[Closed] Error building Admin Menus

I have Joomla 1.7.2 loaded in the root with Moodle 2.0 as a folder within Joomla. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and continue to get the component install error, "Error building Admin Menus".

Any ideas.

Are you installing from the zip file?

I have not tried 1.7.2 yet but had no problems with 1.7.0.

Have you tried installing the zip file from the tmp directory? What about unzipping the package in the tmp directory too?

This seems to be a problem with Joomla, rather than Joomdle itself:

Please see:
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2660946

Same error when installing from an uncompressed folder in the tmp folder.

Looked in the #_Menu table and it turns out the it is not creating the menu item for the component. There are no Joomdle records.

From the Joomla forum...there seems to be something in the XML which is incompatible with 1.7.2

You have....

<menu>COM_JOOMDLE</menu>
<submenu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-cpanel.png">COM_JOOMDLE_CONTROL_PANEL</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=config" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-config.png">COM_JOOMDLE_CONFIGURATION</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=users" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-users.png">COM_JOOMDLE_USERS</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=mappings" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-mappings.png">COM_JOOMDLE_MAPPINGS</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=customprofiletypes" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-profiletypes.png">COM_JOOMDLE_CUSTOM_PROFILES</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=courseapplications" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-applications.png">COM_JOOMDLE_APPLICATIONS</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=shop" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-vmart.png">COM_JOOMDLE_SHOP</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=mailinglist" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-lists.png">COM_JOOMDLE_MAILING_LIST</menu>
<menu link="option=com_joomdle&amp;view=check" img="components/com_joomdle/assets/images/icon-16-info.png">COM_JOOMDLE_SYSTEM_CHECK</menu>
</submenu>

I think it's supposed to look like something like this. (I'm using another component's XML which loaded without issue.

<menu link="option=com_community" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/community-favicon.png">JomSocial</menu>
<submenu>
<menu view="configuration" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/configuration-favicon.gif">Configurations</menu>
<menu view="users" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/edit-user-favicon.gif">Users</menu>
<menu view="profiles" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/profiles-favicon.gif">Custom Profiles</menu>
<menu view="groups" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/groups-favicon.gif">Groups</menu>
<menu view="groupcategories" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/groupcategories-favicon.gif">Groups Category</menu>
<menu view="events" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/event-favicon.gif">Events</menu>
<menu view="eventcategories" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/eventcategories-favicon.gif">Events Category</menu>
<menu view="templates" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/templates-favicon.gif">Templates</menu>
<menu view="mailqueue" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/mailq-favicon.gif">Mail Queue</menu>
<menu link="option=com_plugins&amp;filter_type=community" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/applications-favicon.gif">Applications</menu>
<menu view="userpoints" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/userpoints-favicon.gif">User Points</menu>
<menu view="about" img="components/com_community/assets/icons/about-favicon.gif">About</menu>
</submenu>

What do you think?

Another user solved this by:

Deleting all Joomdle entries in the Database tables using PHPmyAdmin worked! I was able to install Joomdle without issue.

www.joomdle.com/en/forum/joomdle-for-joo...-and-moodle-212#6678

I looked at that...In this case there are no database entries in the _menu object to delete. It looks like its getting hung up on the XML.

I don't know, no one has reported this problem, and I have not experienced it myself, and I have installed on J1.7 quite a lot of times, so I doubt there is a problem with the XML.

As the thread in joomla forum says, it's a problem with Joomla rather than the component. You could try a fresh Joomla install to confirm it.
