While it seems most people new to CPG are trying to remove the sys_menu buttons, somehow I've achieved that with flying colors and now I'd like it back!

for the sake of simply evaluating the way the site would look, I commented out the sys_menu in my template.html.  well I un-commented it, and now it is nowhere to be found.  I must be missing something.  I tried to copy over all the original, relevant code from the sample template.php and template.html to make sure I hadn't mistakenly disabled it elsewhere, but no luck.

from my custom template.html
Code Select
</head>
<body>
  {CUSTOM_HEADER}
   <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td valign="top" style="border: 0px solid #666666;background-color:#FFFFFF;">
        <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
          <tr>
            <td>
            <!--  <a href="index.php"><img src="themes/sample/images/site_logo.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> -->
            </td>
            <td width="100%" align="center">
              <h1>{GAL_NAME}</h1>
              <h3>{GAL_DESCRIPTION}</h3><br />
              {SYS_MENU}<br />{SUB_MENU}
            </td>
          </tr>
        </table>

anything relevant from my custom template.php:
Code Select

I tried the trick of accessing another theme through the url to see if it was just my theme that was messed up, but the sys_menu doesn't show using the classic theme either.  what I'm I doing wrong?

TIA,

another new new one

Make sure you don't have a template.html in your root Coppermine directory. If you have one there it will override the theme's template.html.

Thanks, I did check that as well.

I was able to turn up some new information that may help solve the problem.  I logged in by accessing the login through url, and immediately the sys_menu showed up.  It's there in either user mode or admin mode, but as soon as I log out again it disappeared. 

on the one hand, I dig it.  But I guess it would be good for me to know why its that way, and what I did to accomplish it.

If this is in the wrong thread, because now its a permissions issue of sorts, I'll gladly move it.

here's a link to the gallery: http://www.seanporterdp.com

I couldn't find anything along these lines in a search (especially since I haven't change much code at all, and only formatting)

thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions if I'm still overlooking any other board rules.

Zip the entire content of your custom theme folder and attach it to your posting please.

The theme you attached doesn't explain the double headers, so either your webhost is injecting stuff or you're messing with the custom_header.

Some of your edits of theme.php are nonsensical - to disallow rating or comments, just turn off the corresponding option on the groups control panel instead of messing with the theme. I cleaned up your theme.php a bit, you should use this:

Thanks you for the thoughts, and certainly for going through and tidying up my code.  Admittedly I don't know a thing, I just meddle out of necessity.  I'd be into knowing how some of these changes work, but I'll leave that out of this thread.  Anyway thanks again, I'll keep at it.
