hook_menu is not called

Posted by tomas.teicher on November 25, 2012 at 9:28pm

I have created custom module and have tried it to install on my website. Installation was correct expect problem with menu links. My hook_menu function was not called. I suggessted it is error in my module. Then I tried to install several public modules from drupal.org and their hook_menu were not called too. I flushed caches several times and it didn't help. Could anybody help, where can be problem? Is there any settings on website where I should look?

I am sure hook_menu was not called at all, because I added watchdog command into function body. It seems like problem with cache but I flushed caches several times and it didn't help

hook_menu() is only called on

Posted by nevets on November 25, 2012 at 9:44pm

hook_menu() is only called on install or when the menus are rebuilt (which should happen on clearing the cache).

Try rebuilding the menus.

If is still does not work, make sure you hook_menu() returns the menu items.

Still not working, you can post the function here.

thanks for the answer I tried

thanks for the answer

I tried to rebuild menus and then flush all caches but it didn't help. I have installed two public modules (Menu editor, Quiz) but I cannot use links of these modules. I tryied to look on all hook_menu_alter implementations on my web but I didn't see there something that should cause not calling hook_menus.

Menu editor module

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_menu().
 */
function menu_editor_menu() {
  $items['admin/structure/menu/manage/%menu/poweredit'] = array(
    'title' => 'Power Edit',

Do they work if you uninstall

Posted by nevets on November 26, 2012 at 4:08am

Do they work if you uninstall your custom module and rebuild the menus?

You say hook_menu() is not

Posted by Jaypan on November 26, 2012 at 5:07am

You say hook_menu() is not being called - how are you diagnosing this? What are the symptoms?

I have added command to first

Posted by tomas.teicher on November 27, 2012 at 12:12am

I have added command to first line of hook_menu body:

<?php
function mymodule_menu() {
watchdog('mymodule', 'test');
?>

I do not see any log in recents logs.

Are any pages on your site

Posted by Jaypan on November 27, 2012 at 1:22am

Are any pages on your site accessible? If they are, then hook_menu() is being called. If they aren't, then hook_menu() isn't being called.

The more accurate test would be to do the following:

<?php
function my_module_menu()
{
  $menu['some_path'] = array
  (
    'title' => 'some_path',
    'page callback' => 'my_page_callback',
    'access callback' => TRUE,
  );
  return $menu;
}

function my_page_callback()
{
  return 'Page found';
}
?>

Add the above code (changing my_module to your module name), clear your cache, and go to the path /some_path. If you see the page, hook_menu() is being called. If you don't see the page, then you have bigger problems :D

I suspect that either hook_menu is being called, and your watchdog call is not working for some reason, or else you have an error in your code, or your module is not enabled. Using the above code will give us a position to start from.

So core paths are being registered, but contributed module's paths are not? Is that correct?

How are you installing these

Posted by alfaguru on November 29, 2012 at 12:06pm

How are you installing these modules? Are they listed in the admin modules page? Do they appear as enabled in that list?

Hi If your site is working,

Posted by aditya.ghan on November 29, 2012 at 12:02pm

If your site is working, then probably your hook_menu() is working.

Also, check the menu_links table for seeing whether your paths are registered there

I also have this problem

Posted by jamesmorrish on January 5, 2013 at 11:00pm

I have several contrib and custom modules which have hook_menus working as expected. I am installing the WYSIWYG module, but the hook_menu in that module is not being called. I've tried DPMing out a message in the function, then cleared the cache. No message. The menu items in the WYSIWYG module are not registered in the menu_links table..

I initially installed via Drush, but have tried uninstalling and manually reinstalling.

I had solved it just reusing

Posted by tomas.teicher on January 9, 2013 at 2:16pm

I had solved it just reusing older version of my database. I had some wrong saved data in database and system blocked calling hook_menu. I don't remember what particular problem was, I just used last saved database with working version.

Hi, try instal another

Posted by tomas.teicher on January 9, 2013 at 2:18pm

Hi,
try instal another module, whether problem is not just in wysiwyg module
