Extra <ul> in bulletmenu and site map

[psy]

I'm sure it must be something in the site structure as the bulletmenu and sitemap plugins give the same result - an extra unordered list tag... ie:

Code: Select all

<div class="bulletmenu">

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=about">About Us</a></ul>
<div class="sectionheader">Services</div>
<ul>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Agistment">Agistment</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Breeding">Breeding</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Tuition">Tuition</a></ul>
<div class="sectionheader">For Sale</div>

<ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Horses">Horses</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Shanghai">Karingal Shanghai</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Supplies">Supplies</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Links">Links</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.karingalequestrian.com.au/index.php?page=Contact">Contact</a></li></ul></div>

after the "Services" section header.  This throws out the list menu display.

Actually looking at it more closely I notice that there are also several list items missing the closing list item tag, ie

Code: Select all

</li>

This can't be right, surely.  Any ideas how to fix?
Thx

Was there not an answer for this?

I took a peek at the template files and the programming and logic are beyond my expertise to fix without risking breaking things worse.

While this is not a biggie function-wise, it does add an extra menu item with no content in it.

Bulletmenu has been deprecated since like 2005.... therefore it's not a bug.  People haven't reported this issue in Sitemap in the last year or two so it must be fixed.

Are you using section header as container for some pages and then "start_level=2"?
This could confuse even current menu templates.

Hmm, it appears to have been a separator that I had played with when I first installed CMSMS. With the Andreas03 template the separator looks like an empty menu item rather than a bar. Guess I'll have to play with that style some before using it.

I've used CMS-type software before to build 2 directories, but this one is so very different in the way it does things. Please bear with my newbie questions.

Hi

I posted the original question 12mths ago and as the first response came 2mths later, I must have fixed it myself.  However it was so long ago I don't remember what I did!

Anyway, thanks for advising that the bulletmenu plugin is deprecrated even though it still ships with the core application - I guess that's for backward compatibility.  I wasn't aware that I shouldn't be using it and have it in nearly all my CMSMS sites.  I will upgrade them to {sitemap}.

Cheers

the function.bulletmenu.php that ships with 1.3 onward is just an 'empty' php file; just there to, in effect, delete an existing file on upgrades...  and i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but currently {sitemap} is on the chopping block as well.....
