E rror: MenusTableMenu: :_getNode Failed -

[shafee_howard]

Hi, I'm unable to add an item to a menu in this new test site of mine. I get the following:

Menu Manager: New Menu Item

Save failed with the following error: MenusTableMenu: :_getNode Failed -

Screenshot attached.

How can I fix this ??

Thanks -- Howard Ballinger

Looking for a response to this problem, please please. I can't add items to the menus on my Purity II site.

Thanks -- Howard Ballinger

Hi there,
I use Purity II with Joomla 2.5.4 and PHP version 5.3.2 and it works. Please try to change PHP version to 5.3 or above and let me know what happens.

Thanks.

[shafee_howard]

Thanks, I made that change through the HostGator folks and PHPinfo now indicates PHP Version 5.3.10 is running

But I'm still getting that same error when I try to add a menu item.

Further suggestions? Thanks in advance -- HB

Hi shafee_howard,

Could you tell me more about the way you install this site? Did you install with quickstart package and without sample data?

[shafee_howard]

Exactly -- quickstart pkg, no sample data.

Hi shafee_howard,

It seems that in the menu table, the record with id=1 is missing. you should access to your's site database and add this record into.

REMEMBER to take a backup of your site before make following change (you can restore it if something goes wrong)
For example:
My database name = MyJoomlaDatabase
My prefix is = mjd17_

Follow the steps below to fix this Joomla error message:
1. Login to your webhosting control panel.
2. Click on the phpMyAdmin, login to your database
3. Click on the SQL tab
4. Copy the query below and paste it in the textbox. REPLACE the database name and prefix in italics with your own.

INSERT INTO `MyJoomlaDatabase`.`mjd17_menu` (`id` ,`menutype` ,`title` ,`alias` ,`note` ,`path` ,`link` ,`type` ,`published` ,`parent_id` ,`level` ,`component_id` ,`ordering` ,`checked_out` ,`checked_out_time` ,`browserNav` ,`access` ,`img` ,`template_style_id` ,`params` ,`lft` ,`rgt` ,`home` ,`language` ,`client_id` ) VALUES ( ’1′, ”, ‘Menu_Item_Root’, ‘root’, ”, ”, ”, ”, ’1′, ’0′, ’0′, ’0′, ’0′, ’0′, ’0000-00-00 00:00:00′, ’0′, ’0′, ”, ’0′, ”, ’0′, ’0′, ’0′, ‘*’, ’0′)

5. Click on the ‘GO’ button.
After the query successfully inserts a new record in your menu table, test with recreating a new menu item and see what happen.

Let me know if you need further help.

Makes sense. And wow, complicated query !! Thanks. But unfortunately PHP didn't like the query syntax (see attached)@SQL-err.jpg . Is there a correction?

[Saguaros]

You could try again with this:

INSERT INTO 'MyJoomlaDatabase'.'mjd17_menu' ('id' ,'menutype' ,'title' ,'alias' ,'note' ,'path' ,'link' ,'type' ,'published' ,'parent_id' ,'level' ,'component_id' ,'ordering' ,'checked_out' ,'checked_out_time' ,'browserNav' ,'access' ,'img' ,'template_style_id' ,'params' ,'lft' ,'rgt' ,'home' ,'language' ,'client_id' ) VALUES ( '1','','Menu_Item_Root', 'root','','','','','1','0', '0', '0', '0', '0','0000-00-00 00:00:00','0','0','','0','','0','0','0','*','0')
