Hi, I have tested this and the main problem I see is that users can no longer break the inheritance for the top navigation bar. The navigation will always show from the site collection level down. Although it would be a worthwhile feature, users will still want the ability to control the navigation that appears along the top.
you save my day!
After doing this i lost my top link bar setting. How to i bring it back?
Hello DT,
Yes right, this will happen.
Top Link Bar display is depend upon Navigation feature, which is absent on Non-Publishing site.
To enable Top Link Bar again, execute below command:
stsadm –o deactivatefeature –name Navigation –url [url-of-site]
Let me know, if this helps you.
Thanks,
Nanddeep
hi...I execute your command :stsadm -o activatefeature -filename navigation\feature.xml –url -force
but it says it cannot find the xml file...is there anything missing?
Hi Nandeep,
