Menu links in 4.7.1 do not expand.

I've created some menus, one parent along with a few children. When clicking the parent, it does not display the children. Yet works with all default relationships drupal has by default. Also, I can see the children under the parent.

Currently I have this menu:

Tools (menu)
Saws (menu item / parent)
-Jig saw (menus item / child of saws)

Clicking on the parent does not expand the links.

Is this still an issue?

Though I'm currently running 4.7.3 and can't fully test on my production site, the issue seems to still be present.

I've seen this sort of problem when there are multiple aliases for one or more of the menu items. Is this true in your case?

rewted’s picture

Yes... all menu links are aliased, none of which are the same though.

whats happen to this issue? i have this, too and need a fix.

Let me clarify my comment above- I think the problem actually occured when mutiple menu items (not aliases) link to the same page. However, I'm not seeing it now using on 4.7.3. Have you tried making a test site and upgrading to 4.7.3?

i am using 4.7.3... this occour on a test and a live site with aliases. without aliases it do not occour - BUT this don't help anything. i don't like to use such bad URLs like node/12 and node/13. URLs must be self speeking... and a tree structure must looks like

example
example/level1-a
example/level1-b
example/level1-b/level2-a
example/level1-b/level2-b

and so on...

Just to verify that I've got the same problem here. I've followed Lisa's instructions on how to create multilingual menus (http://drupal.org/node/65182#comment-125220). This all works fine. Now the only issue is the menus not expanding when using url aliases.

It may well be that there are more underlying problems with the menuing system as a whole.

Example:- http://drupal.org/node/72674

hi

i found a solution yesterday, this problem is therefor solvable... but it's a bug. You only need to change your workflow and a minor thing in the menu items.

  1. create a page with URL Alias example and a menu item in the navigation
  2. if you save the page, Drupal will automaticaly create the menu point for this page with a path node/12345
  3. the not self speeking path node/12345 is dynamically overwritten by drupal on page load with the URL alias example
  4. after this step you are able to create the same menu item in the primary menu. as path use node/12345 and do NOT use example!

if you have older and existing menu items and you are trying to simply change the priior created url alias in the menus from "example" to node/12345 this may not work! i have deleted all my menu items an recreated them automaticaly from drupal, by recreating every existing menu item in the edit node pages.

Version: 4.7.1 » 5.x-dev

Confirmed. Still happening.
Anyway, it was said that a new menu system is under development...

Version: 5.x-dev » 4.7.4

The solution by marc.bau does not work for me, unfortunately.
I have two menu blocks. They differ in the way that in one menu block, I have more submenu items. One menu block is called when the user is logged in, the other when not.

Menu Block A
Menu Item CC
Submenu Item DD

Menu Block B
Menu Item CC
Submenu Item DD
Menu Item EE
Menu Item FF

I created a content page with a url alias (activities/cds) and let Drupal generating the Menu Item CC in the first block (with path node/42). The same for Submenu Item DD (with path node/44).
The menu worked fine, expanding worked as expected.

But then I created those two items in the 2nd menu block. (With node/42 and node/44 as urls). Here, the submenu does never expand.

I'd really appreciate it to get some hints!

This version is not supported. Reopen or create a new issue if the problem exists in any recent version (version equal or above Drupal 5)

Considering the lack of activity on this issue and that Drupal v5 is no longer supported by fixes or patches, I am going to close this ticket. If this issue still exists and you want to continue to ask for technical support from the community, please reopen and update this ticket.
