Links on tabs turned into /user/%/edit, /user/%/contact, node/%/edit, admin/structure/types/%/fields, etc. Also, the links on Administration Menu module have the same issue.

Here's what I did so far.

  1. I've cleared all cache via Admin Menu -> Flush all cache, via Development -> Performance and via emptying MySQL cache_* tables. Didn't solve.

  2. I noticed that tabs are themed by the menu_local_tasks() function. I traced the function to includes/menu.inc, where I found the following snippet, which makes me think it might be related to this function.

 

* For example, the ancestors of node/12345/edit are:
 * - node/12345/edit
 * - node/12345/%
 * - node/%/edit
 * - node/%/%
 * - node/12345
 * - node/%
 * - node

UPDATE: Where is '%', of the above URLs, being populated? I want to be able to trace it.

  • and what happens when you click on node/%/edit ? These are menu router items which i believe you already know.

  • It shows that the page could not be found. I have no clue what menu router items are. Commented Oct 3, 2012 at 20:36
  • Where does '%' get populated? Commented Oct 3, 2012 at 20:41
  • menu router is an entry to register a particular path. node module registers node/%/edit, node/%/revisions, node/%, etc paths so it can use arguments in place of "%" sign. By default, when you see a menu, you should not see the "%" sign. Instead, these paths should be actual paths with value replaced.

  • You should read about wildcard in menu system. api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!system!system.api.php/… . So in case of node/%/edit the % can be replaced by an integer and that integer can be passed as argument to the page callback or access callback. You can also have wildcard autoloaders like node/%node/edit now in this case %node will pass that value to node_load function. Read the hook_menu function for more information. Also refer to drupal.org/node/102338 for more examples.

    good that you found the solution. Hence it is said NEVER HACK DRUPAL CORE ;-) I think that may be the reason that you also got a downvote for the question.

    ...now that I'm thinking, I should of phrase the q'n to ask what was causing the issue, not why it happened. Oh well, better answer some questions to make up for the negative reputation! Commented Oct 4, 2012 at 8:27
