Hi Lee
In your "Skinning Toolkit" tutorial you have css classes for the horizontal SolPartMenu. Are some classes specific to the vertical menu not mentioned in this article? If so where might I see an example of the classes for a vertical SolPartMenu? Or does it use the same classes as the horizontal menu, if so which classes do I need to edit to create a vertical menu?
In your tutorial "DotNetNuke SolPart Menu Uncovered" it is mentioned that the SolPartMenu can be used as either: Horizontal or Vertical Display.
Where might I see an example of a verticle SolPartMenu in action?
Thanks

Hi Lee,
i have been working through the skin videos from issues 5&6...
i got to a bit about making pure css skins and removing the solpart menu.
I'm a litte bit confused.
i was hoping to make a pure css skin (eventually) that features a vertical menu (something like www.itag.ie) .. so does this mean that I cannot use the solpart menu in a pure css skin? Or is it just that I have to remove the solpart menu from containers in a css skin?
Does that House Menu support the multlevel menu and submenus in the same way as on that site I'd like to emulate ? (ie: www.itag.ie)
Thanks

Ahh , great service as ever Lee, thanks very much.
Just one little addendum... I'm working through the tutorials, but I'd like to just see where I'm headed... so just wondering... though I haven't searched extensively for it... is there an example/tutorial that shows how to use images as background in a solpart menu?
Thanks

Yeah, thats the tutorial I'm currently following (at home in the evenings)
>But it doesn't use a background image for each element in the SolpartMenu.
heh, yeah, thats pretty much why I was asking..
>Does this help? - Or can you give an example of what you are trying to create.
Well, I don't want to put more work on you.... if you had a pointer to a complete skin that had
that feature that I could pick apart maybe?

Hello
It seems that the latest SolPartMenu tagprefix and skin reference has changed, see this post from main DNN forum:

Hi Vida,
I did have an example skin done for a client, but it's no longer online as they changed their mind and opted for a menu that had a single background image!
I would get through the tutorial and then start experimenting with the CSS code, you should find it's not too hard to implement.
- I would recommend that you view this tutorial as well:
Troubleshooting DotNetNuke Skins
It will help you when you come across any problems.
Hi Lynn,
Are you referring to the very last post? - The user has redefined the CSS classes in the skin.ascx file so that the naming makes more sense to them. - Is that what you mean, or I have I missed something?
Thanks,
Lee |

Hi Lee
The point I was making is that the more recent SolPartMenu (with new skin and tagfix references) might afford Vida, that little bit more, flexibility.
Whereas your tutorials and the SolPartMenu uncovered article (below) mention the slightly earlier version.

Lynn, Lee,
Thanks for your help.
I haven't gotten as far as the solpart menu uncovered article yet (had a look over it.. still parts I don't understand) but I think I should be ok when I get to it once I take the changes into account.
As long as I've seen the www.itag.ie site I know that what i want to do is actually possible so thats most of it really.
Thanks again,
Vida |
