need to restore default menu behavior/layout

[jmcgin51]

Ok, I'm now running 1.02, upgraded from .13.  My default bullet menu was working fine in .13, but somehow in the upgrade, it got screwed up (see http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 172.0.html).  I've been working on this on and off for weeks, with no solution.

How can I restore the default menu layout/format/whatever??  I've copied default stylesheets from a fresh .13 install, copied default templates, and still the menu doesn't work right.  What am I missing?  Where is the menu behavior controlled?  I'm a complete dunce when it comes to the Menu Manager, so if there's something I need to do there, please be specific.

I did not attempt to alter the default menu structure or behavior when I was running .13, so it appears that the 1.02 update must have been where the problem occurred, but I wouldn't think I'd be the only one with this issue.

Many thanks...

Not sure which bullet menu you used so here is both...

You will need to copy these into a new menu template and call it in your tag...

standard

{* CSS classes used in this template:
.currentpage - The active/current page
.bullet_sectionheader - To style section header
hr.separator - To style the ruler for the separator *}
{if $count > 0}

{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}

{elseif $node->index > 0}
{/if}

{if $node->current == true}
url}" class="currentpage"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}
{elseif $node->type == 'sectionheader'}
{$node->menutext}
{elseif $node->type == 'separator'}

{else}
url}"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}{/if}
{/foreach}

{repeat string="" times=$node->depth-1}

{/if}

accessible...

{* CSS classes used in this template:
.activeparent - The top level parent when a child is the active/current page
li.active0n h3 - n is the depth/level of the node. To style the active page for each level separately. The active page is not clickable.
.clearfix - Used for the unclickable h3 to use the entire width of the li, just like the anchors. See the Tools stylesheet in the default CMSMS installation.
li.sectionheader h3 - To style section header
li.separator - To style the ruler for the separator *}
{if $count > 0}

{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}

{repeat string="" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}

thanks, Mark.  Hopefully this will work...  talk about frustrating!

MARK, YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

Now, here's my question.  If I don't call a specific menu template in my page template, what menu template does the page template use?  How can I edit that default template??

Right now I have the page looking good, thanks to your help.  BUT, I had to create a new menu template and call it in my page template, as you suggested.  What I want to do is edit (overwrite) the original default menu template with the code you provided, so that I can remove the "special" menu template call.  How can I access that default template?

[Dr.CSS]

The default for {menu}, without a template call "template="***"",,,  is the simple_navigation.tpl it is in the Menu Manager folder in templates  /modules/MenuManager/templates/
if you FTP to your site you can overwrite it...

You have a backup on your computer in the CMSMS folder that you uploaded to your site from, so if anything goes wrong you can reupload that file...
