Javascript Top Menu disappeared in 1.5.6
Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2008 11:43 am
After upgrading from Joomla 1.5.3 to 1.5.6 all top menus disappeared.
I reviewed all related posts and -
a. tried Jenny's css fixes for the green and blue headers, posted July 17
b. tried 'instance' css overhaul, posted August 16
all without success. Everything but the top menu seems to be working.
Before the upgrade I saved the ja_purity files, v1.1.3. If I activate the 'old', saved template, the menu appears again.
Jenny's locked post in this forum from July 18, points to replacement files (see above) but states they will make it into J1.5.5. I installed 1.5.6 but still can't get menu's, with or without the replacement files.
The ja_purity included in Joomla 1.5.6 announces itself to be version 1.2.0. The date is still 26-Dec-2007, which is probably the date it was put into the contest. This date should probably be updated for new versions.
I reviewed both the original, J1.5.6, css files and the overhault files from 'instance'. The naming has changed quite extensively.
I also reviewed the thread 'Purity from SVN has no top menu?'. Looks like my exact problem but again, this thread is about an older version and has different advice how to correct, some of it in conflict with the above advice.
Can somebody make some order in this, please. I'm at loss which version made it into Joomla 1.5.6 and which fixes should be applied to make the top menus work.
I would also be willing to work on the css files but am not sure which ones to use, the original ones or 'instance'. I don't want to invest a lot of time and then see a new, rewritten version of ja_purity appear in J1.5.7.
Thanks for any help,
Michael
