I did the Ningja update to 1.09 and lost my profile menus. To be clear, not just from the Forum (which I want) but from everywhere.

In other words, in a profile all you had was whatever landing page was chosen and you couldn't access anything else because the menu was gone.

The problem appears to be this snippet of code. When I delete it the menu reappears.

Does anyone know why that would be? Is anyone else having this issue?

{if isset($_conf.jrNingja_forum_profile) && $_conf.jrNingja_forum_profile != $current_url} {/if}

I've setup a demo site:

http://demo.jamroom.net/jrNingja/groove-digger

and don't see any issues with it there, but I'll see if I can replicate it by manipulating that bit of code.

Make sure your "Forum Profile URL" setting is correct - if it is incorrect the menu ends up being hidden. It must be set to the ENTIRE URL to your main site forum. So on our demo site I have it set to:

http://demo.jamroom.net/jrNingja/demoadmin/forum

Make sure yours is correct and it works.

Hope this helps!

Hi Brian,

That doesn't appear to be the issue. Mine was set correctly (see attached).

Could it possibly be my unique set-up, where Ningja is only run in profiles?

I did an experiment in my "sandbox" site. I can definitely conclude that Ningja also has to be the active skin for this to work.

It doesn't matter which skin you substitute for active, unless it's Ningja it produces a missing profile menu on all profiles.

So I guess the question is, what (if anything) would allow this to work when another active skin is chosen through admin skin?

It may not work as the active skin needs to have the skin setting for the forum URL.

You might try adding that to your active skins config.php file, other than that, I don't think using Ningja with other skins is going to work.

I've been screwing around on my sandbox site and this seems to work. Probably because it's not bothering with what the config settings are, but just directly checking for the specific URL. Do you foresee a problem?

{if 'http://sandbox.indiegospel.net/indie-gospel/forum' != $current_url}{else}{/if}

I'm running that code (I gave above) on my main site right now and don't seem to be having issues.

Of course I am checking for the exact URL of the Forum on the main site, above is the sandbox URL.

That should do it, as its basically the same thing. Glad you figured it out. :)

Ooops - actually my solution has a flaw. That takes away the profile menu on just the one specific forum page, but all the internal forum pages still have it.

So, I need to add a wildcard to the URL ending. Or else a statement that says when "indiegospel/forum" exists in the URL, take action.

So this code needs a wildcard ending on the URL, where XXXXX represents the wildcard ending.

{if 'http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/forumXXXXX' == $current_url}
{else}{/if}

One would think that would be simple. However, after many hours researching and testing, I've seen all kinds of wildcard values like * $ ^ ? and various combinations like ?* but none of them seem to work.

Does anyone have a solution?

I'd try the php command 'strstr'. This returns true if one string is found anywhere inside another, so

{if strstr($current_url, 'http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/forum')}
{else}
{/if}
