I’ve been struggling with the ordering of the magazine* menu. Some of the menu items I just changed their titles and description. Now my main menu and other menu items want to keep changing their orders back to an old setting. I desparetly need to stop this from happening. Please help!

My menu items reorder by themselves. When I save the root menu ‘Home’ all the other submenus reorder… to some set order

ok idk where the heck my response from yesterday went, but apparently this is an issue with jupgraded joomla sites. ( see joomla forum I lost the link :-[) the temporary cure is to use the arrow buttons and move the menu’s that way. HOPEFULLY J! 1.7.1 will fix this. I’ve tested the arrow method and it does work.

I think there are no answers to this one, it is a bug in the template.

I”m assuming both of you used jupgrade to migrate? is this correct?

Hi guys, that’s correct it’s Joomla’s bug. But we can manually fix this by jump into the database directly. View my thread, the answer in there: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/magazine-menu-automatically-re-ordering/

This is how to fix it in step by step:
1. Go to Cpanel.
2. Open phpmyadmin.
3. Open the datatabase and find table named jos_menu. ‘jos’ is the prefix table so it might be different with yours.
4. If you know sql then view only the menutype (and level if you prefer) which has problem such as magazine, so you don’t get confused with other menutype which are not related.
5. Check the field named “ordering” for each level, check them whether they have correct order or not. Edit if needed.
6. After finish, go to the website administrator page and open the menu page, then click the ‘rebuild’ button.
7. Done!

Let me know if you still have the problem.

your correct it IS a bug in J! that is created when jupgrade is used. you fix is solid, I’ll add one thing to it though, if you reset all the ordering values to ‘0’ and then do the rest, it will reorder that way also.
Thanks alot for your solution.
