I can replicate this issue in 1.0.3.

To reproduce:

1. Add a new menu item in design -> Menu tool.
2. Name it ("test")
3. Set the text ("Test")
4. Set the link ('index.php')
5. Set the parent ("Home")
6. check store front - new drop down item appears in the menu under "Home" listing.
7. Return to Design -> Menu page - no new entry for the Test menu object.
8. Clear browser cache - reload Design -> Menu page - still no new entry seen.
9. Clear site caches (minus error log) - no change
10.  Check error log:

Code: [Select]

did you select parent item at design-menu-heading ? i found new item there

[Nimitz1061]

No.  I did not.

There really is no good visual cue to prompt the user to do so.

However, once I did, I do also find the entry, as you describe.

I would still describe this as a UI flaw based on two things.

The lack of visual cue, and the need to take multiple actions to achieve a single result.

The old fashioned folder icon which 'opens' the page to the contents of a parent may be old fashioned, but it definitely is well known and effective.  In fact, I've got a couple of customers who are pretty upset about the possibility of losing this UI affect if they migrate their carts.

Oh.  One more silly behavior here.

I deleted the test menu entry.  It did not go away from the drop down menu, even after successfully deleted from the database.

To view/edit children menus, you need to select drop down with parent menu right above menu listing.

We have corrected some warnings.

 Thank you very much.

And addition, how to create a menu with extern link?

[abantecart]

for external link you need to add http:// in front of URL, but I found 1 small bug in this section that is fixed for next release.
