clearing it up!

Well, actually it’s just badly written...it tries to default to menutitle, but if that is empty it will use pagetitle.

// if menutitle is blank fall back to pagetitle for menu link
$textOfLinks = (empty($child['menutitle'])) ? 'pagetitle' : "$textOfLinks";

While I was reading the DropMenu snippet documentation, I noticed a small flaw in the &textOfLinks part.

Currently it says:

What database field do you want the actual link text to be? The default is pagetitle because it is always a valid (not empty) value, but if you prefer it can be any of the following: menutitle, id, pagetitle, description, parent, alias, longtitle, introtext. TO DO: set text to be first non-empty of an array of options. Defaults to ’menutitle’.

If you take a look at the underlined text you can see that this part has two default states . I assume the default should be menutitle, but you might want to correct this in the docs.
