Custom Menu's not working

Custom Menu's not working

Hi Everyone,

I'm using 2.1 (Build: 20110701) and having a go with Custom Menu's but if I use the example given, this results in the URL being shown instead of the Text:

Custom Menu

And if you click on the link you get the following error message:

Not Found

The requested URL /admin/<a href= was not found on this server.

Which is not surprising as the output is rendered as:

<a title="Moodle community" href="<a href="http//moodle.org" class="_blanktarget">http://moodle.org</a>">Moodle community</a>

Is anyone else seeing this?

And can anyone tell me which files control the custom menu items?

Thanks

Fred

Hi,

I have just been running some tests on a website which reported the same problem.

Can you give me some more details so I can set up a Moodle Tracker for this.

I need to know...

Server type (Window 2008/Linux/etc)

Computer OS (Windows 7 /XP/Mac/ etc)

Browser )IE/FireFox/Safari/ etc)

Build version of Moodle (found in your root directory in filename version.php)

Thanks

Mary

Hi Mary,

I've just raised it as a bug in Tracker:

It may be linked to this bug:

Hi Fred,

Looks like I beat you to it...

MDL-28519

I'll link them together for completeness.

It is beginning to look like the version of Moodle which has the BUG with the men, and I suspect it is also related to the work in MDL-28168 which was done to fix a language problem with the menu. However, later versions released since your version, and the menu works fine.

So my advice is upgrade to the latest version of Moodle 2.1

Thanks

Mary
