Well I made the changes to my test system and it popped right up...

This is my development xoops 2.5.
I went to modules/system/template/blocks/system_block_mainmenu.html and added the code between the lines



and




Was going to put the whole block on here but for some reason I am getting a blank screen when I hit submit even though preview works fine.


I have "Check templates for modifications ?" set to yes and using default templates.

Came up fine with no issue.

Make sure you are actually saving it to the right position and that the file is the right one.

If you are not caching the templates currently and you made the change and it isn't being read then it has to be a file permissions issue on the file its self or you have multiple copies of the same thing at the same place somehow and the system is taking the old one instead of the new one. (I noticed if I edit files through my cpanel it does this to me so I make sure I ftp to my site, download the file, make whatever changes, then upload it back via FTP over riding the original file. Otherwise I have multiple copies of the same file that are just different versions. )

W00t!!!

OK it is working - but for a weird reason, I think.

The default template set was set to Defaultclone - a clone of default that I had created early in the process - and the menu items do not appear. When the default template set is set to default, it works.

I don't know why this would be, but I am happy that it now works.

Whew.

Many thanks Rod and ghia for your help.

Well maybe I wasn't clear enough in #8 where I addressed this...

And I quote...

I could have added "or atleast make sure you are set to using the "default" templates in system preferences.

Glad to have helped and helped you figure it out...
