I have no clue what I did, but my User and Main menus have completely disappeared.

I've installed Xoop and several of the mods it comes with, and I've setup most of the site already. This has been an awesome system to use everything is very easy organized.

But today I was working on it and added a couple small blocks above the News section, which is set to be the top/main page. I got the blocks in there, and they work just fine.

But then I installed the Sections modules and the User Menu and Main Menus on the left side have disappeared. The new blocks I created disappeared as well.

I went back and made the Sections module inactive but it didn't change anything.

Can someone help? What did I do wrong?

Hi

You may want to look at this thread.

heya thanks for the reply. i did come across that thread and i tried changing the settings in the blocks but it had no effect. :( finally i had to give up and start from stratch. i will make sure to turn off the cache while setting it up tho like suggested.

thanks again.

If your user menu is missing and you cant login, this is what to do.

1- In your browser enter your site's home page URL, then user.php immediately after this. ie, http://yoursite.com/user.php This should load your login page where you can now enter your login details.

2- Now enter the address http://yoursite.com/admin.php You should now be in admin.

3- if you cant see the admin icon read FAQ here https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=276

4- If you can see the admin icon, hover over it and click groups.

5- select webmasters group and click modify.

6- find your main menu and user menu and make sure they are visible by checking the box agianst them.

7- Click GO at the page bottom.

8- Repeat this for all your groups as required.

9- No go to your system admin icon that should be visible and click blocks and make sure that main menu and user menu is checked and visible in the radio button.

10- Click GO at page bottom

This should clear the fault.
