XOOPS: Just Upgraded from 2.0.13.1 to 2.0.14
PHP: 4.3.11
MySQL: 4.1
Web Server: IIS 6.0
OS Windows 2003 Server
Theme: Cloned Default

When I was first working with XOOPS I thought I was doing a smart thing and now I realize it was really stupid.

I did not want all the sub menu options showing up in the main menu. I wanted visitors to visit each section for accessing the module/section options. I really want to keep the main menu as small as possible becasue I want to use a block directly below it that is, at least partically, displayed when the home page loads. Otherwise, it would be pushed down and people may not scroll down and see it.

So what I did was edit some file(s) to remove the sub menu options from the code. It worked beautifully until I reciently realized that some modules like AMS have the Submit Article button that only appears on the Sub Menu. Consequently there is no way to submit an article now.

OK so now all I have to do is restore the old file(s) right? Well that would be easy if I only remembered what file(s) I edited. I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the file(s) I edited.

I really do know better than to edit files without making a back up AND documenting the changes. I have definatly RE-learned that lesson

Would someone please show some mercy and help me recover from this bluder? What files do I need to restore?

Most, if not all, submenu functions can be found in the xoops_version.php file for each module. Just look for the "menu" and "sub menu" sections.

Hopefully, you just commented the code out.

hmmm... I compared the two xoops_version.php files in the system module with the origininal download and the one I am using now and they are identical. So, I guess I did not alter that file.

I did not change any of these files in the other modules either.

Is there another global menu .php or template file? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

You could also look at modinfo.php in the language folders.

Nope not that one either.

Honestly, I looked and looked and I do not see any files that might have something to do with the main & sub menus menu that appear to be altered.

I was sure there was some file(s) is altered somewhare.

OK let's assume I am remembering it wrong. What else might cause the sub menus for all modules not to show up in the main menu?

I am pretty sure it is not at the module level or ASM Submit Article would be there. Right?

Perhaps you removed it from the system_block_mainmenu.html?

Just a thought....

Thanks msdana! That was it!

Now the issue that was the reason I did this in the first place has returned.

I have the weblinks directory set to the home page so now the weblinks sub menu os really long.

Anysuggestions on

A. How to disable the main sub menu just for the webliinks directory module OR

B. Put the weblinks search form and Category list of Web links in a custom block to place on the home page.

THANKS AGAIN!

In the weblinks module, starting around line 116 comment out this:
Quote:

That should prevent your categories from showing up, but will keep Submit,Top Rated, and Popular sub-menus.

Hey that worked great! Thanks!

Is there a way to temporailry remove the Submit, Top, & Popular as well?

The submit link is available directly above the links index and the others will come up blank for some time since I have not launched the site yet and it may take awhile for there be enough data to make it worthwhile to display.

Same file, right above what you removed...comment out this:

When you need them again, just un-comment them
