Module Reference navbar does not display items

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Module Reference navbar does not display items

EDIT: this is fixed. avoid using Windows XP built in .zip extractor and use a 3rd party instead ( 7Zip,Winzip, etc) ------------------- On My PC (WinXP SP2) when I click on: Home Icon >> Module Reference The right side navbar (that contains all of the help items) is empty. I set up Blitzmax on a different PC (same install, same OS --WinXP SP2) and the navbar appears properly. some notes : 1. I syncronised modules on both installations 2. I am able to run ALL of the samples on both installations 3. There are no spaces in the folder name (in fact they are the same) ??

can you check blitzmax/doc/bmxmods/navbar.html is present, if not you might want to try from the command line going to blitzmax/bin and typing bmk docmods then bmk syncdocs to see if that generates the file, if no go, maybe some sort of OS permissions issue is at work?

Skid, Thanks for the prompt reply. I tried the bmk docmods/ bmk syncdocs from cmdline was still showing whitespace in the navbar. EDIT: PERMISSIONS: right clicked on properties for navbar.html, it said "this file came from another PC and has been blocked. I clicked "UNBLOCK" and now it is working" I am a newbie with SP2 i guess :) Thanks for your help!

Did you use XP to unzip the beta? Or maybe that copy you did was "to" rather than "from" which does seem to be kind of wierd in XP, I always copy files from other machines rather than to as it seems to make a lot more sense to the security system.

I DID use the XP unzipper. I'll try the 7Z one and see what happens. I copied from the other PC.

it seems like the XP unzipper is locking all of the .html files on my PC. 7Zip extracted without a hitch. Thanks for your help. btw, great job on your work this Simon, This is a very impressive feat. The Docs are excellent.

Good lord. That must be a SP2 thing, surely it has to be turn-off-able somehow? That would screw a LOT of archives up...

In SP2, ANY html files with ActiveX will be blocked, but it is easy to either allow them or turn off blocker all together. Me, I would rather unblock some ActiveX everynow and then than have all the crappy adds popup on the Net.
