I've got a couple of problems with my drupal installation that appear to be related to damage in the menu system, but I can't figure out how to fix them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Here are the symptoms:
1. A menu item that is "blank" by default: The top-level "acidfree" menu item, when reset to its default state is disabled and blank. I can edit the item and give it a label, but if I click on "reset", it reverts to a blank label.
2. in the "create content" menu:
* in the navigation menu, the "create acidfree media" link is enabled or disabled correctly, based on roles, but in the main "create content" section (i.e., /?q=node/add), it always appears - even if the user does not have the right to use it. Clicking on the "create acidfree media" link in the main section, will give the user an "access denied" error.
* I have two flexinode types, "Event" and "Meeting" - these types NEVER appear in the navigation menu, even though they are enabled. Meanwhile, they appear correctly in the main "create content" section and work correctly there.
So, I seem to be in a state where ?=node/add isn't properly synced with the navigation menu. I've looked at the SQL tables and the modules, but I can't figure out why they don't match. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what has to be fixed?
I have the following modules installed: acidfree, aggregator, flexinode, event and taxonomy_access.
