New Page Menu Errors

This one is interesting.  Got contacted by one of the members here to take a look at their site, and what I'm seeing is just not making sense, I know the symptoms, but I'm not sure of what's going on to cause it, so here it is for someone to throw an idea on:

Script:  6.1.6

Templates:  Uni and other templates, not a template error

Issue:

The member has added 2 new pages to the page builders and the Navigation menu, she's using the URL provided by the Page Builders in the URL Location in the Navigation Menus Builder.

Now, when you enter the site and click the Standard Dolphin Menu items, the menu behaves normally.

When you hover over a link to one of the 2 new pages, it will show you the sublinks as it should.

However, when you click one of the Menu Tabs for the New pages, it displays the submenu for the Music Page. 

For some reason, when the page is loaded it's bring up the music submenu and hiding the actual menu, it also highlights the music tab while it's on the pages that were added via page builder.

So, any ideas on this one? 

One tab is for Subscriptions, the other is an attempt to create a new page and do mult-column articles it appears.

Moving on with this, it's pulling submenu_38 (that's the music submenu) when it should be pulling for example submenu_95 which is the one for the page that it's on.  (I love firebug for this stuff, now how do I fix this again?)    Beating head against desk... Bashing head at FTP hoping to knock server back to reality...

I believe i mentioned this to her in another thread.

Have you looked in the TopMenu table in the database for inconsistencies?

Like the Top level items having a parent id of 0 and the correct link.

And the sub menu items having a parent ID that matches the proper parent.

Also the top level items should have a type of top and the submenu items a type of custom.



I suspect some kind of database issue.

Actually Dean, the answer was simpler than that, didn't need to write a modCompileMenu.php file like I was about to do, I just took another look at her Nav Menu Builder Links she had put in and it became obvious, though I don't know why it did it, I have been able to fix it.

Specifically in the URL section of each menu item she put the following:

http://yoursite.com/viewPage.php?ID=Dentistry%20Headline%20News

Note, that's the link that pagebuilder gives out if you don't convert it to a friendly URL.  Well, I'm not going that far here right now, just trying to fix a menu, so I edited the URLs to read as follows:

/viewPage.php?ID=Dentistry%20Headline%20News

Which matches all the other URLs in the NMB and Walaa, the problem is fixed.  Again, we over thought this one, myself definitely and in the end it was something that was right in front of us the whole time, literally.  Simply by using the short URL vs the long URL we were able to fix this problem.

I was about to go watch some mrpowless videos to figure this one out.  Gawd do I love the issues the newbies create!!

Figures. Something i do all the time. Over look the simplest solution.
