Hello,

I am currently developping a new site with Drupal 6.4 and Zen theme (Zen 6.x-1.0-beta2) and have the following issue (I'm looking to find a solution since hours...)
The "Primary links" menu only shows up for authenticated users. And when I loggout the menu is gone.

I've tried everything to turn off/on from "Permissions" to "Blocks Menu Editing", even in the Themes section
(turn on/off Primary links") etc.

I tried also to move the menu from the left sidebar to the right sidebar....but exactly the same behavior.

If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Gilles

Hit the link to configure the Primary links block - there you can set which roles can see the block.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried that too to configure the block with Anonymous and Authenticated User checkboxes turned on, but still same problem.

Role specific visibility settings
Show block for specific roles:
x anonymous user
x authenticated user
Show this block only for the selected role(s). If you select no roles, the block will be visible to all users.

Should work fine with all roles unchecked.

Possibly you have page cacheing turned on and you need to clear the page cache by going to admin -> site config -> performance and hitting "clear cached data".

tried that too (which I forgot to mention) but this too doesn't change anything.
In fact I first thought it was a Zen-theme related problem, but by uploading my old working version of Zen-theme again to the server it has the same issue.

But what is also really strange it's that it only displays (when logged out) the first leaf of the Menu (first element in the list) with the background. But when logged in all Menu elements are displayed....makes me really crazy....
I think it's more a bug of drupal 6.4....

Can you upload a couple of screenshots somewhere ... would make it easier to understand exactly what is going on. Or post a link to the site even.

I had the same problem until I read a separate thread. If a user isn't authorized to see something it won't show up in the menu. In my case, I'm using the Taxonomy List module to display my vocabulary items. Well, I hadn't granted the anonymous user permission to see the Taxonomy List, so of course the menu item wasn't showing up.

Hello, I'm not a complete drupal noob, but I'm no expert. I had all these problems, menu would only show to authenticated users. It was driving me mental!! I've solved this by not putting "node/add" as the top link on the menu - maybe you're doing the same thing? It worked fine for a while, then just went. I put node/add back, it doesnt work, I put in a proper link and it does. What is this node/add doing>?
