Title: Main Menu Module not showing sometimes [SOLVED]
Post by: rentasite on January 25, 2009, 19:11:52
Hi, I have a problem on my main menu module. I have set it to show on specific Pages/Items and everything is OK. Except this:

On that MENU i have a Menu link to a "Table - Content Section" (Frequent Questions). When that link is clicked, the Main Menu is showing correctly. If further than that... someone selects to click on a Category of that Table... the Menu disappears  :( :(

This is happening when SEO PRO is enabled. With Seo Basic or NO SEO at all, the MENU module is showing as it should.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Edit: I tried also template OKTO and the same problem exists. Real strange @#^%$#$@

Yeap i have tried that also.

Notice1: The menu is NOT showing only... when the user has this page open (see attachment). Further or before that that page, it works fine.

Notice2: Above the table those Parameters (Filtro, Seira Taxinomisis) cannot be disabled. I have set them NOT TO SHOW... and they are still there.  >:(

REALLLLLL STRANGE.

check and clean recycle bin and  cache ..

see what links are exist to this category - from category's parametres page....

i had in the past some relative problems...

some times i had to completly delete all links(to this cat) from any menu and  do all this steps above  ,
before i recreate the link

it seemed in my case  that after many tries to customize-publish-unpublish-recreate link to a specific cat
menus was confused... so delete-clear all to this cat and recreate solved the problem.

You're right. I see 3 links that exist on that section (not category). See the attachment... OK the 1st one is the one im using/testing. But the other 2 i cannot find them on my menus  ::)

I did empty the trash, cleaned the cache, did also a repair/optimize to the DB through Phpmyadmin.

Pos tha ta kserizoso apo ekei!?!?!?!?!  :o

delete all(to that section-cat) from menus including the one that actually is needed
all leave that section-cat as an orphan no link from any where..

clean recycle cache

once upon you do all this you will notice then that cat-section in your attachment will list no links any more 


then is safe to  recreate the links that you want

WOW!!! SOLVED

Thanks Kosta, for your help. Your last post was the solution.  :D

Something weird - For anyone interested
See the attachment on my previous post to understand better. You can see 3 Existing Menu Links. 2 of them were supposed to be found in TopMenu. Ok? But when i was taking a look on topmenu's items i could not find the 2 links as mentioned on the attachment.

What i did: I clicked on the Item Name (Gnosiologiki Vasi) and the Menu Item opened ready to be EDIT. I clicked SAVE and after that it could be seen among the other topmenu items. And then i did what Ks-net wrote on the post above.

Some times happened menus to be confused If  we create and delete and then  recreate
exactly the same link to the same menu....
thats why you had 2 link listings exactly the same in menu-links list (in attachment)...

it seems that they left stored in DB although that they don't exist anywhere.... and are completely(?) deleted , even from recycle bin ...
this stored options confuses any  new link(to this specific cat-section-item) that will be created in the same menu or some times and in other menus ....and your new link obeys to parameters-options of that supposed deleted(?) first-link

my way->  was to empty that  cat(or section) from any link and recreate a link from the beginning!
your way->  to reactive(from cats page-nowhere else visible) that supposed deleted links and then you was able to customize properly  a new or one of the old one's .. if i undestoond well!

the only thing that i cant understand is why cat-parameters (cache in a way) links and their link-options towards them, even if links are deleted,
that seems to happened
