D4.6.8 to D6.10: Secondary Menu not Working

When I upgraded from D4.6 to D6.10, I noticed that secondary menus weren't showing up. I assumed I had just forgotten to turn something on so I didn't worry about it. Upon upgrading another installation from D4.6 to D6.11, I realized that secondary menus weren’t showing on the second upgrade either. This meant I needed to investigate further. To make a long story short, the variable table had the wrong value for menu_secondary_links_source. To know what this means and how I came to this conclusion, please read the process below.

If you haven't already, set up a development space on the server that hosts your current site. Three years ago, a statement like that would turn me into a deer in the headlights. Let me help you.

  1. Development Domain: Ask your hosting service to set up another site directory on your account using either a domain that you will use for development or something like dev.examplesite.com. It needs to be a separate directory (NOT a drupal site folder).
  2. Database: Ask your hosting service to set up another database.

When I started the process of upgrading my site, I assumed I might have an issue with MySQL and PHP versions. In fact, it was this concern that slowed my initial start. After reading the varies INSTALL.txt files, I saw that upgrades shouldn't be an issue. So, I upgraded and as it turns out, both sites run ok on PHP 4.4.0 and MySQL distribution 3.25.

Knowing, however, that there were modules in D6 that needed PHP5.2, I ventured forward and upgraded both MySQL and PHP to their latest stable versions.

In this short article, I am going to share with you what Jess Snyder is doing with her sites by using the CCK computed field module. With this method, you can create a content type that is designed to display content from a view after the node has passed an argument to the view.
