LeftMenu disappears with DNN Version 9.1 upgrade

263 views Asked by At

I'm using DNN Evoq Basic Version 9.1. I recently upgraded from Version 8.5. Upon upgrading, one of our website's left menu navigation has disappeared.

We are using the following code in our .ascx file:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LEFTMENU" Src="~/Admin/Skins/leftmenu.ascx" %>
<dnn:LEFTMENU runat="server" EnableAdminMenus="true" ID="LM" />

I traced the source file and it still exists in the file structure. Is this code still valid in Version 9.1? If so, how do I make it work again?

Thanks.

Jennifer,

I haven't found anything definitive by Googling, but I did look at the source for an older version. The file LeftMenu.ascx.cs references the Telerik.Web.UI.

As Telerik components are being removed from DNN, and DNN 9.1 was a breaking point with most of the Telerik components being replaced, I'd be willing to bet that the LeftMenu is no longer part of DNN. If you review the discussion leading to DNN 9.1, you'll see lots of references to this and to breaking changes related to Telerik.

That's the bad news. The good news is that you should be able to replace the LeftMenu with an instance of DDRMenu and some appropriate CSS styling.

Feel free to ask me for more details if that would help, or point me to the older version of the site -- if that's still possible.
