When I click the 'Administration Menu' button on the homepage and it takes me to the page, I get a pop-up saying "Element 'menu1' does not exist in this document. AdMenu cannot be initialized.".

Can anybody help me?

Lets us know how you get on.

The admin menu is written to a cache file if that can't be written, you may get that or may need deleting and redoing unsure...

I ALWAYS get this error when I try to access admin.php without being logged in.
Im using XOOPS 2.2.4 and the default theme.

I traced the error to originate from this file
themes/default/js/adminmenu.js (line 24)

this.init = function() { if (!document.getElementById(this.id)) alert("Element '"+ this.id +"' does not exist in this document. AdMenu cannot be initialized."); if (this.type != "horizontal" && this.type != "vertical") { return alert("AdMenu.init() failed. Unknown menu type: '"+this.type+"'");}


When I commented out this line, I didnt get the javascript alert window, however I do see a yellow javascript error icon in the bottom left corner of the IE browser - when clicked on it says "'AdMenu' is undefined".

This error prevents the automatic redirection on this page. The redirection message is "You don't have the right to access this area".

Anyone know of a easy hack to bypass getting this javascript alert popup in the first place?
