I can't figure out why I cannot specify a menu item for mypanel/me/page

option 1:
on the panel when it asks for menu options, I set to normal, and under the menu that I want
it does not show up although it is in the database as mypanel/%/page which is the panel path

option 2:
don't specify a menu setting
goto menu configuration in admin and create a menu
create
mypanel/me/page
I get an error 'invalid menu path"

Have you been able to create a menu path that does not use the me module? I turned off the me module and tried to create a menu item, and it also was not created.

if you can't, then I'd say the problem is with panels.

The reason you get an error for option 2, is because there is no actual router item for any combination of mypanel/me/page or mypanel/%/page, or mypanel/%/%. The menu module does not let you create menu items that link to arbitrary places, there must be something in drupal registered to handle that path.

Changing to panels because this seems to be a panels issue

Er. If it's a panel problem I don't understand what the problem is. How do you know there isn't a router item? If he can get to the page, then there has to be a router item, right?

There was a problem caused by panels which effected 'me's ability to create a menu item.

Here is what happened.

I created a page, draft, in panels.
I exported and re-entered it as a template for other pages.
I noticed that when I went to the pages created from the draft panel, based on the draft template, the data from one page would appear on another, etc.
I went ahead and deleted the pages and re-created them.
I made sure that menu setting for each new page was set to none.

I then went to the menu and manually inserted
mypage/me/somepage

And it worked.

I simply don't know what happened, but I believe the issue had to do with erroneous pages.

I am marking my original as closed for now.

I'll need to be able to reproduce this to be able to do anything with it.
