Menu only displays when logged in as host?

Hi

Couldnt find an answer to this on the forum, i am new to DNN - so possibly a newbie error - but... I have upload the menu and it seems to load ok and displays in the skin object list. The menu seems to work fine when logged in and creating pages etc. But whenever i logout it totally disappears and also when i am logged in as normal registered user. is there a setting somewhere where i 'switch' it on for display? Sorry if this is a silly question but im stumped! thanks in advance.

Hi

Nope - im afraid thats made no difference. For extra info, If it helps, the menu also disappears when you click on view rather than edit -  it stays on screen when you click on design(whilst in edit mode obviously). thanks for the swift replies. 

Hi - not an ideal solutions but this works - i have inserted a text/html module below the menu in the same pane. Have set it so that there is no text, title, borders etc - so invisible to viewer unless they have admin rights. This forces the content pane to display and the menu can now be seen. Like i said not ideal - but will work until better solution comes along - does this help you diagnose the problem?

It sounds like maybe you have the menu inside a skin pane then?  I have never tried that before.  The menu should not be inside another element that is marked runat="server".  Although you could put static html inside a skin pane , they really should be empty so that modules can be added to them dynamically.

If you can, please attach your .ascx file for your skin so I can get a better understanding of what is happening.

Hi. Ok i have attached the skin - basically doing it the way i was left instructions to do by a guy who has left the company (a programmer - im a designer) but i have inherited the DNN job (first time) - so it may well be that it isnt implemented in the official recommended way - unfortunately im not too techy so it looked ok to me.

Ok, yes, it is inside a skin pane. Here is a way to keep it where it is in the layout and keep that pane:

Change this:

<tdclass="PaneLeft"valign="top"id="LeftPane"runat="server"visible="false"><Snapsis:NavMenuid="nav1"DisplayIcon="False"OnlyExpandActive="true"Level="0-2"ExcludeTabs="Admin,Host"Type="Hover"runat="server"/></td>

<tdclass="PaneLeft"valign="top"><Snapsis:NavMenuid="nav1"DisplayIcon="False"OnlyExpandActive="true"Level="0-2"ExcludeTabs="Admin,Host"Type="Hover"runat="server"/><divid="LeftPane"runat="server"visible="false"></div></td>
