I tested the DNN:NAV menu with a user agent switcher to mimic Google and it doesn't render the menu very well. You only get the current tab with its children but not its siblings (which is not good IMHO). Anyone else having tested this?

DNN:Nav is the skin object that can use any underlying menu (solpart, dnnmenu, etc.).  I am not sure what menu is being used.  The way solpart and dnnmenu work is it uses the IsCrawler property exposed by asp.net to determine if it does downlevel rendering.  If so, then it will render the full menu.  To try it out go to http://webcontrols.dotnetnuke.com/dnnmenu.aspx and choose the IsCrawler checkbox.

It is possible that the useragent you are using is not detected by ASP.NET as a crawler. 

It is also possible that you have specified a different attribute to limit the nodes being populated.

By the way, what tool are you using to switch the useragents?

I use a firefox add (http://chrispederick.com/work/useragentswitcher/) in with the following settings:

<useragent description="Google bot 2.1" useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" appname="Google bot 2.1" appversion="2.1" platform="Google" vendor="Google" vendorsub="Bot" />

And as I test site I used: http://www.ninasfreeskins.com/xdnnlight/home.aspx (thanks nina) and a local one of my own.

Thanks for the info.  I did a few quick tests and am seeing what you are, which appears to be a bug.  I will hopefully get to look at this later this week (or early next week).

I have located the problem.  The fix will be included in the next major release (4.4). 

In case you don't want to wait until then, you can download the source for the webcontrols and modify this line in the DNNMenu\MenuNodeWriter.vb file

If objLastNode Is Nothing OrElse m_objNode.Selected OrElse objLastNode.ID = m_objNode.ID OrElse objLastNode.ID = strParentID Then

To

If objLastNode Is Nothing OrElse m_objNode.Selected OrElse objLastNode.ID = m_objNode.ID OrElse objLastNode.ID = strParentID OrElse Me.ForceFullMenu Then
