Portal - General Settings - Navigation Options

If we login to a Campus Solutions 9.2 PUM image (CS 9.2 PUM 4 in my example), we will notice that we have the old left hand navigation menu for the Classic pages even though we are using PeopleTools 8.55+.



How is this available only in Campus Solutions and not in other application pillars?

This is because of the Navigation Options - Type setting under PeopleTools > Portal > General Settings which is set up differently in Campus Solutions. If we want to enable the left hand menu navigation then we can set it to 'Left'. If we want to disable it, then we can set it to 'Drop-down'.

  1. I am trying to remove bread crumbs on the classic components..Initially it comes up fluid. But when selecting a classic component the Bread crumbs show up.. I have tried the branding header... and the general settings Removing Favorite options and Menu text Options... But it still shows up.

    1. Are you on PeopleTools 8.54? Because if you are on 8.55, then the by default the breadcrumbs should be disabled?

      If you are on 8.54, you want to find the Header that is used in your Branding Theme. Then go to the following navigation:
      PeopleTools > Portal > Branding > Define Headers and Footers
      - Search for your header
      - Delete ptdropdownmenu (assuming it is your custom header)

  2. we are using 8.55 Right now everything is set to Default...
    *Default Branding Theme: Defualt_Theme_FLuid
    Default Style Sheet PSSTYLEDEF_TANGERINE

    I look at Demo it looks the same but the BCrumbs dont show up...
    Is the Theme pointing different for Classic and Fluid options

    1. If you are using the Default Theme, Header and Stylesheet then you really should not be having this problem.

      You may want to check if someone accidentally did any of workarounds mentioned in this blog to display the dropdownmenu:

  3. I checked above to add Crumbs back in and it is not there. I looked at DMO23 and it works correctly.. and it is the same as my development.. I even deleted [ptdropdownmenu] and still shows up... it is crazy

    1. Hi William - The only thing I can think of is cache. You may want to clear the cache on your web server domains as well as clear your local browser cache/cookies.

      As I said before, if everything is default then it should work as expected and as in your demo. It is strange!

    2. Found it.. Someone put CSS at the end uncommitted... took me a compare to find it. Once removed everything worked as expected.

    3. Great! Glad you found the cause.

      Did you compare all CSS objects between your DMO and DEV?

  4. Yes ... It drove me nuts a little. But I found it
