Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have recently installed DNN 4.8 and used the HouseMenu 1.2.1 on a previous version just fine.

After installing, the menu works well except that it appears the ShowHome="False" option no longer works and the "Home" link is appearing the navigation. I've unchecked the "Show In Menu" option for the Home page's settings and still no results. 

Here is the code from my skin's ASCX file:

< dnn:housemenu runat="server" id="dnnHOUSEMENU" scope="-1" showadmin="True" isrecursive="True" orientation="V" mode="S" stylename="Gray" csselementid="Navigation" showhome="False" showpageicons="False" >

I've also tried removed the ShowHome property completley but I get the same results.

Any thoughts??

Thanks!

This may have cropped up in the later versions of DNN as the 'show in menu' option changed. - I'm not sure how you can get around this. - If it is essential for your website you may have to test the snapsis menu as I don't think you will get a quick update fix to the HouseMenu skin object.

Let us know if you find a solution,

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, Lee.

I haven't found a solution as of yet. I want to try to avoid having to purchase anything due to a low budget but I will look into the menu you suggested.

Can you elaborate more on the changes to the "show in menu" option? I might be able to customize a solution if I had a little more background.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what the changes were, in a recent version they changed the naming of it from something like hide to show in menu, and moved the position of it in the page settings - that's all I know, I don't know if any programming changes actually occurred.

- you may need to compare a version 4.4 with 4.8 and see if you can spot the changes, thanks,

Thanks Lee.

I found a temporary solution to the problem with a little javascript. The housemenu assigns an ID to the Home button called "NavigationItemHome". I wrote a little javascript to find the tag and set it's display to "none". It's not the best solution and there are some definite cons to using it but it works for now. I've pasted the javascript below for anyone having a similar problem:

*******

<script language=javascript>
window.onload = function(){
  var objHomeButton
  if (document.getElementById)
  {
    objHomeButton = document.getElementByID('NavigationItemHome').style;
  }
  if (document.all)
  {
    objHomeButton = document.all['NavigationItemHome'].style;
  }
  
  if (objHomeButton)
  {
    objHomeButton.display = 'none';
  }
}
</script>

*******

Thanks for your help.

I know you posted a work around here, but I just wanted to let you all know that I experienced the same issue. I have two sites that use the menu in DNN 4.7 and I am able to set ShowHome=False and get expected results; however, in another site I have using 4.8.02, the Home menu item is displayed regardless of the setting. If I figure anything out, I will post here -- until then, I may need to use your javascript workaround. Thanks!

I've noticed that there is a new version of House menu available. Perhaps that might help.

Experienced the same issue in 4.9.2 DNN

I fixed it in the CSS...

li#HouseMenuNavItemHome
{
display:none;
}
worked for me.
