I have made some minor modification to this template. Mostly in colors and css. But one problem I am having is that when you click a menu item on the left, that has submenu items (http://www.mmsysinc.com/products.php) and then you click those submenu items, the navigation resets (http://www.mmsysinc.com/commercial-controls.php) but it does not do it for the sub – menu item (http://www.mmsysinc.com/pc-monitor.php) Why is that??

I have been raking my brain to figure this out any help would be much appreciated.

One of two things…either an SEO problem. Simply turn it off to check…

Or…perhaps the “PARENT” menu item is not set for the sub-menu items in question.
The fix: In the Administration area…goto MENUS > (the menu you want).
Click on the sub-menu item you need…and then make sure the PARENT ITEM: is set to PRODUCTS & SERVICES only.

That should do it.
Have fun,
john.

jbrett – these where already set to the settings you suggested.

jsliao – you were on the money, it is a SEF problem. I guess I will have to test other SEF components to see which ones will work better – unless you know if one. I was using SH404SEF v 1.3

usually, its a case of incorrect/improper configurations/linking more than the component giving problems. sadly, its very difficult and tedious to diagnose such problems which is why I normally suggest turning it off if I think its a SEF problem.

if you need to have SEF, im afraid you’ve gotta try to debug it slowly without my help. 🙂

OK I upgrade to the latest version. Now I just need to know, is there a way that the links within the actual pages can work so that they do not reset the menu?

as long as the itemids and parents are correct, i dont see why the menu would ‘reset’.

turn off SEF and try jbrett’s reccomendations
