Hi,

I created an menu with the menutool integrated in the admnistration tool, really easy to create a menu with parent and children.
But when i click on a parent menubutton, the childrenbuttons don't appear. If you click on administrator you'll see all of the options. When you click on my created button nothing happens no children appears.
Really frustrating. Does somebody know an(the) solution.

When i click op view => source, there seems to be no difference with my menu and the original. When the box expanded is on, the children do appear.

So my question is, how come that my created menu's looks the same, but don't drop down?

Thank you

Is this a custom javascript or css menu, or are you just saying that clicking into a parent menu item, which causes a post-back to drupal, returns that menu item's page but no child menu items show? Are all menu items enabled?

I didnt change anything yet, its just the basic build in menu for drupal 5.
And indeed if you click on the parent item no children appears.

I see that, too. Other parent/child menus work (like "create content"), and the menu item is styled as a parent item (with the little arrow to expand).

Do they appear when you're logged in as admin? Check the permissions (admin>>user>>access) on the sub-items (or rather on the sub-item-types like in your Scores block). Can you access the subitems (by typing the url directly)? Can I/anonymous? And if so, does that somehow expand the parent menu?

Ok, the menu only expands when u mark the box, expend. And then it works. Really strange, but the parent doens't colapse by itself when u click on it. Its really strange.

I sent you a mail with login.

I can't figure it out!

Thanks for the help sofar.

Check out the couple menu items I created to test a theory. It appears you were adding items into the menu hierarchy but there were no real menu [nodes?] created. To fix your nodes, click on each hidden node's Edit tab, expand that node edit screen's "Menu" section and assign its place in the menu hierarchy here (see my node). Be sure to give it a name, or the menu association won't take.

I don't know why your menus (created exclusively in the menu editor) don't expand as expected, but do it the manner outlined above and you should be in good shape.

Thanks,

You have been a great help, with the pages i made with the page creator, i use the menu function to instantly create the menu. And it worked!!!
Very nice, now i can sleep tonight without breaking my starting drupal mind!!

Thanks a lot!

Ok so i was trying to find an solution with the nice_menu module.
The Head version should work for Drupal 5.
I copied the the folder nice_menus to the modules folder.
When i went to the module site in my administrator menu
it didnt appear strangley enough.
Is that because i use Drupal 5?

P.S. This is a add-on question, my main question really important for me.
Then again if you know the solution for this problem, all my problems
are fixed as well!

Thank u for all your efforts helping me!

First off, are you using the HEAD-version?
That one should come up in the modules-page....

If you're using nice_menus, then you have to tell the module which set of menu-items it has to use.

You have to switch on the Nice Menu 1 and configure it to use the menu-items you want it to.
Also don't forget to set the menu-items to display expanded...

I copied the nice_menus folder to the modules folder.
Like another module i installed, wich did work by itself.

So the path with the info of the nice menu module is : modules/nice_menus

I packed out the install and copied all the files, do you have to perform an action
or does drupal automaticly recons the files?
In the admin module there is no nice menu.

Does the head version still need a change in the php? So Drupal 5.0 can work with it?

Thanks so far

Thanks for the nice menu. Still looking for an answer to the drop down menu above!
