Since Drupal's default admin/editor interface leaves a lot to be desired, I find tools like Simplemenu and Administration Menu indispensable for maintaining a Drupal site.

I am not a themer. I am much more comfortable with nested tables than CSS, even though CSS/table-less is the standard moving forward. I just haven't been able to get CSS to work the way I expect it to, and I obviously need to spend time really understanding it, but I don't have that time right now.

I've tried, and I've checked this forum and the Simplemenu/Admin menu forums, and I cannot find any mention of this.

Neither Simplemenu nor Admin Menu seem to work with Pixture or Pixture Reloaded. I've installed and enabled them (not at the same time) and the menus just don't show up. No javascript errors, the .js files are included in the header ... any ideas?

Anyone ever encountered this? I don't seem to have this problem with other basic themes, but Pixture has a layout and look that I don't think I could do with a starter theme since, as I said, I am not a themer.

I want to use Pixture, because of the way it is styled, but it's driving me nuts to use the sidebar for Admin and Development links.

Any tips or links to answers are much appreciated. Thanks.

D'oh. No sooner had I posted this that I found the answer.

page.tpl.php needs this before the closing body tag:

print $closure

So, if anyone else has this issue, try that solution, which I found here: http://drupal.org/node/316108

Admin Menu works fine with both Pixture and Pixture_Reloaded. I don't use Simple Menu. It must be some other conflict with your site, or browser, or ???.

Make sure to try on a new, fresh install of Drupal core. Get that working, then you can work forward with what is causing your site to break.

I actually had updated Drupal core, which made no difference. Possible that the issue has something to do with some custom javascript I'm adding to the pages through a module I'm writing. Still, the closure statement did get admin menu to show up, and it is working. It's just weird that I wasn't having the issue with Garland theme. Still, when I get the time, I plan to delve further into what I did to make these modules misbehave. Thanks for the feedback!
