top navigation section doesn't appear

I have the same issue, but even without the role name changing. I have no problems with User-1, but I don't see the top navigation when I login with a user with another (editor) role.

I tried it with a role called 'site-administrator' which has all the permissions enabled that are available and the icons still didn't show up.

Swamped with work at the moment :(
Will try to have a look later today but can't guarantee,

if anyone else can check I will be very grateful

I've been getting this as well. Also it seems like other things disappear like when you select "Menus" it just lists the menus but the bar to add/edit etc is gone.

Yeah me too. My User-1 user can see the buttons across the top, but other users with access to parts of the admin area cannot see any buttons.

This is in both the latest official release and the dev release

was anyone of you upgrading?

ok I can replicate that... :s
still investigating

ok, so I have found the problem, attached is the patch if anyone wants to try against theirs v1.2 (which would be great if you can test it and report back)
and committed to dev version

thanks for reporting and please review and test thank you

I tried the dev version and no changes. Maybe I updated wrong. I just threw the old rootcandy out and put the new one in. But I guess that's the way to do it with themes, isn't it.

@Danny_Joris if you visit theme settings, and expand the Menu by role, can you see all your user roles including authenticated user + anonymous user?

Oh, is that new? Yes I see it and it works! Thanks very much!

Maybe an idea: Is it possible to give the Top Navigation menu different classes? For example if one of the menu items is empty because the user doesn't have permissions related to this, then maybe we could tuck that item away with css. Or only the basic ones, because I guess the items are generated and it might be difficult to give them custom classes.

Anyway, looks great already.
Thanks again.
Danny

Just committed one line to dev version which adds class to top menu list so it can look like:

<ul class="i24">
  <li class="admin"><a></a></li>
  <li class="admin-build"><a></a></li>
  <li class="admin-content"><a></a></li>
  <li class="admin-content-node"><a></a></li>
  <li class="node-add"><a></a></li>
</ul>

btw, not sure why would you want to hide one menu item, can you explain please? if the user doesnt have access to it, it won't show up.

Just re-read your post, when they dont have access to it, does it show an empty <li></li>?

Hey Sign,

I have this test user that does not have any permissions for User-Management. The reason why classes would come in handy is to remove that button that is still there. (see attachment)

btw: if you add something to the dev, can I already download that version or do I have to wait a few hours?

Thanks!

ah I see, well, probably it will be best to create your own custom menu for that user role?
it is simple, create a new menu, add menu items you would like to have there for that user, it can be any path in drupal, and then in theme settings, assign that menu to the user role of that user, thats how I would do it actually :)

re dev: you have to wait few hours or you can check it out from cvs, there are cvs instructions on rootcandy project page ( or follow this link: http://drupal.org/node/210180/cvs-instructions/DRUPAL-6--1 )

let me know if custom menu per user role will solve what you want to achieve

marking this as fixed, reviewed and tested on clean install, even on upgrade
should be ok now

I have an additional admin user set up (with all appropriate permissions), but I don't see the top nav section in RootCandy Dark (5.x-1.3). As far as I can tell, my code has all the + stuff in the patch referenced in this thread, but it's not showing for me.

In the theme settings page, when I expand Menu by role, it shows my "administrator" role - which I have set to use "default navigation".

Anything else I need to do/check?

I had the same problem w/ icons not showing up. I had a 3 extra roles besides authenticated and anonymous. Thought that this was the problem, so I removed user from all by one, and still no icons.

I then set the additional "admin" role I created to # 1 in the order in the "Menu by role and weights" section, so that my admin role was # 1, above anonymous and authenticated. Once I did this the icons showed up. I've attached a screen shot showing my settings.

I am using the newest release (not -dev).

Thanks for a great admin theme btw. It's awesome. Great work!!

I can confirm that you have to put the role in the section above the authenticated role, otherwise their are no icons shown.

HTH,

Agree with #19 commenter, placing role above authenticated role was the solution.
