Menu Item Weights not saved

The drag and drop sets weight automatically, so indeed they may not be what you set them to manually. So, there are potentially 2 different issues: is the ordering correct, and should the D-n-D code be doing something different.

In either case, the fix should go into 7.x first.

I think D-n-D makes the first item -50 (the limit of the delta on these items), and sorts from there.

Look at: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/misc/tabledrag.js

I think this is fixed.
Just tested it in several browsers.

After testing with javascript enabled, i disabled javascript in firefox.
And the weights I gave were still correct.

So this is not an 7-dev issue anymore.

Can I close this?

I have this menu items weight handle/dragging issue too.
It's hard to reproduce in a test site. But I can provide some screenshots, where you may see how the menu items reordering and weights are not kept when you hit save configuration (admin/structure/menu/manage/your-menu). It only happens with menu items which belongs to a node (like a basic page content type).

I wonder if this is an internationalization issue, as these nodes are translated. However it isn't related to menu translation, as it happens, even without this module.

Hi there,

I believe I ran my head against the very same issue today.

D 7.7, Bartik sub-theme
Main menu, secondary menu same source as main.
i18 module installed, 4 languages enabled
Most nodes are basic pages, not all translated yet.

When translating a node with enabled menu links, they all sit in a row in the main menu. With some, it is impossible to drag/drop into position. Changing weight (same thing, really) doesn't take, when saving.

Any ideas?

I can't believe this is the same bug as the one opened in June 2008, although menu drag and drop has not changed that much.

We need step by step instructions to reproduce this, even better would be a screencast showing the bug.

I searched this for hours:

If you have a menu with 250 entries, any changes to menu items will not be savedwith php 5.3.9. Every menu item has 4 post variables = 4 * 250 = 1000 variables

Change the php.ini file
max_input_vars=50000

or someting like that and restart your server daemon.

See also #1517092: admin/structure/menu/manage/MENU_NAME cannot be submitted on PHP 5.3.9+ for large menus (>~1000 items)

#13 is a good start at describing how to reproduce. However, a recent test (and any relevant messages from the logs) would be great since much has changed in the past 2 years. The issue described in #13 sounds like a memory or timeout issue.

Hi,

I think this problem lays a little deeper.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create custom menu item
2. Create a view with a menu item
3. Edit the menu and rearrange the items
4. Cache rebuild
5. The weight of the view menu item resets to the value set in views. Thus, it goes back to its original location

Also, if someone can reproduce this should be critical for the release.

Not able to reproduce.Tested it manually.

Thanks harings_rob! Given those steps, this is a duplicate of #2468713: Internal/custom menu links force-reset to the top of their menus on cache rebuild.
