Devel menu does not show up in admin_menu (php 5.3.x)

What do you mean with "devel menu"?

I'm wondering about this myself. The project page says "Integration with Devel module is available out of the box", but the meaning of this is ambiguous. I see no settings for it at admin/settings/admin_menu, and nothing in the README.txt. Nothing in the settings for Devel either.

kate says:

" In my old setup all of these options appeared under the word "Devel" in the admin_menu."

I was hoping this would be possible with admin menu. Can somebody please elaborate on "Integration with Devel module is available out of the box?"

Thanks.

I've noticed the same problem with version 6.x-1.x-dev and never did figure it out.

- The switch user list appears when hovering over the own username in the administration menu. (if you have are permitted to switch users)

- The menu below the icon contains a link to Devel's variable editor.

- The menu below the icon also contains multiple options to flush caches. Those, however, do not depend on Devel module.

Has it ever been possible to access more of Devels functions in the Administration Menu than in the current version? Like "Execute PHP" etc?

Firstly to clarify: when the original poster said "Devel menu" I believe they were referring to the menu items which appear under the Drupal icon at the left end of the Admin menu, specifically the links that the devel menu adds to the admin menu such as empty cache.

I also experienced this issue on a completely clean install of Drupal 6.16 and admin menu 6.x-1.5

I was also not seeing the Content types in the Content Management part of the Admin Menu.

I finally narrowed it down to the version of PHP I was running. When I switched from 5.3.2 to 5.2.13 (thankfully MAMP comes with both) all my problems went away. :)

Hope this helps!

Having the same problem. I always had the variable editor in the left hand side of the admin_menu but it's now gone missing.

I haven't changed anything to my PHP version though, and it always used to work fine.

It's a Php 5.3x issue, using the reference as a function parameter to admin_menu_admin_menu().
Go to the function in admin_menu.inc and change the parameter from (&$deleted) to ($deleted = array()).
Then empty cache, rebuild, etc and you should have the drop down again.

Alternative to hacking module: (themeing & jQuery)
Enable the Devel block for your theme.
Edit your themes .info to include a javascript file, ie for Zen:
scripts[] = js/devel-menu.js

Create the js file with the following code:

$(document).ready(function() {
  if (Drupal.settings.admin_menu) {
    $('#admin-menu > ul').append('<li id="devel-menu"><a href="/admin/settings/devel">Development</a></li>');
    $('#block-menu-devel .content ul.menu').appendTo('#admin-menu > ul > li#devel-menu');
    $('#admin-menu > ul > li#devel-menu ul.menu').removeClass('menu');
  }
});

Add this to the themes style.css file.

#block-menu-devel {
  display: none;
}

Rebuild theme, clear caches, etc and now the Development block menu will be moved to your admin bar. :)

Update to a recent version of admin_menu 6.x-1.x. This was resolved with #615058: Parameter 1 to admin_menu_admin_menu() expected to be a reference. This issue was wrongly opened for a different reason from the original request after reaching closed status, so marking back as fixed.
