Just come across a similar problem to the above.  The reason this happened for
me was because I was using the "AdvancedContent" module for all my page content
types.

In "functions.utils.php" the "create_page_dropdown()" function queries the db
for all content with the type "content".  As AdvancedContent uses "content2" the
function wasn't returning any results.

Two ways to fix this, either modify the above function to look for "content2" as
well as "content" or make at least one active page have the type "content".

I solved the problem as you can read in the forum:

was probably a problem with the CMSMS core.

The problem still exists.
The solution would be very easy, just a change of 2 lines code of your module,

The problem is that the function to create the dropdown selects only pages of a
certain contenttype based on the *name* of the contenttype.
IMHO this is no good idea. It would be better to select pages of a certain
contenttype based on a certain *property* of the contenttype.
E.G. the ContentBase class of the core has a function called IsViewable() (see:
/lib/classes/class.ContentBase.php)
This can be used as a property to determine if the page can be used as a
returnpage and may be listed in a pagedropdown.

So my idea would be to first get a list of contenttypes where IsViewable() ==
true.
After this select only those pages from the db where the contenttype is in the
viewable contenttype list.
So you would have a real solution that does not depend on the name of a
contenttype but on its function.

Just my two cents.

Kind regards
