Hello! I have an image I can send if it will better explain..

So there is a side navigation ABOVE the admin menu.. and I cannot find where the items are chosen to be displayed. When configuring the menu, there's nothing in Primary and it's disabled -- for Navigation there is all of the admin menu items.. nothing else. There's a menu above that and I cannot find where to edit it. Recently (I was told this was just a random accident) one of the menu items dissapeared.. it's a store so the menu options are:

EYES
Paint
HD Loose Paints
Eyelights
Compacts
LIPS
Lumishine Gloss
BODY
Body Shimmer
Paint
HD Loose Paint
TOOLS
ABOUT
GALLERY
SEND INS
NEWS & EVENTS
BANDS
STORE POLICY

HOWEVER:: Kits and Sale Items used to be a main menu item too and it has disappeared -- they said they've changed nothing.. I can find the page is still there... where can I chose to display this again with the above menu items?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for any help you can give. This is stressing me out beyond belief!

First, run update.php (even if there are no updates), go through all the steps and make sure that it completes without errors. That should rebuild the menus.

If that doesn't fix the problem, look for your missing menu items
- in admin/build/menu, in case they are disabled
- in admin/build/blocks, in case they are in a block which is not a menu block

Also think whether the links were in a block generated automatically from some module (views, taxonomy_menu, taxonomyblocks etc).

Ran update.

When I go to edit : http://www.darlamakeup.com/category/darla-product-category/kits-and-sale... it says: taxonomy_term
So does that mean it's defined somewhere else? The link was right in there with the other product links and disappeared-- can't
find where they're defined anywhere!

Probably the simplest solution is to add that menu item again, instead of looking for it forever.

In admin/build/menu find the menu where you want to add that page
"Add item"
- in "Path" write category/darla-product-category/kits-and-sale-items
- in "Title" write Kits and Sale Items
Save.

That's the thing! It's not

That's the thing! It's not defined there -- I think it's defined somewhere else? I have a Product Links category with all of the terms -- however the kits one is not showing and I'm not sure where you can customize it? I can't find the menu at all.

It must be from the category module, Drupal 5 version (http://drupal.org/project/category).

I am not very familiar with the category module. Generally, it has a category_menu submodule, you assign categories and containers and then your items are added automatically to a menu block.

If I am right and you have the category module, you may need to read about it in http://category.greenash.net.au/tutorials, or ask in the module's issues queue (http://drupal.org/project/issues/category) to get the attention of someone who knows it.

** Could anyone here please help me? I'm new to Drupal and I really would like to understand what's going on! **

UPDATES:

Is there a way I can just make this menu not show up and create my own using primary links? I've done this but I have no idea where the menu is located or configured.

If it is not in the menus then in must be in the blocks (admin/build/block).

reply
It's not there --
moonkitten - May 30, 2010 - 20:13
Nope! Just the one I created and the admin navigation!

Primary links
configure
Navigation
configure

Sooo stuck..

Let's confirm a few things:

Do you have the Category module installed? This is a contributed (add-on) module, and not really common one, so unless you added it earlier, chances are that you're not even running this module. Look at the Modules page in Drupal administration to check.

Are the items in question containers, categories, and/or nodes assigned to these categories? Is category_menu module enabled, and menu items maintained for the container (see container node edit for these settings).

Are you really running the old 5.x version of Category module? The 5.x version of category_menu is known to have quite a few bugs, and is not really supported now. (In particular, it tends to remove any manual edits from menu items, while synchronizing them with node edits. Drupal 5 menu system doesn't support better way.)

Your screenshot looks more like core Taxonomy, or something based on that. Category module never speaks about "Terms" ("add term"), it uses "Categories" instead. So unless you run Taxonomy and Category both together (which is possible, but risky and not recommended, and in that case the items in screenshot are not maintained by Category module), you most probably don't have Category module running.

Also on the screenshot, I see the extra menu special theming (red stars). This is most probably no regular/accidental thing, someone likely put a bit of effort into that special menu. Can you ask that person, if there's one, about the origin of that menu?

My guess is, that you're dealing with some other and/or custom module based on Taxonomy. It doesn't look like Category stuff to me, but there's not much reliable information here.
