I must say that I am embarressed...at some point in time I turned off my user menu and didn't even notice.

Well will you look at that.. I have the admin menu on the main and all sub sites....

I have read about the XOOPS variables use within the text of an article but I have not found where these are listed. Is there a document with these listed so I will know what they are and be able to provide them to my users.

More specifically what I am looking for is a tag to add a mail to the admin in a message.

I upgraded to the 1.3 RC2 yesterday. I went through all the upgrade and it seems to be working correctly although I am having a problem. It is only displaying 3 top topics. When I enter a new topic it marks it as sub-menu? "no" but simply will not display it in the Topic dropdown in post new article.

@ m0nty, Yes I can get to the admin. The more I work with it it simply seems to have forgotten that I am the admin when I am on the main screen. I also access the sub sites the same way with no problems.

Also, I forgot that I also did the upgrade to the news 1.3 rc2 just before I noticed the link was missing from the main site.

I have not had the link on the sub sites ever.

One more thing.. Is there a was to include a link for the sub sites admin from the main site admin?

Yes, I am the web master on all the sites. At first I had the admin link on the main site but after a reboot, you have to love windows, I lost it on the main site also.

Actually the menu change was the thing that made my mind up to go with xoops. I was evaluating 3 different cms products, spending most of my time on xoops, and after seeing the change to the menu I decided to stop evaluating the others. It's the simple things that make the difference. The other menu gave me a headache after working with it for a while.

I am really liking this "fix" but I seem to have a problem. I seem to have lost my administration link on all my sites including the main site. I have been using the site/admin.php to access the admin and it is working just fine but the link is simply missing from the main screen.

Other comments:
I really like the menu system in the admin that you included with the "fix" I am using it on a site I have no intention on changing to a multi-site.

My table settings:
If anyone is interested in single login here are the minimum tables you have to share.

users
session

I also shared
groups (to share groups I set up)
groups_users_links (to share access rights on each site)
smiles (no reason to duplicate)

My site is an internal development site for different projects so I wanted anyone in a development group to have access to have access to the same information on all sites, that is why I shared groups_users_links.

If you share only users the users can login on each site but the sessions are not shared so you must share session for single login.

Mithrandir,

Thanks for the login help. I really appreciate it.
