Title: Strange disappearing of menus and modules.
Post by: mysticfan84 on November 15, 2015, 17:16:47 PM
For Joomla! 2.5.28 and Virtuemart 3.0.12.
Don't know what this is, but I was working on getting a logo on and a banner replaced on the vmbeez5 template. I got the logo working but couldn't replace the banner. So I gave up. When I returned to my website all I could and still can see is the Banner and the logo. No menu's nothing. I can change fontsize that's all. Everything was gone. Changing the template didn't work either. But according to my administrator I have a menu and modules that should be displaying.

Regards,

VMBeez5 is just the normal Joomla Beez5 template with a few minor  changes, especially its own css file, where vmbeez5.css replaces vmbeez.css  The template is included to provide a working example of Joomla/VM for beginners, as a starting point to learn how VM works. But it seems that some want to use it as a live site - it does work OK.

Whatever you changed will be a Joomla issue, not one with VirtueMart itself, probably changing the menu item assignment of modules. Switch to the standard Beez5 template and you should restore functionality, although with a different layout.

I put the original beez5 template, but it still shows the same. I haven't touched the menu or modules aside from adding a module. Would it work if I just reinstall the entire thing, cause right now I can only do things from the admin controlpanel?

Yes, you can just reinstall. Then learn how to use Joomla & its templates. Then you can work out what VirtueMart does and how to use/configure it.

Well, I never had any problems with Joomla or its templates in the past, its the adding of Virtuemart that is a little new for me. But then I never had to change any banners. And if I did, I didn't have to go trough the php. Which I have to do now, but I won't. I figured that out along the process, but what ever I did, could only have effected the banners, as I explained in my first post. I only added one module, which isn't active and activated a language pack, which I can't imagine would have any effect on the menus or modules. Also how can my working on one template effect all the templates in the Joomla package.
