@Scott-B What have you set in the “Advanced Menu Command” field?
It’s blank and uneditable.

@Scott-B As mentioned yesterday you need to disable Firefox Add-in AdBlock Plus to see the field. Not sure why that is but I figured that was blocking the field for me. Pretty sure it’s the same for you.

Doh! I must have only allowed it temporarily. The field is there now. It’s blank.

@Scott-B You need to define a proper menu code yourself. The

OK great this is what we were seeing in the database with our sql query. Somewhere along the way this field must have been reset. You will need to hand code this menu entry for it to work correctly. I can tell you that by using the boot.php url I provided below which was displayed in your browser, you can see the structure of what you need to include in your advanced menu design.
@Sebastian-Roth what kind of shady stuff are you doing to have that field blocked by the ad blocker?? <just kidding> I wonder why this field still exists? If you look in the ipxe menu configuration there is a field Menu show on, some options are Advanced menu and Advanced menu with password. Were these options never implemented? I had the idea to make just a checkbox in the ipxe menu configuration to be advanced menu but it looks like someone already thought of that??

Yeah I was mislead by that as well. Those two are just the entry points for the Advanced Menu. Without login -> no ipxe code needed -> will lead you straight to Advanced Menu Command definition. With Login -> do the Login (defined in the menu entry) -> then on successful login run same Advanced Menu Command. Might be a bit confusing at first.

Marking this solved now as I have just pushed a fix to the
dev-branch…Seems like not very many people use this stuff at all. The issue has been in the code for a long time - even in 1.5.0 and probably earlier (didn’t look back further). But possibly this issue came up with an update of iPXE. Anyway, should be fixed now.

For anyone who may find this thread down the road below is the quick advanced menu I wrote for this thread.

@Scott-B Be aware that I just re-added the
#!ipxestuff as other users told us the advanced menu is broken for them now: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13230/advanced-menu-bugThis is only in the current development version but it will also be in the next release 1.5.7. Just so you know in case you update to that or a later version at some point in time.
