title: how to get all the menu items below a certain parent in drupal?
body: <p>I really only need the mlid and title text for the first level below a certain menu item. Here's what I'm doing at the moment. (It works, but I suspect there may be a more drupal-y way.):</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * Get all the children menu items below 'Style Guide' and put them in this format:
   * $menu_items[mlid] = 'menu-title'
   * @return array
   */
  function mymod_get_menu_items() {
      $tree = menu_tree_all_data('primary-links');
      $branches = $tree['49952 Parent Item 579']['below']; // had to dig for that ugly key
      $menu_items = array();
      foreach ($branches as $menu_item) {
          $menu_items[$menu_item['link']['mlid']] = $menu_item['link']['title'];
      }
      return $menu_items;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there?</p>
