Menu not being displayed anymore...Weird - Help...[SOLVED]

[n20capri]

So I'm working on creating 2 menu's.  Horizontal and Vertical...with DIFFERENT links.

Well after searching I figured out how to make the vertical menu come alive.  I created a new "page" with "Show In Menu" NOT selected.  This new page has several child pages that will be displayed in my new vertical menu.

Then I use the following code to display this new vertical menu where I want...
{cms_module module='menumanager' start_element="10"}

When I got everything together it worked great.  Looks awesome.  I was VERY happy. 

Well now all of a sudden it's not showing up.  No errors or anything just not being displayed...HOWEVER, when I disable CSS using firebug it's there...it's got an extra bulleted item that's blank but it's there...also, when I "View Page Source" it's there.  It doesn't appear to be a font color issue either because I changed background colors and "select all" on the page and it's still not showing.

I was fiddling with templates and CSS but not sure what I might have done...Just seems like it disappeared.

My brain is hurting right now and I can't figure it out...I know it's something stupid too...

Any insight?
Thanks,
Mike

First off, line 43 - 45...




You are using a menu template that has an ID on the UL which is throwing an error...

Most likely it is a css thing where you have the a link using white...

[n20capri]

Yeah I've explored that avenue...that error is for the top menu which I know isn't right yet.  I've removed the code for the top menu and still no side menu.

Not sure it's a color issue as I've changed colors and still no menu...

Like I said it WAS showing then all of a sudden gone...

Also, the current template has fixed size vertical link areas (Main Menu and Resources) but the template I WAS using built that area as more links are added and when it's enabled the menu area is real small - like nothing is there...so I know it's not a color issue.

For the side menu I would use just {menu} tag as it seems it's getting an UL below the regular primary-nav UL and the css says #primary-nav ul display:none, how are you calling it menu tag wise?...

Put the other one in so I see what you mean...

[n20capri]

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='menumanager' start_element="10"}

That should be displaying my side menu!  It was working when I first implemented it...no specified template...which might be the problem...what would it normally be calling when nothing is specified?  When fiddling around maybe I deleted what it was originally calling...

Other template (NCleanBlue) has been swapped in...side menu being called the same way.  You can see how small they are...so I know nothing is there...although it IS there...lol

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='menumanager' start_element="10"}

and

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='menumanager' start_element="11"}

for the resources menu...

Thanks for the help!

I also made sure 10 and 11 are correct items i want to start with...

[Dr.CSS]

You must have the cssmenu_ulshadow.tpl set as default in menu manager which means when you call a {menu} that is the one used, this is what leads me to think this...

You have in the top menu and the side menu says this...

And as I said before because the CSS has ul#primary-nav ul {display:none} you wont see the side menu...

You may want to use the childrenof= parameter as the one you are using is giving you the extra UL from the page above it...

What does your page structure look like in content > pages?...

[n20capri]

Weird thing is I didn't change anything (that I know of) because it was working nicely...lol

Trying to figure out what I did with the templates or the CSS to cause this...

Page Structure...

[Dr.CSS]

Most likely you have the "main menu" page set to not show in the menu, which causes the menu UL LI to exclude it and start with a UL, so it would be {menu childrenof='main-menu} hopefully your menu manager says simple_navigation.tpl (read only)  {menu} with a green check under default...

[n20capri]

Well simple_navigation.tpl (read only)  {menu} was NOT the default menu and that was the problem.  It's fine now.  I guess I was fiddling and I changed the default.  I knew I did something in there just couldn't figure out what it was.

Much appreciated.  I knew it was going to be something silly.

Loading good just have to format the CSS to fill the space.

Now I just have to get rid of the bullets in the horizontal menu and get the rest of the CSS in line...

Thanks again,
