I enabled the buddylist menu and assigned proper permissions to the user roles. Then I wanted "my buddylist" to appear somewhere else in the "navigation", so I went to mysite.com/admin/menu, where not only I could not find the menu entry for "my buddylist", but also "my buddylist had disappeared from the navigation block.

When I go up one level to mysite.com/admin I see "my buddylist" again in navigation.

The only entry related to "buddylist" on mysite.com/admin/menu points to mysite.com/admin/settings/buddylist.

The module seems to work fine, I added a user to my buddylist and he showed up on my user page; also I showed up on his user page. There are no errors reported in the drupal log.

Is there something I overlooked? How do edit the menu item of the buddylist module?

Hi there, I'm looking into this problem, though I can't reproduce it. When you are administering the menus are you logged in as the first user? I have a feeling that this is a weird permissions problem.

No am not logged as the first user. I use an account that has every available permission enabled. As soon as I go to admin/menu, "my buddylist" disappears from the navigation menu.

However, this also happens when I am logged in as the first user, as I just found out.

I can't even reset the menu item because it is not shown anywhere in mysite.com/admin/menu. Is there something I should try?

You can "manually" reset the buddylist item by deleting it's settings in the 'menu' table. Open up your favorite SQL tool and find the row with 'path' = buddylist. Delete that row. That's the same as reseting the menu. See if that helps.

I just ran into your problem head-on while working on updates to buddylist. I tried my own solution above (which didn't work btw), but I believe I've discovered where this problem originates and should have a patch soon. Hang in there.

Try the patch/module available at http://drupal.org/node/56697, which hopefully corrects this behavior also.

I replaced the old version of the module with http://drupal.org/files/issues/buddylist_3.module. And lo and behold! the item no longer disappears :-)

I am setting this to "fixed" this now, for it seems fixed. thank you for your support!
