Ubercart

I have the three settings pages once I click the edit tab.

In addition to posting the question here and at Drupal.org, I plaintively asked on my own site, http://www.drupalace.com/blog/2010/06/testing-ubercart-ecommerce-please-... . That includes a screen shot showing what the page *should* look like, which makes it easy to understand what I was seeing instead.

Now I'm going to sheepishly – if tentatively – retract it all. I've been unable to find any other folks with the same problem, suggesting that it's truly a bizarre quirk of my own setup, and not a Drupal or Ubercart problem per se, with a clean answer floating about out there. In the end, I tried "joggling" things: clearing cached data in admin/settings/performance (even though I have cache disabled); and, disabling and then re-enabling Ubercart modules. Somehow, those actions did the trick: I now get the missing tabs.

As happens with Drupal problems now and then, it's a welcome but unsatisfying resolution; it's the equivalent of smacking a TV to make the picture come in, without revealing anything about the source of the problem, how to prevent it happening again, and what to do if a future recurrence proves more stubborn. Sigh. In any case, things do look to be working again, and I am grateful for the kind responses.

For anyone running across the same problem and this post in the future: You may be facing a "gremlins" issue and not a clear problem to be reasoned out. Try purging with any and all caches, disabling and re-enabling modules, and just general fiddling with things. Heck, try giving the monitor a few knocks; that just may do it. : /
