Whenever I try to add a menu link context, I get a wordy AJAX error. Seems something's wrong with the query it's trying to use? I'm not too sure as my expertise lies in CSS stuff and this is a bit beyond me, so any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

This is our own server so if there is a server configuration or something that is required we should be able to do it, as of now I'm not sure where it's going wrong. The configuration is almost completely default, with a couple extra modules that shouldn't really be related I don't think.

Here is the error (which comes via popup box a few seconds after typing anything at all in the auto-complete field.

An AJAX HTTP error occurred.

Well that's ugly. The error is in CTools.

Ah, should have noticed that, my bad.

Any troubleshooting steps you could recommend?

My best guess is that maybe that's a piece of code that was not properly updated from D7, OR a change to D7 table structure broke the code. Would need to check the query being run and see what's going on there. It's menu system so the difficulty of debugging it is probably quadrupled.

That isn't the query shown in the error? How can I get it? Would I be better off just re-downloading CTools or something

Hey I'm sorry to have bugged you! I found the problem, some of my modules were corrupt including CTools and I'm pretty sure re-installing is going to fix this, thanks for your assistance and my apologies for not noticing before I bugged you!

Well again my apologies for a premature decision but evidently that was not the only problem as this is still occurring.

I just pulled up the logs that are generated. 2 are created whenever this error occurs.

@merlinofchaos : he's trying to add a menu link context, however, menu / menu links aren't entities in core, so this never ever can work at all.
Note, competely untested, just looked at the code of ctools_content_autocomplete_entity().

...there's a menu link context?!

Is this something that's happening because of fago's entity module?

Dont' think so, there 's only one content type plugin in the entity module.

@TelFiRE
could you post the list of modules that you're using ?

CTools tries to make all entities available as context.

But entity module makes a bunch of pseudo entities that aren't really entities. That's why I'm curious about menu links being available as a context.

Maybe I don't understand how it's supposed to work and that's my problem.... Because I haven't really been able to build anything useful, even after realizing this was an Ajax-only thing and it actually still accepts proper values.

I'm not sure it's possible to do anything useful with "menu link context". Because it's not a real entity.

This is now fixed with http://drupalcode.org/project/xmlsitemap.git/commit/3b71672 and should no longer cause a 500 error in CTools.

Does this need ported to D6?

Nope, this isn't needed to backport to D6, plus the linked issue seems to be triggered not by CTools (as well as needs more info).
