I am by no way a PHP expert either

- but all i know is that the issue stiil existed (for me at least) before i posted
- and when i made those changes on the download / local install somehow "something" was fixed
- I Did download several times and the error still happened after i posted
- However i do believe it COULD be my mistake - sorry
I was thinking that when this was fixed by changing the code that it had something to do with defining the DS constant in joomla 3.0
and that '.DS.' is not the same as '. DS .'
but no its not defined as a string with periods
if(!defined('DS')) define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
- perhaps there was a cache file somewhere???
- i do remember an issue with the hits function a long time ago
But the current download
- now installs menu items with various filters without any issues
- A fresh download now shows categories in the menu item properties
- how long has that been there?
- even though the . DS . is still present in the current download it creates menu items without error
