Menus Won't Display Properly - support

4 Nov 2008


      I've been fighting with this for a couple weeks now with no resolution, 
so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.    I tried 
using the menu tabs capability in Views with no luck, so I'm trying to 
accomplish the same thing in a module, still with no luck, and I don't 
have much hair left to pull out...
What I want to do is create a page with three tabbed menu items.  The 
text will be from a Page node, and the three tabs will be views.  There 
are three roles - regular, associate, and affiliate - that need to have 
access.  Regular and Associate can see all items, and Affiliate role can 
only see what has been flagged as being visible to the Affiliate role.  
There are three categories - Basic Information, Best Practices, and 
Technology.  I've created six views accordingly.  What I'm trying to do 
is create two menu items: one for Regular/Associate, and one for 
Affiliate, with the same intro text.  Each will have three tabs, but the 
views will be different   Here is my hook_menu:
function mymodule_menu($may_cache) {
  $items = array();
if ($may_cache) {
    $items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/reg-assoc',
      'title' => t('Resource Center - Regular'),
      'description' => t('Resource center for regular and associate 
members'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_base_page',
      'access' => user_access('regular'),
      'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,     
    );
$items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/reg-assoc/basic',
      'title' => t('Basic Information'),
      'description' => t('Basic Information'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_basic',
      'callback argument' => 'resources_reg_assoc_basic',
      'access' => user_access('regular'),
      'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK,     
    );
$items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/reg-assoc/best-practices',
      'title' => t('Best Practices'),
      'description' => t('Best Practices'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_best',
      'callback argument' => 'resources_reg_assoc_best',
      'access' => user_access('regular'),
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,     
    );
$items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/reg-assoc/technology',
      'title' => t('Technology'),
      'description' => t('Technology'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_technology',
      'callback argument' => 'resources_reg_assoc_technology',
      'access' => user_access('regular'),
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,     
    );
$items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/affiliate',
      'title' => t('Resource Center - Affiliate'),
      'description' => t('Resource center for affiliate members'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_base_page',
      'access' => user_access('affiliate'),
      'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,     
    ); 
     $items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/affiliate/basic',
      'title' => t('Basic Information'),
      'description' => t('Basic Information'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_basic',
      'callback argument' => 'resources_affiliate_basic',
      'access' => user_access('affiliate'),
      'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK,     
    );
$items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/affiliate/best-practices',
      'title' => t('Best Practices'),
      'description' => t('Best Practices'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_best_practices',
      'callback argument' => 'resources_affiliate_best',
      'access' => user_access('affiliate'),
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,     
    );
$items[] = array(
      'path' => 'resource-center/affiliate/technology',
      'title' => t('Technology'),
      'description' => t('Technology'),
      'callback' => 'resource_center_technology',
      'callback argument' => 'resources_affiliate_technology',
      'access' => user_access('affiliate'),
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,     
    );      
  } 
  return $items;
}
The URLs for the views match the paths for the MENU_LOCAL_TASK items.
Here is the function to call the page (as referred to in the menu callback:
function resource_center_base_page() {
  $output = '';
$base_node = node_load(84);
  $display = node_view($base_node);
$output = $display;
return $output;
}
and then the functions to call the views:
function resource_center_basic($view_name) {
  $view = views_get_view($view_name);
  print views_build_view('embed', $view, array(), false, false);
}
function resource_center_best_practices($view_name) {
$view = views_get_view($view_name);
  print views_build_view('embed', $view, array(), false, false);
}
function resource_center_technology($view_name) {
$view = views_get_view($view_name);
  print views_build_view('embed', $view, array(), false, false);
}
After all that, what's happening is that the menu items are only 
available to my admin user (the first one created).  When I go to 
resource-center/reg-assoc, I get my page and the tabs, but when I go to 
resource-center/affiliate, I just get the page with no tabs.  When I log 
in as a regular role, I don't see the menu items at all, and if I go to 
resource-center/reg-assoc, I get Access Denied.  Am I doing something 
wrong, or is this a bug in the menu system.
Thanks.
