Menu and User Levels [solved]

[rotor]

Hi,

I have installed  rt_elemental (Rocketthemes) on my site and am having a little problem with the menu permissions.

The main menu is the com_mainmenu from elxis and works fine.

The top menu is a moomenu from rocketthemes and isnt working properly. I have the permissions set up for all items as public_frontend and visitors can see and use the menu. But as soon as you log in the menu disappears and no more menu?


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Solved ...

All I had to do was show Show UnAuthorized Links in elxis main config

No, this is not the solution. Your menu seems that contain incompatible (and dangerous) to Elxis code. Open it and if you find something like this:

AND access <= $my->gid

change it to:

AND access IN ($my->allowed)

Also you must add language check inside the queries:

AND ((language LIKE '%$lang%') OR (language IS NULL))

ok,

tried to add the language code into this:

if ($mosConfig_shownoauth) {
     $database->setQuery("SELECT m.*, count(p.parent) as cnt" .
   "\nFROM #__menu AS m" .
   "\nLEFT JOIN #__menu AS p ON p.parent = m.id" .
    "\nWHERE m.menutype='$menutype' AND m.published='1'" .
   "\nGROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.parent, m.ordering ");
      } else {
     $database->setQuery("SELECT m.*, sum(case when p.published=1 then 1 else 0 end) as cnt" .
   "\nFROM #__menu AS m" .
   "\nLEFT JOIN #__menu AS p ON p.parent = m.id" .
    "\nWHERE m.menutype='$menutype' AND m.published='1' AND m.access <= '$my->gid'" .
   "\nGROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.parent, m.ordering ");
   }

This is what it ended up as:

if ($mosConfig_shownoauth) {
     $database->setQuery("SELECT m.*, count(p.parent) as cnt" .
   "\nFROM #__menu AS m" .
   "\nLEFT JOIN #__menu AS p ON p.parent = m.id" .
    "\nWHERE m.menutype='$menutype' AND m.published='1'" .
   "\n AND ((language LIKE '%$lang%') OR (language IS NULL))" .
   "\nGROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.parent, m.ordering ");
      } else {
     $database->setQuery("SELECT m.*, sum(case when p.published=1 then 1 else 0 end) as cnt" .
   "\nFROM #__menu AS m" .
   "\nLEFT JOIN #__menu AS p ON p.parent = m.id" .
    "\nWHERE m.menutype='$menutype' AND m.published='1' AND m.access <= '$my->gid'" .
   "\n AND ((language LIKE '%$lang%') OR (language IS NULL))" .
   "\nGROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.parent, m.ordering ");
   }

I got this warning on the site page:

PHP WARNING
PHP: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
uri: index.php?option=com_edir&Itemid=5
path: /components/com_edir/edir.php

WARNING(2): /home/ozpla3/public_html/oztravelspot/templates/rt_elemental/rt_moomenu.php, line 97

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and also got an error when I tried to replace the gid with allowed as:

if($my->gid){

if($my->allowed){

Also tried to delete out the statement as in the com_mainmenu but got errors.

Do you think it not a good idea to use these templates then?? Is there some one that would like to look at this template to check that it is safe to use with elxis??

It would be appreciated very much!!

Cheers

If you look to my first post I did not said you to replace $my->gid with $my->allowed.

Here is the right query:

global $lang;

if ($mosConfig_shownoauth) {
     $database->setQuery("SELECT m.*, count(p.parent) as cnt" .
   "\n FROM #__menu AS m" .
   "\n LEFT JOIN #__menu AS p ON p.parent = m.id" .
   "\n WHERE m.menutype='$menutype' AND m.published='1'" .
   "\n AND ((m.language LIKE '%$lang%') OR (m.language IS NULL))".
   "\n GROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.parent, m.ordering ");
 } else {
     $database->setQuery("SELECT m.*, sum(case when p.published=1 then 1 else 0 end) as cnt" .
   "\n FROM #__menu AS m" .
   "\n LEFT JOIN #__menu AS p ON p.parent = m.id" .
   "\n WHERE m.menutype='$menutype' AND m.published='1' AND m.access IN (".$my->allowed.")" .
   "\n AND ((m.language LIKE '%$lang%') OR (m.language IS NULL))".
   "\n GROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.parent, m.ordering ");
}


Notice: The query is NOT ADODB compatible but it will work if your database is mysql.

dear datahell

is it possible to create sub menu in top menu?

thanks

[datahell]

Off course. Just set a menu item to have as parent an other item.
