how to access to Menu-managers 'rebuild menu' button?

[carsten888]

I'm trying to give a manager access to the Menu-managers 'rebuild menu' button. They get access to the menu-manager, but can't see the button, even if all access is given to the manager group.

I think they need to be a super user in order to do that. This is the condition from the categories view:

Code: Select all

if ($canDo->get('core.admin'))
{
	JToolbarHelper::custom('categories.rebuild', 'refresh.png', 'refresh_f2.png', 'JTOOLBAR_REBUILD', false);
}

core.admin technically means those with super user access.

Ooooh, thats a shame. Also managers are quite capable of messing up a menu

I guess I have to write my own little component, which managers have access to, to call that function so managers won't call me at night to press that button whenever the menu goes crazy again.

If your menu is "going crazy" every now and then, then this means that there is some data corruption somewhere in the #__menu table. Rebuilding the menu in the cron is not the solution, as sometimes rebuilding the menu can cause a mess.

Yes. I suspect that during a migration something in #__menu gone corrupt. But if Joomla's own 'rebuild menu' functionality can't fix it, I have no idea of how to fix that. Given up on that looooong time ago. Hoping that with a migration/update, one day, all of a sudden, it will all be fixed.
