Well it actually looks like two paths concatenated together:

C:\inetpub\development\content\plugins\saml-20-single-sign-on\saml/cert/C:\inetpub\development/content/uploads/saml-20-single-sign-on/etc/certs/1/1.cer

The first of the paths is invalid, there is not a cert directory, instead it is certs.

The certificate and key exist at:

C:\inetpub\development\content\uploads\saml-20-single-sign-on\etc\certs\1

And are IIS readable.

Interesting development: Instead of giving me a 404 error on the images, it gives me a 500 (a distinction I must have missed earlier).

Upon looking closer at the file system:
From my computer (a remote machine), it does not show the full-size images.
From the server, it shows them, but any attempt to view them causes an “Access denied” error.

Digging deeper, The permissions on the original file are getting changed, such that they’re not viewable by IIS_IUSRS. If I set it to read and Execute, the file is then viewable.

In the upload.php file, I noticed that you’re using a chmod command (chmod($current_file, 0644)) to change the files permissions. This seems to be the culprit, because commenting it out and trying another replacement allows the process to work properly.

Perhaps a check for the server OS would be in order to prevent chmod’ing of the file on Windows.

I thought so too, initially, but all my paths are set properly. The replacement of the thumbs happens flawlessly, but the full size image is never created.

What function are you using to determine the upload path? Maybe I can use that to determine if any paths are indeed incorrect.

Another Update:

For some reason it started working again. Not sure what I did to change anything, but it’s working

I had hoped that this would not become a discussion about switch_to_blog(), but rather to deal with the original question: What is the best method of having a network wide menu, complete with hierarchy. The link that Andrea sent does only half the job. The hierarchy is the really important part. The problem remains that I cannot “drill into” navigation with custom menu items.

I am going to be investigating some queries today to pull my navigation tree based on the current location.

One side note (since we were talking about switch_to_blog()): the codex makes no mention of this function being administrative in nature. It’s highly likely that I am using other functions through my site that are also “administrative” as well. Would it be possible to somehow flag which functions are meant for front-end use and which ones are solely for admin use? The afore mentioned function’s codex page (http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/switch_to_blog) seems to be written from a “front-end” point of view; talking about pulling posts from other blogs, and such. Just a thought. This is my first MAJOR WordPress site, so I am relying heavily on the codex.

Actually, the last thing you mentioned is the easy part:

function get_sph_nav($menu,$leftMenu='')
{
	switch_to_blog(1);
	$returnMenu = wp_nav_menu(set_menu_options($menu,$leftMenu));
	restore_current_blog();

	return $returnMenu;
}

That gets the nav from the main blog and returns it. I have many menus, so, hence the function. set_menu_options simply returns an array of arguments.

I was just thinking about this, and I think what I will have to do is write some custom queries that looks at the URL and then gets the appropriate navigation tree. Once I have that, I can use a walker class to iterate through the array.
