What does it do?
Removes the
main_nav_parentanduser_nav_parentsystem settings. The manager header controller now uses fixed menu container names (topnavfor main menu,usernavfor user menu) instead of reading these options. The two settings are removed from the core transport and from all setting lexicons; an upgrade script (3.3.0-pl) deletes any existing records from the database on upgrade.Why is it needed?
These settings confuse users and do not behave intuitively (e.g. setting
user_nav_parenttotopnavcan break menu display). Menu structure is already managed in the Menu section with fixed Main/User menu areas, so the extra system settings are redundant and add support burden.How to test
main_nav_parentoruser_nav_parentinsystem_settings, run setup in upgrade mode to a version that runs 3.3.0-pl. Confirm the upgrade log shows removal of those settings and manager menus still work.Related issue(s)/PR(s)
