Megamenu page editing issues after upgrade

Asked by Jeffrey Kiefer 6 months ago Last activity 6 months ago

I updated to the latest version pf SPPB 6.3.1. Now when I login to the front end and use edit page the whole sublevel of the megamenu is listed in rows followed by displays from other pages.
I SPPB installed on the main website running Joomla 5.4.4 and on the test website running Joomla 6.0.4 both with php 8.3.
This issue is making it almost impossible to edit pages from the front end.
Please help!

This is my main issue and needs to be addressed but my second and less important issue with all the module edit flags on the front end. I never edit modules from the front where can I turn these off?

First, thank you for your quick reply. I appriciate you using the test J6 version :)

I am hearing you say that the issue I am having is because of the AMM and how it handles modules when in edit page state. Since I have the same version of AMM on both, that why I am receiving the same issues on both j 5.4.4+6.
That the issue is not with megamenu but page headings and better to use built in page headings from menu links. And on pages where that is not an option (program generated) to also use exclude when using AMM. (I have had past issues with page title content not working well with different screen sizes).

Thank you for identifying the problems and I will work on resolutions.
I greatly appriciate your help with this.

Hi Jeff.

I never edit modules from the front where can I turn these off?

From Joomla (itself) > Global Configuration > Site (tab) > Frontend Editing: None > Save & Close

Yes, I disabled on J6 site.

About first problem, as I checked those are the Headers made by single modules.

Problem can be caused by new Joomla 6 rules and installed AMM (RegularLabs). Somehow when you are logged as Super User you see all modules, not only one assined. Maybe you need to add exclusions, i.e., specify when the module should not be displayed.

On both sites you've the same SPPB version and template, it means the same code is used. But Joomla 6 has different code compare to Joomla 5, right. That's why AMM may work differently. And we have no control over that. Maybe RegularLabs support may help. But in UE we have holidays now till Monday, anyway you can ask them.

Just look at what you could do since the beginning; this solution is also faster for Joomla to generate. Visually the same, no list of all modules. Don't get me wrong but using modules for Header was OK, but years ago, now is not needed. I played on your J6 site only.
