[SOLVED] Can't add menu top links to top horizontal menu

[spring00]

I am using prestashop 1.5 and the top horizontal module. It won't let me add my own links via the 'Add a menu top link' option. It seems to work and I get the green 'The link has been added' note at the top of the screen but it hasnt been added.

I've used this module on other sites and its worked fine. I've reset the module but it didnt help. I have this error message at the bottom of the page

Fatal error in module smarty_internal_cacheresource_file:
filemtime(): stat failed for /home/public_html/cache/smarty/cache/fc843e7fdefb3480ee376ad0e70968f98a86b3ea.blocktopmenu.tpl.php

I've tried clearing the cache/smarty/cache folder but that hasn't helped either. Can anyone help me please?

(ps I've searched the forum and I know some people solved this problem by turning off multisite but I dont have multsite switched on)

In case this helps someone else, in the end I uninstalled the module and reinstalled it several times and finally it worked. This has been the solution to many of the problems I've come across with prestashop 1.5.3 so give it a go.

I am experiencing same issue - PS1.5.3.1 in a Xampp ubuntu test enviroment with multishop turned on and i am  having this issue with all 3 connected shops. 

 

In main shop / modules i get this error at the bottom of main modules page  : 
[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module 2c2044f6994ba63dadb58dd818f3a623a28cbef2.file.list.tpl:
Undefined property: stdClass::$id_currency

When i go to Modules /topphorisontal menu / Configure  - i recive this error 

 

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module smarty_internal_cacheresource_file:

filemtime(): stat failed for /opt/lampp/htdocs/prestashop/cache/smarty/cache/ed65e8c8481655d7b36d154260ef2e2affc02136.blocktopmenu.tpl.php

 

I cant add pages or menus to the sites  - it takes "old" menus and adds to the test site .. i cleared smarty/cache  - emptied it - and even copied the files back and fort. Uninstalled the module - restarted server  - installed module - same issue. 

Any ideas ? ..
