I am using v1.4 of the House Menu.  I have a site with a home page skin and a subpage skin.

On the home page skin, I do not want to show the link for the home page.

I thought that setting ShowHome="False" would fix that, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Below are the properties I have set for my HouseMenu skin object.

id="dnnHOUSEMENU" Scope="-1" ShowHome="False" ShowAdmin="True" IsRecursive="True" Orientation="H" Mode="D" CssElementId="primary-nav"

Everything else about this control is working perfectly.   Please help me keep the home page from showing up in the menu!

Thanks for the free software. 

I was also having this problem with a site I was working on.  DNN Version 4.08.00 using the HouseMenu SkinObject (dll version 1.4.1.15333).

Specifically setting ShowHome="false" works if scope is set to "0", but not if scope is set to "-1".  Even If I modify the settings of my home page and un-check display in menu the home link appears in the House menu (but not in any SolpartMenus).

I was able to create a hack to bypass the problem, unfortunately you can only use it if you are skinning in visual studio.

On Page_PreRender run the following code in your skin's codebehind. You may want to wrap in a try catch because it is not bullet-proof.  Code is written in C# (replace HouseMenu1 with the ID of your HouseMenu SkinObject and make sure to include "using System.Xml" ):

foreach (Control thisControl in HouseMenu1.Controls)
{
    if (thisControl != null && thisControl.ID == "litMenu" )
    {
        Literal litMenu = (Literal)thisControl;
        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

        //Load the rendered html to a XML document
        xmlDoc.LoadXml(litMenu.Text) ;

        XmlNode HouseMenuNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("ul" ) ;

        //Grab and remove the first li item under the ul, this should be the home link.
        XmlNode HomeMenuNode = HouseMenuNode.ChildNodesΎ]
        HouseMenuNode.RemoveChild(HomeMenuNode);

        //Reset the text on the housemenu literal
        litMenu.Text = xmlDoc.InnerXml.ToString();
        }
    }
}
