I am trying to get an older skin to work with DNN 8.

Upon upgrade from 7.x to 8.0.0.4 I get a js error DDRjQuery is undefined.  I have narrowed this error down to the dnn:NAV skin object.  The error goes away when I comment this skin object and its definition out of the skin .ascx file.

I looked into this a bit and I found that DDRjQuery is defined in /DesktopModules/DDRMenu/js/DDRMenu.js but this file is not referenced.

The NAV skin object remains listed under Host, Extensions and there is also an example for its usage in the DDRMenu user guide but I am at a loss as to how else I could be setting it up in my skin and what could be wrong.  I also can't find a working example in any of the newer default skins that come with DNN.

Anybody have a working example?  Below is what I have.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAV" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" %>

<dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DDRMenuNavigationProvider" IndicateChildren="true" IndicateChildImageRoot="[SKINPATH]images/menu-arrow.png" IndicateChildImageSub="[SKINPATH]images/sub-menu-arrow.png" CSSNodeRoot="mainmenu-idle EMMainMenuItemOff EMMainMenuFont EMMainMenuFontSize" CSSNodeSelectedRoot="mainmenu-selected EMMainMenuItemOn EMMainMenuFont EMMainMenuFontSize" CSSNodeHoverRoot="mainmenu-selected EMMainMenuItemOn EMMainMenuFont EMMainMenuFontSize" CSSBreadCrumbRoot="mainmenu-breadcrumbactive EMMainMenuItemOn EMMainMenuFont EMMainMenuFontSize" CSSRightSeparator="mainmenu-separator" CSSNode="mainmenu-menuitem EMSubMenuItemOff EMMainMenuFont EMSubMenuFontSize" CSSContainerSub="mainmenu-submenu EMMainMenuFont EMSubMenuOpacity" CSSNodeHoverSub="submenu-menuitemsel EMSubMenuItemOn EMMainMenuFont" NodeLeftHTMLRoot="&lt;span class=&quot;tab-left trans-png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/spacer.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;" NodeRightHTMLRoot="&lt;span class=&quot;tab-right trans-png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/spacer.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;tab-sep trans-png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/spacer.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;">

</dnn:NAV>

I believe I found the code that caused this behavior and it may be a bug.  https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Pl...

In this revision, the author is allowing the DDR xml template to reference jQuery scripts without specifying the path.  The problem is that the DDRjQuery object is also given this capability in a different part of the code.  However, the revision overrides this capability and now any scripts tags in the xml template that have only a jsObject attribute without a path specified will be ignored.  This is why the code that instantiates the DDRjQuery object is no longer emitted.

I am attempting to determine the version that this bug was introduced so I will limit my upgrade to just before that version.
