I have an interesting problem that has come up.

The structure settings seems to be resetting itself. When I assign a weblog to managed by “Structure” and select the default template. I can go and add a page. Then after 1 or 2 pages are added, the structure tab disappears, and when I check the settings the weblog is back to “Unmanaged”?

Any ideas? Should I just re-install, and start from a clean weblog?

I’ve used Structure before and wouldn’t do an EE site without it now. I’m installing it on a new site today and run into a problem I don’t recall having the first few times I used it. My problem is that ext.structure_ext.php seems to be breaking the extension manager. As soon as I upload that file I cannot access my extension manager at all - it just returns a completely blank page. If I delete the file, the problem goes away and extension manager works fine. So of course this issue doesn’t allow me to install Structure or use any other extensions if it’s installed. What’s going on? Am I doing something wrong in the installation process?

benek,

I’ve had the same problem. It was because I hadn’t uploaded one or more of the files or because one of the files was from an older version..

Do you have an FTP client that allows you to do directory comparisons? I use FileZilla, which will do so and color-code the files that are older or missing on the webhost.

I just reinstalled EE and followed the entire Structure install process again and still having the same problem. This is with a fresh install of EE 1.6.7 and the latest version of Structure 1.2.5. All files are up to date. Any ideas?

Benek,

Is there a possibility that Structure is conflicting with some other extension that you have installed? Try removing others.

No other extensions installed apart from the required jQuery CP extension. This is a brand new fresh install.

Benek,

Have you specified your theme folder path correctly? Structure has css, images and javascript in there?

Using default theme for CP and front-end. Not sure what you mean. Is there a setting I have to change to point somewhere else even if using the default theme?

Under Admin > System > Preferences > General configuration the themes foldr settings are > ‘URL to you “Themes” folder’ and > ‘Theme folder path’ settings on the 7th and 8th row.

On my web host for example these need to be set to > ‘http://www.site_name.net/system_folder/themes/ and > ‘/home/myusername/public_html/site_name.net/system_folder/themes/

Yep, those settings are correct.

Good luck, I’m a novice and I’m out of ideas.

Darn! Anyone else experience this problem?

Apart from reinstalling EE and starting over (which I’ve done once already with no improvement), I’m not sure what else I can do.

Very frustrating, as I can’t start building the site until Structure is up and running.

Just to expand on the previous person’s issues with empty <li>s being outputted.

If I use this tag:

{exp:structure:nav_sub exclude_status="No Navigation" show_level_classes="no" }

I get the following HTML

<ul id="nav-sub">
    <li><a href="/page_url/">Title text</a></li>
    <li><a href="/page_url/">Title text</a></li>
    <li><a href="/page_url/">Title text</a></li>
    <li class="last"><a href="/page_url/">Title text</a></li>
</ul>

<li class="here last"><a href="/"></li>
<li class="here last"><a href="/"></li>
<li class="here last"><a href="/"></li>
<li class="here last"><a href="/"></li>
<li class="here last"><a href="/"></li>

If I add the start_from attribute then those empty <li>s go away.
