Description

When "site menu bar" is selected under "site identity features", and a menu is specified in the "tiki-top_bar.tpl" file, as below:


{if $feature_phplayers eq 'y' and $feature_siteidentity eq 'y' and $feature_sitemenu eq 'y'}
<br><br>
{phplayers id=44 type=horiz}
{/if}


If the menu does not have any options that are permitted by the current user (no sections to display - prior to loggin in to site, for example), the system crashes because of an empty string.

To recover it is necessary to manually edit the tiki database to add a menu section that has no permission requirements.

In the example above, menu id 44 has no sections or options that are viewable by unregistered users. When the site is entered, tiki halts because of an empty string, apparently because there is no menu selection possible for the user (not logged in yet.)

Solution

make the appropriate code allow the null string produced by the menu.

workaround - leave a menu option that goes nowhere and has no permission requirement, so it will be displayed for any user, even an unregistered user.
