Magento Admin Menu Not Working

AJAX, Magento, PHP

While i was installing a oscommerce platform I encountered a problem, a new problem i might add, because i never saw it before. I’ve worked before with but never had any issues. This time, after getting it up and running i noticed that my admin menu wasn’t working, the options weren’t dropping down as usual.

You obviously can’t work without a menu so i started googling the issue. The first page i looked into gave some indications but nothing clear, and those guys we’re having the problem on ver 1.0 of which is really old.

After trying and testing various methods i finally got it to work, and here is how i did it:

  • step1: replace app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Head.php with this head.php
  • step2: 755 the js/ folder, and folders within.
  • step3: 644 the files inside js/lib/
  • step4: 644 js/index.php
  • step5: there is no step 5 :) your menu is now working

    Don’t do that ever again. That is against Google’s term of use.
    It’s enough to say thank you.
