I've recently installed the following version of DotNetNuke (see below) and added the skin and container but it seems to have made a mess of the layout.  I am using the default template which came with this version and apply the skin on top.  I have installed the House of nuke css menu as a module and added your skin without any problems. 

  • DotNetNuke version 03.03.07
  • .NET Framework 1.1.4322.2032
  • Data Provider sqlprovider

I am using this version of Dotnetnuke because my server runs the .net framework 1.1 ..... Is this the correct version to run these skin or do I have a older version ?

Any help would be appreciated it.

Thanks

It maybe the version of DNN that is the problem. -   In later versions of DotNetNuke, you can specify the Doc type of XHTML transitional in the skin code. - whereas in earlier versions of DotNetNuke you had to specify the Doc type in the main default.aspx file.

- this may be the reason behind your display issues, if you wish to try changing the Doc type to XHTML transitional have a look at this tutorial:
Browser Quirks, Standard Compliance modes and Doc Types

- I would test this out on a  local installation before applying to your live website incase it causes problems.

I amended the default.aspx as suggested and followed your advice from your link but it still generates code which is incompatible with the amended doc type. Putting it through W3C validator shows 160 errors but since some of the code is created when the page is requested I am unsure where to make further changes. I am keen in using a CSS menu and swapping to this doc type so the site is as accessible as it can be.

ok, to fix the validation errors, have a look here:

These are for a later version of DotNetNuke, but 3.7 should be very similar to 4.4, so you should be able to go through the recommended changes to the default.aspx file to fix up most of the validation errors.

I would follow videos 1-3 of the DotNetNuke 4.4 tutorial - video 3 to the point where we fix the text / html module and I would stop there for your version and see if you have fixed the majority of the problems

Hi Lee,

I checked your feedback from the forum after logging in but I cannot see how to access your videos and apply these changes.

Thanks

Hi Joe,

I found the web.config but the reference to the ihtmlconformance tag is not present in this version of DNN 3.3.7. I searched for the tag in the file but could not find it and wondered if it is found somewhere else??

Thanks
Peter

That means that the ihtmlconformance tag doesn't exist in DotNetNuke 3.3.7.

I presume that you know that version 3.3.7 is a fairly old version of DotNetNuke. It was released on 11/30/2006. If you can possibly upgrade to version 4 (currently 04.08.02 is the most recent version) I would recommend that you do that.

The main issues that you will face are upgrading to ASP.NET 2.x or higher, and having to deal with any custom modules that may need reworking.

The main benefit is that you'll be dealing with a substantially better version of DotNetNuke, and with modern features.

Yes because you are using an older version of DNN some of the elements in the video you will not be able to implement. If upgrading is not an option, I would just apply the elements that you can to your DNN version and you will be 90% of the way there.

I had a problem recently where the Andreas01 skin layout "collapsed" (the panes would not stay in their correct position). The reason was that I had deleted the XML files within the skin (index.doctype.xml etc).

Lee - what is the purpose of these files?

Hello,

index.doctype.xml sets the DOC TYPE for the file named index.htm

You can find further info here:
