Hi,
Can't seem to edit the main menu block in the new 1.5 version. If I remember correctly, in 1.4.4 I just turned editing on and added resources from the drop-down menu. But with 1.5 there are no editing options - no drop-down, no hand with pencil icon. I even tried adding a resource to the topics section and moving it to the main menu but no. I am logged in as admin and I turned editing on. Can someone tell me how to add resources to the main menu block in 1.5 please?
Thx
This is what the main menu block looks like in the site index for me (and what it should also be looking like for you). How is this screenshot different from what you see?

Someone else had this problem, see bug 3299. I don't know what causes it because it's not happening for me on any 1.5 site.
And Andrea had this as well!
I just rediscovered bug 2925, of which these are obviously duplicates. Andrea reports how he got it in working order again, however this has to do with *nix filesystem permissions. I 'll put it on my TODO list, but it would help greatly if you can give me shell at some playground server. Otherwise I 'll have to make arrangements which I 'd rather not.

Thanks for the responses. I am also running Debian linux, and I changed my directorypermissions from 00777 to 02777 like outlined in bug 2925, but nothing changed. I also tried 0750, because that was what the directorypermissions variable was set to under Moodle 1.4.4 when I was able to edit the Main Menu block, but that also made no change. Any other suggestions?
I have the same problem, looking at the html it seems as if the mainmenue has a problem with class and id
The class for mainmenue
<div class="sideblock">
The class for admin
<div class="block_admin sideblock" id="inst2">
The class for courselist
<div class="block_course_list sideblock" id="inst3">
Looking at html for moodle.org the mainmenue is:
<div class="block_site_main_menu sideblock" id="inst1">
The class for mainmenue
<div class="sideblock">
The class for admin
<div class="block_admin sideblock" id="inst2">
The class for courselist
<div class="block_course_list sideblock" id="inst3">

<div class="block_site_main_menu sideblock" id="inst1">
I fiddled with the choices for how the front page should appear.
I originally had 'show arbitary html', switched to show news ==>
the main menue became editable.
After this I could choose any display format and the main menu still works.
Strange..

Audun you are my hero. The boss was about to make me revert back to uPortal.
Whew. Um, er, not that there's anything wrong with uPortal...
Anyway that worked for me too. I had the front page format set to list
categories, switched it to show news, then back, and now all editing capablities are
there regardless of the front page format. Strange, indeed.
Audun, that was one great inspiration! 
It put me on the right track regarding this bug. I now know what causes
it, and I can confirm that your site will live happily ever after.
I 'm not quite sure how to go about resolving this bug though, but it will come eventually. Thanks! For reference, this is bug 2925.

That does the trick! But I expect a real fix soon... 
Bug 2925 is finally dead.
If you have version 2005061300 of the block, you should never get this problem again.
Cheers!
