+INTRODUCTION

+
+Creator: akashjain132 <http://drupal.org/user/2622667>
+
+This module enables you to make Menu Settings required on specific content types
+
+It forces a node from one or more content types to be included in the menu system
+before the content will be saved successfully. This can be useful in a number of
+situations, e.g. when using [menupath-raw] in the pathauto settings, which expects
+a node to live in the menu system. This module makes sure it does.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+See http://drupal.org/getting-started/install-contrib for instructions on
+how to install or update Drupal modules.
+
+- Enable the module
+- Navigate to Administration -> Structure -> Content Types -> YOUR CONTENT TYPE
+- You can force menu settings in the fieldset 'Menu settings'
+- When enabled, adding or editing nodes of this content type will be impossible
+  without adding a menu entry.
