I use the custom menus in themes and my menus have several menu levels--categories and subcategories, essentially (one of my favorite features in 2.x)...
In my current 2.5 site, each item in the menu is a link and
functions properly as a link. We love this.
In the 2.8 (we're working on an upgrade
in a couple weeks) site, only the last link in the string works. So
if my top category is Online and I create the Online|myonlinecourse.com
listing but nothing else, clicking the link works. If I add three
subcategory links (-Mandatory|mandatoryonline.com,
-Elective|electiveonline.com & -Specialty|specialtyonline.com), the
subcategory links work but not the original Online link. If I add links
to courses or other subcategories another level down, that level link
works but not the Online, Mandatory, Elective or Specialty. That said,
if you right click and choose Open in a new tab or window, then the
links work. But my staff aren't that sophisticated and just getting
them online is a challenge. I'll still upgrade to 2.8 but this loss of functionality is frustrating.
I know this was mentioned here: tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-45893 but I didn't see any resolution (I was just skimming, looking for custom menu stuff)...it seemed like almost an afterthought. I've fiddled around a bit and can
add areas in the menu to make it work (basically adding another entry
for the extra categories i.e -Online in addition to the Online) but that
gets pretty ugly pretty fast...the menu would be confusing and monstrous.
Is there a way to customize the theme to
make the links work without craziness? Or just fix it.
