Limiting menu management

Question

I am creating a website with Drupal 6.x that will have several content editors and several menus. I would like to somehow lock down their ability to add a piece of content as a top level navigation item. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Additionally, are there any modules that make the menu drop down in the content creation page a bit more user friendly?

Answer 1

The menu settings per content type module allows you to determine which content types may be added to each of your menus.

Answer 2

Are you sure you want to use the menu system? It's possible that you can use the views module to get something more flexible.

Answer 3

I have found several modules which look helpful for enhancing the menu system:
