When I go into Admin/siteconfiguration several of the enabled modules are not present. I am talking about modules like FCKEditor, which has a configuration form.

This is not the first time I've experienced these kinds of anomalies. I can probably fix this by reinstallation of the FCKeditor, however the reason I mention this is because frequently modules that are enabled may or may not have a siteconfiguration form. The problem is... when first enabling a module you may not know if it has a siteconfiguration form or not, when it doesn't shop up in site configuration.

Basically what I am asking. Is there away to reindex the site configuration or someway to assure all modules that have a siteconfiguration forms are visible?

I have tried running the update and it frequently doesn't work. The cache can be a problem in some cases, but I've learned to disable all cache when working on my sites. I still clear cache frequently, even though no cache is set. I also do ctrl+F5 to make sure ram is cleared as well.

Any hints, suggestions would be appreciated.

There's some sort of MAJOR BUG with the menus since at least Drupal 4.x that may easily cause entry duplication, reparenting, and whatnot, especially if you've upgraded version numbers, and sadly there seems no easy way to "rebuild" nav menus (like with admin_menu).

If you have menu dupes, you'll likely just have to go into your Drupal database manually, like with phpMyAdmin, and manually drop all the duplicate menu entries. You should only have to do this once and will feel tons better afterward, believe me. (Backup your database first!)

Otherwise you may just need to reparent such entries as the FCKeditor config with its admin parent for it to show up properly globally in Drupal. If it keeps happening, like when you run update.php, see the paragraph above.

This has been my personal experience anyway with my two Drupal sites, and they are running great now.

Thanks for your reply Scott

I reinstalled the FCKEditor and it still doesn't show up in the siteconfiguration menu.

Ran the check and repair of MYSQL as well.

----------------

Still no go. I've got close to 200 articles in my blog that are just one huge paragraph in each blog.

I realize I can probably go back into each blog article and use HTML unfiltered and poke in break tag to create the paragraph breaks.

That will take hours of work and then there is no guarantee they'll stay fixed.

I've gotta be able to configure the FCKeditor some way to correct this.

When I click on admin/siteconfiguration there are mission modules that are enabled in admin/modules

I cannot work with those modules to configure them, including OpenCalias, FCKEditor and several others.

I'm not sure what screwed the pooch, but there has to be some way to rebuild this. These admin/siteconfiguration items are not showing up in the regular admin interface or the admin module interface.

I've got a blog site I'm going to have to rebuild soon, if I can't repair it. YUK!

Still got the problem of having the module configurations not showing up in site configurations so that I can work with them.

Sure could use some hints or tweaks on fixing this. This is a content rich site that will take alot of time to rebuild.

--------------------------

Maybe I should be asking for a link or information that will help me rebuild the site competently. I've got only blog articles with embedded (linked to youtube,etc) videos on the site.

I have a bunch of modules enabled, which is probably the basic problem. Something isn't working quite right, or there maybe some conflicts I cannot find.

Regardless, content continues to be added to the site by bloggers and comments, and I cannot configure many of the modules for any kind of changes, including FCKeditor,OpenCalais,etc.

Thanks
