My Skin says "You are here"... How do I change it?

It is rather usual to find that Skins for DotNetNuke include the text "You are Here" before the BreadCrumb element. The BreadCrumb element is a Skin Label used to indicate which page of the site the user is navigating, and its hierarchical position within the site. It looks more or less like:

You are here >> Home - Products - Details

Where the user is supposed to be navigating the "Details" page that depends on "Products" and then on "Home".

The solution is the following: Inside the DNN installation look for the folder ~\Portals\_Default\Skins\ and within that, the Skin's folder for the currently applied Skin.

Then, among the Skin files having an extension .HTML and/or .ASCX, look for the text 'BREADCRUMB'. The text "You are here" should be located before that label.

The next step is to modify that text or just remove it, which is usually the most convenient solution if the portal has more than one language enabled (ML - Multi Language). Take care to not remove the BREADCRUMB label! ;-)
