Loads of extra menu items (in navigation menu) after upgrade 4.6.6 > 4.7

By Marc Bijl on 8 May 2006 at 22:09 UTC

Just upgraded from 4.6.6 to 4.7 and everything seemed to be fine.

As primary links have been alfabetically rearranged (during the upgrade, I suppose), I decided to place them in the right order again. Doing so, I saw hundreds of extra menu items in the navigations menu, all identified by the one and only word "blogs" and all disabled. Their id's range from about 8 to approximately 600 - or something. They do not harm, as they're all disabled, but I'm wondering what this is good for...

Is it a bug?!?

Looked in my sql backup file of the 4.6.6 database, and it seemed to be wrong in the 4.6.6 version of my site already. But that doesn't mean the cause of this polution is clear to me...

...
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("40","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("41","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("42","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("43","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("44","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("45","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
...
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("330","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("331","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("332","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("333","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("334","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("335","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("336","24","admin/settings/form_mail","form_mail","","0","22");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("337","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("338","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("339","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("340","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
...
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("635","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("636","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("637","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("638","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
INSERT INTO menu VALUES("639","1","blog","blogs","","0","16");
...

Does anyone know where these hundreds of empty / unused menu options come from? As far as I can remember, I haven't seen them in administer > menus of my 4.6.6 site.
