Admin Menu Error

Loaded the 4.2.1 package on a new 1.7 install. Seems to have loaded ok, but got an error about the admin menu. Still, I saw the message that I needed to save my options.

I did so, uploaded a few sermons, and was able to create a sermon list page without a problem. However, when I wanted to get back to the component, it was not listed in the component drop down menu list

I can get to the component by entering a direct url, (sitename/administrator/index.php?option=com_sermonspeaker), but there is no menu.

I tried to uninstall the component, then reinstall just the component, but the same error appeared.

Not sure if this is a component configuration issue, or something I need to ask at the Joomla forums.

Thanks for your help.

did you migrate anything from 1.5? I've had something similar happen to me when i used migration component to migrate database over to 1.7. it pretty much overwrote root entries in database. you can try and find a component under intall->manage and try and uninstall it and install again.

Nope ... this was a new install of 1.7.

That's strange. It sounds more like a Joomla issue than a SermonSpeaker one.
The admin menu is created with a simple statement in the sermonspeaker.xml file. I just say where it should point and what name and picture it should have.

If you are familiar with the database you can have a look at the #__menu table to see if the entries were created.

The entries are there, but I'm not sure what the various flag options should be. I'll do some digging in the Joomla 1.7 forums at Joomla.org.

Thanks.

You could try deleting those menu entries (make a backup of the table first!) and reinstall SermonSpeaker over the existing installation. I think it should recreate the entries then.
Also make sure you're logged in as Super Administrator, otherwise the menu may be hidden due to permission issues.
