Hello. I just downloaded the 'DHTML Menus' Module. I placed the 'dhtml_menu' folder into sites/all/modules. When I go into Modules section, DHTML Menus is located under 'Other'. I click on the box to enable it, I save configuration, and I "check manually" for updates.
I never receive a message saying that it is installed. Shouldn't I receive a message like this?
Under Site Configuration I can click on DHTML Menus.
But when I go into the Blocks section, there are no blocks under Disabled for "DHTML: Navigation", "DHTML: Primary links" or "DHTML: Secondary links". So I cannot put the DHTML Menus module anywhere. Any clue to why this is happening?
This is the first module I've tried downloading.

Any ideas from anyone?

Using 6.x-2.1 of the DHTML Menu.module
upon enabled for the first time you should have recieved a message like:
After that is done:
goto administer -> blocks
click on configure for one of the blocks
at the top of the block configuration screen should be a check box to enable the DHTML effect on that specific block.
Per your post, you've only gone to administer -> blocks, expecting the blocks to be labeled in some way. This is not the case.
Didn't get it..
I never received that message: "* All your menu blocks now use DHTML behavior by default. This configuration can be changed in the block settings.
* The configuration options have been saved."
I clicked on configure for Navigation, Primary links, and Secondary links and "Use the DHTML effect" is enabled by default.
After searching for hours, and hours.. I finally found that people are having the same problem. Perhaps it's a new issue bug?

following through with installing this on a test site and checking out the problem by trying to use the DHTML after enabling and working with a block. I confirm the bug. Though I did not check it with any other theme other then garland which the module should work with.
Thank you
Yes, I am using Garland as well.
Thanks for checking for me.

looks like the -dev version rolled tonight has fixed the problem. I just tested it and it works as expected.
-dev
Not exactly sure what that means. Should I download the -dev version and use it? Or wait until it's made an official release?
=-=
-dev is where patches are rolled into that fix bugs.
I don't have any idea how long it will take someone to roll out a full version release. could be tomorrow morning. Could be when enough users test -dev and report back to the module developer in the issue query that the bug has been fixed.
Whether or not you can use it on a site depends on you testing it on a test site and determining for yourself whether it is stable enough to use.
Thanks for all the help
Thank you.
