I've tried everything I can think of to try to get menu minipanels to work. I've followed all the tutorials. I can create a minipanel no problem. I can assign the menu minipanel to a menu item no problem. But the menus just refuse to work.

If I inspect the menu link using firebug I can see the menu minipanel in the HTML. If I hover over the menu link I see the link light up in firebug so I know the js is firing. The menu minipanel js is included near the bottom of the HTML for the page. The qtip file is in sites/library/qtip. Everything appears to be correct but nothing happens.

So, are there any known incompatibilities with other modules I should be looking at? I'm using the Omega theme. Are there known problems using menu minipanels with Omega? I have jquery update set to jquery 1.5 because I was having some problems with editing Views when set to 1.7 or 1.8. I even tried disabling jquery update and that had no effect on menu minipanels.

Any help getting menu minipanels operating would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing here... trying to use Menu Minipanels along with Menu Block (like this http://drupal.org/node/1358006) and creating some very simple menus, but I cannot get them to appear.

Inspecting with Firebug gives me the inclination that it should work, but maybe I'm missing something. No errors in the event log, and the qtip path shows correctly on the Menu Minipanels config page. Not sure what is causing the issue.

I have tried with a couple different themes, and the behavior does not change. The only thing that appears when I hover over the menu item that should fire the Menu Minipanel is the tooltip that shows the description of the item... not the minipanel I built for the flyout.

Any ideas?

Drupal Core 7.16
CTools 7.x-1.2+6-dev
Menu Block 7.x-3.x-dev
Menu Minipanels 7.x-1.0-rc8+4-dev
Panels 7.x-3.3+10-dev

Thanks,
Brandon

I'm testing it again on a barebones D7 install and am running into the exact same problem too. Dangit.

It seems that this happens because of the change I added in #1218174: How to set the qTip position container that allows the qTip 'container' value to be edited, it had been passing through an empty value and qTip didn't like that. This patch removes the 'container' value if empty, and appears to resolve this problem.

same thing here, I am using the latest 6.x-1.x-dev version, I followed the step by step instruction here: http://drupal.org/node/984560#comment-3922442. but only seems to get a small white box showing up when hovering mouse over the menu item, with no minipanels showing up at all. I tried everything, from switching to garland theme, to use 6.x.-1.4, to disable jquery update module, and to install only menu minipanels module and its dependencies on a bare-bone garland, ...etc, the results seem to be the same, I could not figure out what went wrong. Qtip libary js file was in the right place...

documentation about this module's usage is very hard to find, any pointers to help would be greatly appreciated. I really liked this module, hopefully it was just because I did not know enough, not because the module is not workable anymore....I had this doubt since I noticed a sharp decline when viewing the download and usage statistics. seems all of a sudden few people are interested in this great module....

The small white box problem mentioned in #9 sounds like the issue that I fixed here: https://drupal.org/node/2087749

I haven't looked into this on D6 but I'm sure the fix would be very similar.

thanks very much for your help Jeriatrix, unfortunately D6 version does not seem to recognize menu_load_links() function, I am getting undefined menu_load_links() function calls fatal error after I applied your patch. I did not know drupal or menu minipanel well enough to dig further..

one more thing, your patch seems to be trying to fix the issue of "Mini-panels only display on parent page of menu drop down" issue, whereas my problem is mini-panels do not show up at all no matter which level the menu item is on, even for the menu item on primary links.
So back to my question, is this menu minipanel module in a working state for D6 or not? could someone please tell me a successful case? many thanks
