New pages not shown on menu

Good morning,

I have a fresh install of the MojoPortal that I just downloaded and set up last night (2/13).  I have the site up and running, but there is a problem with adding new pages.  When I add a new page, it does not show up in the page navigation menu, nor does it appear in the Administrative Menu > Add/Edit Pages.  This only occurs on the live website on my web host; my local copy runs fine.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

I should also note that, after adding a page, I can access it manually by typing in the URL that I used when creating the page.  It just doesn't show on the menu.

Re: New pages not shown on menu

Hi Tim,

Things I would do to troubleshot this:

check that the hosted environment is ASP.NET 3.5 SP1

check the mojoportal log for clues under Administration Menu > System Log. Note that the newest errors are at the bottom and there will be plenty of errors in the log after an initial install, so it may be best to clear the log, then visit a few pages then check the log again.

I would look at the data in the mp_Pages table and look for problems, like blank url field or name field or anything that doesn't seem right.

Are you working with source code or a release package of mojoPortal?  

Did you deploy your own build to the host or one of my pre-compiled release packages?

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: New pages not shown on menu

Hi Joe,

I worked with this for a while and was finally able to fix the problem.  I compared the database I was using for my local installation, which was working fine, and the remote instance, which was not.  I found that the parent GUID for the Home page was set to all zeroes in the remote instance, and the parent GUIDs for the other pages had some values that weren't found in the GUID column.  I deleted all of my pages but the home page, manually set the parent GUID to equal the page GUID for the home page, and recreated all of my pages.  This did resolve the issue.

Other than that, everything else seems to be working great.  Thanks for sharing mojoPortal with the world!

Tim
