I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. I have created two new profile field groups "Personal Information" and "Contact Information". These have fields that show up in the registration form and profile page just fine, but there isn't any buttons that show up to edit them. I can manually put the url in to do so, but why aren't these showing up?

If I put in /user/*/edit/Personal+Information, it will go to the edit page, but even that screen doesn't show up under the user edit section as seen from the breadcrumbs.

Any help on this is appreciated!

Thanks!

So if i am reading this right you are looking for links that go directly to the personal information page. when you login as the user, you see the edit button correct, because if you can see that then when you click on it you should be able to see the personal information button just beneath it. if you can't see the edit field then you are in a deal of trouble, as i have never heard of nor seen that before. if you want that to show up on one of the side menus you can go to admin/build/menus and then add ti to you menu. if you need more help contact me at my email address it should be in my account info.
good luck
hope i helped

It was literally that I wasn't able to see the secondary menu below the main tabs! But your reply made me think that perhaps it was something else entirely. So I checked the themes page and couldn't see any secondary menus either! Aha, a clue, so I opened template.php and sure enough, the secondary menu code that was being used to create a custom wrapper was commented out so that it never got to page.tpl.php. I was using Garland as a base for my theme and it wraps this menu into a $tabs2 variable.

Whew... I thought I was going crazy there. Thanks for the memory spark!

ahh been there done that. It gets really fun when you start to mess with css and your z-indexes start to block buttons and what not. And no problem dude, helping others is a part of the being a member of the open source community. If you ever have any more problems and need to brainstorm just PM me or send me an email.

I have the same problem, but I don't understand how you fixed it. I am using a custom theme, and those secondary tabs are not available for some reason. Can you detail what code to use and where it should go to enable the secondary menu tab?

THANKS!!!

Does anyone know how I can get these secondary menu tabs to show? Judging by the earlier responses, it appears to be a code in the template.php or page.tpl.php files. I'm not a coder so I'm not clear on how to fix this.

Many thanks in advance!

Surprisingly my tabs2 variable is also commented out in my template.php which is originally based on Garland. I think I commented it out when I worked on the templates as I thought I don't need it.

While it is true that I don't really it in my front-end theme. But because of the administer/block quirk(or design) -- always show you the default theme regardless of your admin. theme, I need the buttons in order to switch between themes.

In the template.php of your theme folder, make sure the first variable assignment is not commented out.

function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $vars['tabs2'] = menu_secondary_local_tasks();

  // Hook into color.module
  if (module_exists('color')) {
    _color_page_alter($vars);
  }
}

Do you have the tabs activated in your page.tpl.php ?

      <?php if (isset($tabs)) { ?><div id="tabs"><?php print $tabs ?></div><?php } ?>			              
      <?php if (isset($tabs2)): print $tabs2; endif; ?>

$tabs2 you 'll have for example in the garland theme because of the _phptemplate_variables function() in template.tpl.php :


/**
 * Override or insert PHPTemplate variables into the templates.
 */
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  if ($hook == 'page') {

    if ($secondary = menu_secondary_local_tasks()) {
      $output = '<span class="clear"></span>';
      $output .= "<ul class=\"tabs secondary\">\n". $secondary ."</ul>\n";
      $vars['tabs2'] = $output;
    }

    // Hook into color.module
    if (module_exists('color')) {
      _color_page_alter($vars);
    }
    return $vars;
  }
  return array();
}
