Changes in navigation macro
[if you prefer the german version of this text please proceed to help.antville.org]

With the latest pre-release of Antville (version 1.1pre2) the support for the usernavigation.skin in the site.navigation macro is deprecated and it will be dropped at all in the final release.

If a site's skin is using the <% site.navigation for="users" %> or <% site.navigation  %> macro calls (which do exactly the same) there will be automatically added a "README" link to this story at the top of the user navigation.

To remove this link and thus to remain your site's functionality working and up-to-date with the current Antville development all you have to do is follow these simple steps:
  1. Be sure to be logged in as administrator at your site.
  2. Open the skin manager. The link to the skin manager is now present behind the "layout" link in your navigation ("skins"). If you should have more than one layout, you'll have to use the one marked as "active" by a vertical gray bar on the left.
  3. Edit the site's usernavigation.skin. If you are lucky, you will find this skin under via the "Custom skins" link in the skin manager's top menu. If not, you'll need to replace the site alias and layout id with appropriate values in the following URL:
    http://[siteAlias].antville.org/layouts/[layoutID]/skins/edit?key=site.usernavigation&skinset=site.
  4. Select the whole skin content and cut (or copy and delete) the selection. After that click the "Save" button.
  5. Now locate the skin using the site.navigation macro call as quoted above (hint: it resides in the "Main page" skin under "Site Layout" most of the time) and open it for editing.
  6. Replace the macro call with the contents of your clipboard (ie. paste the text you cut or copied from the usernavigation.skin at the place of the macro call). Finally, save the skin and you're done.
  7. If the README link should still be displayed somewhere there must be another skin containing the macro call. In this case, simply locate the call and replace it with the text fetched from the usernavigation.skin, too.
