Hey I'm new to Joomla and i'm running Apache 2.2 with MySQL 5.4 and PHP 5.3.0 (all installed seperately but are working together). I've downloaded and "installed" Joomla 1.5.14 and I've spent the last few days trying to understand and use the back-end interface. It seems pretty straightforward except that I can't get any "new" menu items to appear in the menu item manager. I see them in the Module Manager but I don't see them in the Menu Manager?

Any advice? Suggestions?

ok - this is a bit complicated and you may be going askew somewhere.

think like this -menu manager will create the container to hold your menu items.
try reading these 2 bits
http://docs.joomla.org/Menu_Manager_Screenshots
and http://docs.joomla.org/Screen.menumanag ... escription

I understand all of that. The issue is after creating the "container" and creating menu items for the "container", I cannot see the menu items in the menu item manager for the "container".

In the module manager, I can see the "container" as well as its associated menu item (the published ones anyways) so I know the menu items are being created.

The issue is that I cannot edit them because they don't appear in the menu item manager.

Thoughts?

screen shot time i believe.. so we can see what you have done..
screenshots of
menu manager,
menu drop down, and module positions filtered by new menuname

also a URL to test would be great

I attached a few screen shots. In the Module shot you can see the menu item under my test menu's alias but you don't see it in the menu item manager. I created two items of which I published one. The published one is the one that appears in the module.

Thoughts?

check the access level as shown in this screen shot, that seems to be missing from your module. agreed mine is unpublished but you see the point

would it not have been easier to just adapt one of the existing menus structures?

The access level is missing... There is only a blank spot in its place. I really want to be able to customize my site as much as possible so thats why i'm trying to create my own menus...

Any other thoughts?

Just as a quick note, you can see that there is no access level box in the module screenshot I uploaded.

Could it possibly be something with the way I installed MySQL or PHP or the Apache Server itself? I installed each component seperately instead of using XAMPP or WAMP....

Thoughts?

I have read in some of the posts that PHP 5.3.0 is not recommended. Try to use PHP 5.2.8 or 5.2.9 and test it out.

I had this problem as well - as soon as I installed the lower version of PHP it worked perfectly - it was bizzare, I could see the menu items in the database, when I looked on menu manager they were there, but none of the menus were appearing!

Here is the URL to download the other PHP version: http://www.wampserver.com/en/addons_php.php

Thanks for the solution, much appreciated :)

Thanks so much for writing about this problem!!

I had the same problem with my Joomla 1.5.14, where I added menu items but could not see them the Menu Item Manager. As suggested, after I uninstalled PHP 5.3.0 and installed PHP 5.2.9, I could see the menu items I'd created in my new main menu!

In my case, the website is hosted at WestHost, where I went to site applications -> install & manage, and uninstalled PHP 5.3.0, then installed PHP 5.2.9.

Thanks again,
Carol

THANK YOU!!!! I upgraded MAMP on OS X and suddenly my menu items wouldn't appear. Checked the MySQL db and all the items were still there, but couldn't figure out why they wouldn't show up. Switched things to PHP 5.2 inside MAMP and it worked perfectly! I've been pulling my hair out over this issue, thank you!

It's in MAMP Preferences.

My menu items are not working on the localhost but they are working on the remote host. This has not been the case using PHP 5.3 on previous sites. The variable seemed to be virtuemart but apparently not.

I'm testing virtuemart on localhost using MAMP with PHP 5.3 and my menu items are missing.


I've been trying to figure this out all day. One click to PHP 5.2 and I'm moving on..

thanks for the thread.
