Mismatched Security Levels on Subordinate Menu Items Cause Failure
Re MaxiMenu-CK
Hi Cédric,
I inadvertently broke my website's top menu at https://www.fearringtonfha.org. Here's how:
I have a Separator-type link called "Admin" having access level "Special". The other links under that top-level link were all either "Special" or "Super User" level. Worked perfectly.
I added a new link to this drop-down a couple of days ago to an article with access level "Registered", and for me ("Super User") all looked OK. However, yesterday and today I received a torrent of phone calls and emails from people who said the top menu was displaying as a list of menu items sunning down the left side of the page. A screen shot suggested this was an ordered list.
I finally thought to look at the Joomla Menus manager, and running down through the links under "Admin", I saw the new link with "Registered"for an access level. I changed that to "Special", matching the "Admin" access level, and the menu displayed correctly.
I wonder if there is a way MaxiMenu-CK could provide a diagnostic message when this situation arises, rather than apparently just giving up and presenting what looks loke an unformatted ordered list. Perhaps a console.error() message. This would have saved me and my usrs a huge amount of time over the last two days.
Thanks for your consideration.
