Admin Menu

[IAINMCG]

Hi,

Just a quick question. When I login to the admin of my site, I have the menus horizontally along the top. I used to hover over them and a drop down menu would appear. This doesn't happen anymore. Is this a setting I can change?

Thanks

Iain

If not mistaken that is a css or java type issue. I know that sometimes I can't get the menu to drop down as soon as I want, but if I wait for a few more things to load, then it will quickly drop down. If you have firebug (from firefox) or similar, you might be able to track down the issue.

What changes did you make to the site before the menus stopped working? Are there any error logs in your /logs folder?

Thanks,

I had closed the site and its been hosted with a new provider so i've re-uploaded everything to a new server and that's when I noticed the issue. Thanks

So, are there any errors in your logs folder, and have you tried uploading your admin's css files again?

What web browser are you using?

I had a similar issue in Opera where the dropdown was appearing offscreen, but i have a feeling this was fixed in zen version 1.5.1

have you tried using a different browser to see if it is
a) A browser issue or
b) A cacheing issue (You have done a hard refresh of the page and cleared your browsers cache)

HI,

I've tried clearing cache and using alternative browser with no success. There are no error logs in the /logs folder to indicate an issue either.

Thanks for your help

A long shot but you haven't done this by any chance have you?

Well that eliminates a few possibilities,
1) download from this site the version of zencart that matches yours eg you say you have 1.5.1 so download a fresh version from here

a) Uploaded fresh versions (from a fresh download of zen 1.5.1) to your admin of the admin CSS and javascript file
-- admin/includes/menu.css
-- admin/includes/menu.js
-- admin/includes/cssjsmenuhover.css
see if that fixes the problem, you may need to do a hard refresh.

b) Do a file comparison between all files in your admin and those in admin of the (freshly downloaded zencart), if you use file compaison software like win merge (that'll take about a minute)


Apart from the menu issue, is your admin working correctly? as it seems a bit odd there aren't errors in the yoursite.com/logs/ folder. Its not uncommon for there to be no logs, but for non-browser specific errors I've found that the majority of the time there will be logs.

The other thing to check is your webserver logs, some hosts even make it easy for you when you go to cpanel they will have an icon labelled "error logs" (This is different to Zencarts logs obviously ) but it may give you a clue

Hi,

Thanks for all your help, followed some of your instructions and it turns out my menu.js & general.js files were missing from the my_admin/includes folder. It's all working now. Thanks very much for your assistance, it is much appreciated

Thanks again
