Side Menu Gone in Upgraded Version

    Side Menu Gone in Upgraded Version

    I just updated to the latest version (1.5.4), and initially had a problem with a $_stacks argument on line 208 in /includes/header.inc.php which the error message said was not an array. I went to the code and changed it to [php](array)$_stacks[/php] and that made the error message go away.

    However, I still have no side menu in my courses. I can advance through course content with the arrow icon, but cannot see the outline of the course, nor any modules on the right side. (Frankly, I wish I knew how to move the menu to the left side, but that's another issue.)

    In addition, when I login using my former admin username, I have access only to basic system preferences, error logging and cron-setup...nothing else, including no courses. Is there a default admin login for new installs that I should be using.

    I'm glad that I don't seem to have lost my content, but I have lost most functionality. What can I tell you that would help you puzzle this out?

    and "content navigation" is turned on in the side menu I guess?

    regarding moving the menu: I'm working on a new theme where this is resolved, and the menu can be moved left / right by altering a few lines in the CSS.

    My first though is to restore the original version from the database backup and the copy of the ATutor directories you made before upgrading, then try upgrading again.

    Please describe the system ATutor is running on if you need more help.

    I do have the old directories, but I do not have a db backup.
    Which folders should I overwrite with the old ones?

    Here's some more on my setup...Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/4.4.0 DAV/1.0.3 mod_ssl/2.8.24 OpenSSL/0.9.7l

    Vegard: I don't know where to turn on content navigation, since I have almost nothing in the admin panel when I login with my old admin username.

    Without a backup of the database, you'll need to do a manual install, which is essentially setting up ATutor without running the db upgrade scripts (in fact do not run the installer/upgrade this time).

    Move you broken upgrade directory to a new location, or rename it.

    Unpack a fresh copy of ATutor 1.5.4 into the old location of the broken upgrade.

    Copy or move the include/config.inc.php file and the content directory from the broken upgrade into the fresh copy.

    That should be anoutgh to get you running. Depending on customiztions, modules, etc, there may be a few more steps to copy eveything over from the broken upgrade.

    We do have a troubleshooting/installation service available if you'd like us to repair things for you. See the services page:

    Turn on content navigation as the instructor under the Manage tab, then Student Tools>Side menu
