First, welcome to XOOPS!

When you make chages to themes, you must empty all the contents fo the templates_c/ folder so your changes will take effect. The templates_c/ folder is where all theme and template files are cached for faster page generation.

Note: Don't delete the file index.html in the templates_c/ folder. It is there for security reasons.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the welcome!

I already tried clearing my templates_c folder but the menu still doesn't appear. Also, when I made changes to my theme before, I didn't have to clear the templates_c folder to implement the changes. I've been working on my XOOPS site since November and this is the first time I encountered a problem that really has me stumped. You guys have any other solution for this? Thanks.

You might want to check the URL you use to get to it. Searching on the site I found a reference that the full url must be specified for it to work.

GDL-Web.com :: Website development.
Xoopslance.com::Freelancing and Projects
thelionsden-arena.net:: Clan/League/Ladder Hosting

The javascript code is in my theme.html. It's not an external js file.

I tried using it as an external file and it still didn't work. I specified the file's URL.

It's driving me insane!

Is it possible that there is some incompatability between the javascript that comes with XOOPS and your code?

To verify this you can try deleting this from the head of your theme:

 <script type="text/javascript"> 
 
script>

Then clear templates_c/ and check whether your menu works. If it works, you'll need to rewrite your menus script.

After you have finished testing put back in the theme.html the code you deleted.

prowler,

Could you either post a link to your theme or post your theme's code here (w/ the javascript you're trying to use) so we can get a better idea of what is going on with your situation?

TIP: If you place your code in

?>

tags, it will make it much easier to read.

Thanks,

James

A week ago, I was trying to add a js script (for adding the snow effect) in my theme html.

By placing it inside the tag nothing was happening but once I've inserted into the everything is working fine.

The script exists as a separate file and I'm using the following code in order to include it

<script type="text/javascript" src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>js/snow.js">script>

Perhaps this will help you...
