Extensions menu wont open

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install using instructions
2. Refresh the page or even reboot
3. Hover over the extensions menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to see the extensions menu open and be able to select RSS, 
instead I see only the hover state of the button with no menu below it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FreeNAS 8.9
Downloaded RSS-FreeNAS70-31072010.tgz (renamed to RSS.tgz) and 
install-FreeNAS70.php (renamed to install.php)

Please provide any additional information below.
Setup seemed to go alright up until the point of opening the Extensions menu.

Are you using the LiveCD or Embedded version?

stanjanssen.94 - FreeNAS 8 is based on Python + DJango and I don't think has an 
extension menu at all.  Not sure what version you are actually using, but it 
should say on the main page when you access the WebGUI.

I'll get a VM going this weekend and see if I can narrow this down.

I've installed FreeNAS (fully) with a CD. When I enter the Web Admin. Interface 
I can see all the menu's, including Extensions. But it simply won't "drop down" 
like the rest does. So I am unable to select "RSS".

I've been "googling" around and can't find any other RSS-solutions for FreeNAS 
8.x, but will do some more research then.

Thanks for your help so far.

I believe I found the reason. The information below is directed to tresni

PHP code is not my strong area so please rectify any errors, you should however 
get the general idea from the below statements :)

The menu item "RSS" does not show up under Extensions because either the 
symlink between the file locations are not set up properly or the files are not 
copied correctly. I am such a php noob that I can't tell which is the intended 
procedure but I would guess that symlinking is preferred.

I have not tested if I have full functionality yet but at least I have the menu 
items after moving /path-to-rss-extension-files/RSS/www/* to /usr/local/www/* 
and renaming all the rss_* files to extension_rss_*

I also copied /path-to-rss-extension-files/RSS/sys/* to /usr/local/sys/* and 
edited /etc/crontab to run /usr/local/sys/cron.sh instead of the original path.

This obviously means I have a more static installation than simply symlinking 
into the share as specified in the instructions and that a manual deletion of 
all files is necessary in order to uninstall / upgrade.

I'll try embedded. I always use LiveCD (even when I install to disk) so that 
may be why I'm not seeing the same behavior when I test.  It sounds like 
strife242 is correct and something is not working or being overwritten when 
setting the symlinks at install.

I also have this issue - after an install of RSS-FreeNAS70-31072010.tgz with 
install-FreeNAS70.php following the instructions. I tried the install on a full 
version of 0.7.2 Sabanda (revision 5543). 

I get the appropriate info when running install.php, same as described at 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1186&start=200#p4
0552 but although the extensions menu appears, mouseover or click doesn't 
display the RSS item under the menu.

I tried creating the symlinks manually but couldn't get the menu to appear.

Running into the same ish. FreeNAS Full 0.7.9. Tried solution offered by 
strife242 and the RSS extensions option appeared in the menu, but clicking on 
it gets me 404'd. Noticed the browser is trying to look for 
'extension_RSS_*.php' so I prepended all the RSS php files with 'extension_' 
and at least I have access. Will update on whether or not it works.

Found the problem.  I b0rked the RSS.tgz download file.  I've uploaded a new 
RSS.tgz that will work, you probably have an RSS folder where you downloaded 
everything too, that can be deleted.

I'll reinstall it this afternoon and will let you know if everything is okay.
Thanks a lot (perhaps a bit in advance ;) )

Great feature though.
