hi,
i'm under deadline pressure. i am trying to get the menu system going for a site. At the top of the menu there should be images. This is a drop-down menu. Below the main categories are sub-categories. As the user chooses a main category the sub-categories appear.
unfortunately, i can't get 'nice menus' to install. I have tried three or four times now. Each time i install it and then visit the /admin page, I get everyone's favorite error message, "You do not have any administrative items." When i recover the database from before adding 'nice-menus', the /admin page is fine.
i've looked over the database entries for the post-nice-menus database and the one before it was enabled. I saw a couple of differences. For example, when i first ran this query on the database with 'nice menus':
SELECT *
FROM menu_links
WHERE link_path = 'admin'
AND module = 'system'
LIMIT 0 , 30
--I get a single record. In the corrupted (i.e., post-nice-menus) database, the 'router-path' field was set to empy string for the corrupted database. I set that value to 'admin' to match the pre-corrupted database. It didn't change anything; the same "do not have administrative options" message appears at /admin.
It seems that i have several options. I can:
1. keep on trying to get 'nice menus' to install.
