I am working with 'Node form columns 7.x-1.x-dev (2011-Feb-25)' & 'Menu attributes 7.x-1.x-dev (2011-Feb-25)' -- http://drupal.org/project/menu_attributes.

After updating and installing a few modules, there occurs a display of 'Menu item attributes' on 'admin/structure/types/manage/foo-nodetype/form', suddenly from nowhere! From my point of view, this display should not happen.

On top of that, when I try to hide this attribute [for node creation purposes], it still shows up. Related issue here: #1024830: Body field still displays when Hide selected.

... I tried to reproduce this strange occurence with/in a lightweight Drupal7 test site: Everything works fine there. In a second step I added the new modules, one by one: Even then everything worked fine.

How is this possible? I am clueless. Anyone out there with a bright explanation? Thanks.

Got the same issue. This appeared on node types where I disabled all "Available menus" in admin/structure/types/manage/foo-nodetype. After enabling at least one menu the 'Menu item attributes' was not shown in 'admin/structure/types/manage/foo-nodetype/form' and everything was working.

This could maybe be handled in menu_attributes with either "nodeformcols_pre_form" or "nodeformcols_post_form" alter hooks. But in fact i don't see why both module should have to care about the other.

edit: thinking about it, menu_attributes should check before altering the form that there is a menu available. This should fix the issue.

I created the issue #1128510: Menu attributes displayed even if all menus are disabled for a content type in menu_attributes since the fix may come from there

Menu attributes only adds elements inside of $form['menu'] if the $form['menu'] element exists - which it does not when there are no menus available for a content type. So I don't see how there's any problem from the menu_attributes side of the code.

I wanted to reproduce again this issue with the latest version of both modules. I first tested on a clean install and the issue is fixed. I then also updated the modules on another website and the issue was also no longer visible. So for me this issue can be closed.

the_phi: can you try to update the modules on the site where you have this issue and confirm it's fixed?

... on this specific site both of the modules were deinstalled weeks ago. Sorry, I don't intend to reinstall them.
