I just tried this on 3.3.1 and 4.3.1 and am not able to replicate the problem.  There is code in there that verifies that there is at least one non-break menuitem.

 

Private Sub BindMenu(ByVal objNodes As DNNNodeCollection)
  Me.Visible = DisplayControl(objNodes)
...
 
Private Function DisplayControl(ByVal objNodes As DNNNodeCollection) As Boolean
  If Not objNodes Is Nothing AndAlso objNodes.Count > 0 AndAlso m_tabPreview = False Then
    Dim objRootNode As DNNNode = objNodes(0)
    If objRootNode.HasNodes AndAlso objRootNode.DNNNodes.Count = 0 Then
      'if has pending node then display control
      Return True
    ElseIf objRootNode.DNNNodes.Count > 0 Then
      'verify that at least one child is not a break
      For Each childNode As DNNNode In objRootNode.DNNNodes
        If Not childNode.IsBreak Then
          'Found a child so make Visible
          Return True
        End If
      Next
    End If
  End If
  Return False
End Function

Are you saying that you get this to happen on all modules or just custom ones? Also, could you try using the default blue skin (DNNBlue) and modify the Image Header - ColorBackground.ascx to use the dropdown menu.

 

<dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnACTIONS" ProviderName="DNNDropDownNavigationProvider" />

This way we can be sure that we are seeing the same things.

 

Isomies, 

I am curious about your concern for Mac users.  Are you asserting that the solpart menu does not work for them?  If so what browser are you referring to?  Last time I checked the menu worked fine for nearly all Mac browsers, including MacIE.

Hi Jon,

It seems that we were doing things in different ways, which explains why it was hard to reproduce.  I was using the same method as Vicenc.

From what I can see, this works:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>
<dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnACTIONS" ProviderName="DNNDropDownNavigationProvider" />

but this doesn't:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="DROPDOWNACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/DropDownActions.ascx" %>
<dnn:DROPDOWNACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnDROPDOWNACTIONS" />

Which implies that there may still be a problem in the codebehind for DropDownActions.ascx but there is at least a way that works to go forward.

Thanks for your help,

Rob.
