I'm using milky way template. For some reason my top menu bar does not appear. I looked everywhere for a way to activate it, but no luck. I would think these links should appear automatically when you set up your main menu.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
G

What browser are you viewing this with? What does your index.php file look like in the top folder of the template?

/home/content/g/l/o/globaldental/html/store/templates/rhuk_milkyway/index.php

Try creating a new menu named topmenu, and add menu items for it by choosing:

Menus > Top Menu > New

I tried this already, but it shows the menu as text links just below the "pill" navigation bar, which is where I want the links to be...

In your index.php does the code look like this for displaying the menu?

Code:
<div id="pillmenu">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" />
</div>


What I'm seeing right now is this:
Code:
<div id="pillmenu">

</div>


Your website is displaying the left and right border images of your pillmenu, just not the links, and I'm not seeing the pillmenu links in any other part of the frontpage either.

That's correct - left and right (beginning and end) of the pills is displayed, but not the links in the middle... When I login as Admin and go to Template HTML editor, this is the code I see for the pill menu:

<td class="pill_l">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="pill_m">
<div id="pillmenu">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" />
</div>
</td>
<td class="pill_r">&nbsp;</td>

That's a mystery... Why do I see the full code in the HTML Editor, but not on the actual site...? I'm afraid to mess around with uploading the code through MS Frontpage.

How would you suggest I fix this?

Sorry, as you can tell I'm a novice...

The quickest way would probably be to do a Joomla! 1.5.7 re-install. Just be sure to include the sample data for the database to be on the safe side.

HI ALL ....
Now a days i am not having good luck as getting so many bugs with joomla.Its from the day when i planned to install joomla on go daddy.
Actually now i am getting the problem in the hyper linking of the top menu items in the RukhMilky Template.
Actually this is very strange thing that i have ever seen.
The first 2 items of the top menu in my site is not showing the hyperlink when i take mouse-over.
but after wondering i came to know linking is there but its shown only when i take my mouse at the bottom of the 2 menus.Its very bad as somebody coming at my site and looking where the link is.
so if somebody know the solution to this problem.please let me know

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I had the same issue. This is how I fixed it. It was very simple:

First create your Top Menu
1) Go to Menu Manager
2) Click New
3) Put in Unique Identifier (doesn't matter name): topmenu
Title: Top Menu
Description: Top Menu
Module Title: topmenu (you MUST put a module title)
4) Click Save

After menu is created
1) Go to Extensions > Module Manager
2) Find Top Menu module (if you can't find - check pages 1 or 2 or 3 ...)
3) Change position to "user3"
4) Save

You should be good to go, check your page. Pleae remember different templates may use different positions.

I hope this helps.

Sorry, this doesn't work for me.
What shall I do with the existing "Top Menu" on position "user3"?
For the new created Top Menu module I tried position "user3" and "topmenu" - nothing works.
This is all very confusing!

I had the same problem in a different template after deleting the top menu (I'm not very decisive...) Cleaning the cache (tools>clean cache) made the menu reappear below the top bar but it refused to go into the top bar, though I was sure that it should be in user3 position.

For some strange reason, restoring old top menu items from the menu trash fixed my top menu. The old items didn't reappear, but the top menu is back!!!

The default Milky Way template use the use3 position for its topmenu, so be sure to check the top menu position is use3. However, other template may use different position for the top menu, you may test the different position for result.

Thank you! Finally managed to get the top menu going by following your advice - however!

:( It does only show on the frontpage/homepage. When clicking on the menu opening the article page no top menu is visible on the article page.

??? How do I make my menu visible on all other pages as well?

Also I have two long "blocks" on top of each page reading

Welcome to the Front Page

and the block below

Hemsida

??? How do I get rid of these blocks???

Hoping for HELP!!!

For this case the easiest way would be to go your template folder and delet the index.php file then upload a new one from another joomla download. because it seem there is already something that is messed up.

Hi All
I have successfully managed to install joomla.
But when ever I install new templates I can't see menus or modules associated with the template.
Even in the Joomla default template I can only see the banner and Home Menu but nothing like what is it in demo. Can I anyone direct me to the right direction.

Its normal joomla instalation comes in two ways the one with demo contents and the blank one which does not have demo content.

in this case you still have to login to yoursit.com/administrator and use the login details that you used while instaling joomla to gain access.

after you are in go to menus and click on main menu and start creating your own menu. or check this http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_a_new_menu_item
