[SOLVED]Menu disappears when in frontend user preferences.

[aesteves]

Hi all.

Problem:

in a multilingual site, I don't want the first level of menus to be visible (the first level has two entries, one for each language). This is the easy part. I have put it to work with both show_menu and show_menu2. The problem is when a user goes to his preferences page the menu disappears.
If I leave all the menu levels visible this doesn't occur.

Any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks,

ap

Yes that is normal, all Menues greater level 0 like your will be not shown, It too happens in search and login

In login.php/signup.php and maybe more files in account folder,there is a piece of code:

Code:

define('PAGE_ID', 0);
define('ROOT_PARENT', 0);
define('PARENT', 0);
define('LEVEL', 0);
define('PAGE_TITLE', $TEXT['PLEASE_LOGIN']);
define('MENU_TITLE', $TEXT['PLEASE_LOGIN']);
define('VISIBILITY', 'public');

I guess you can define here which menu level you want to be shown..

Thanks for the attention.

After finding out that it was the same problem that use to happen on the search page with show_menu2, tried a few times to hard code the variable PAGE_ID or REFERRER_ID here and there with no results at all.

The solution is to append a get variable in the link to the preferences page (below the login form in the frontend - after the login is made of course).

Like this:

Where it use to be:
<a href="<?php echo PREFERENCES_URL; ?>">

is now:

<a href="<?php echo PREFERENCES_URL."?referrer=".PAGE_ID; ?>">

Probably you can check if the REFERRER_ID exists and put there, if not PAGE_ID, but this solution works for me.

Thanks again for everything!

Cheers

It's not so easy. I already try this to let some constants as is. If you do so, you got many issues, if want to call this urls by menu_link.
