Taxonomy Menu Trails

You need this module if you have a nested menu tree with taxonomy terms, e.g.:


* Term 1
* Term 1-1


* Term 2
* Term 2-1



And you have a node referring to the term in menu. For example, node refers to the Term 1-1. On the node page you'll see only the first level of menu, because node itself doesn't have a menu item and the menu becomes collapsed:


* Term 1
* Term 2

Module solves this problem, so the menu will be expanded to display the term referred by current node:


* Term 1
* Term 1-1


* Term 2
