Hi Lee, I just watched my first video tutorial (issue #46) and all I can say is WOW...what a great resource! Your style of teaching is perfect for me...not too fast and not too assuming. Great job! I can't wait to watch the previous videos.
One question about this tutorial: I have Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition and would have thought that the pop-up elements would have appeared like they do with VWD Express, but they don't. Is there something that needs to be turned on in VS to see the elements available to me when editing the ASCX files?
Thanks again for this hard work you're doing.

Just wanted to drop a line to mention how excited I was to see this month's lead topic was on skinning with the ASCX method! I was just thinking it was about time for me to get into it as well. So anyhow I devoured those vids and am hungry for more. Will there perhaps be a continuation on the subject?

| When building the skin, you register the skinobject controls once for each time you use the skinobject in your ascx file e.g. in the tutorial you register the dnn menu twice for two instances of the menu. Is it possible to just register the menu once and then use it twice by changing giving the second instance a different id only e.g. dnnMenu1, dnnMenu2. |

Yes, I have seen almost all of those videos actually. I originally signed up to DNN Creative to learn more about skinning in particular, and your videos have been an invaluable resource! I believe these were the first ones to specifically focus on ASXC skinning though, no?
I suppose anything that falls under the category of "advanced skinning techniques" would be of interest to me. Just off the top of my head I might like to learn more about:
The DNNMenuNavigationProvider
I get the feeling I don't know the full capabilities of the default DNNMenuNavigationProvider. I know you like the HouseMenu (I've used it on a couple projects too -- it is nice), but nonetheless would be interested in doing some fancy things with the default menu. Isn't it a bit better than the SolPartMenu was? And maybe it can do some things the HouseMenu can't do?
jQuery
Maybe something about using jQuery to make photo slideshows or tabbed content within the text/html module?
Well anyway I'm what you'd call a 'satisfied' customer. I really do appreciate all your hard work and look forward to each issue. Thanks. |

Hello,
I've just checked that out and yes you can as long as you have a different id.
Thanks,

I thank you BIG TIME for the PDF version, I think I would have lost the will to learn about aspx if it wasn't for that option.
It wasn't a good surprise to see that I had to download all the videos in one file (over 334 MB Flash format zipped) and encounter 84 MBs of files for Video 1. Downloading the WMF files is smaller but still over 115MB. That seems to be about 3 times the file size of earlier files. If it's at all possible, please go back to one video per tutorial and reduce the file size. |

Its not possible to reduce the file size, but I would suggest you download wmvs because they are much smaller. I placed all of the videos into 1 zip file as other people have requested that they find it frustrating extracting all of the zips. Why don't you like downloading larger files I thought this would save you time?
I guess I could go back to the single download per video, but I would welcome anyone else's thoughts first, thanks,

i already tried it. But it doesn't do anything.
This is my head menu:
ControlOrientation="Horizontal" CSSControl="mainMenu" CSSNodeSelectedRoot="MenuRootItemSelected"
ExpandDepth="0" StartTabId="-1" PopulateNodesFromClient="false" ForceDownLevel="false"
ForceCrawlerDisplay="false" />
and this is the child menu:
ControlOrientation="Vertical" CSSNodeSelectedSub="MenuSubItemSelected" CSSControl="childMenu"
Level="Child" ForceCrawlerDisplay="true" PopulateNodesFromClient="true">
if i click on a childmenu my menu disappear (span is not visible i think)
see: www.placidus.be

1Pane_main.ascx I have viewed video 4 twice now. I have not done the tutorial yet so that may answer my question.
How does 1pane_main.ascx know that it is hooked up to 1pane_main.css? Is it the naming convention
Thanks

wow, please don't go back to 1 video per zip. It is so much easier to download once. I suppose if one had a very slow connection it might be a problem but down loading each file independently is exceptionally time consuming and labor intensive.
BTW - I loved this issue. |

| Hi Lee,
Im trying to work out how to change the color of the background down the left & right sides of the 1024 width skin?
Am using 05.01.00 (773)Community Edition.
Is this covered in one of your tutorials?
Keep up the great work! |

Do you want to change the background color outside of the content panes, or in them? Which skin?
Basically, you'll want to locate the object, and then change it's color in the CSS. Have you taken a look at Troubleshooting DotNetNuke Skins? The Web Developer's Toolbar is a handy tool you can use to identify parts of the page.

| Hi,
Turns out is
#Body
{
background: #cad2d4 repeat-x top left;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
in the skin.css file. in my case i removed the url link to the image & chnaged the color & BINGO !!
I wouldnt have been able to go close to working this out had it not been for Lee's skinning & nav menu tutorials.
Thanks so much DNN Creative |

Hi,
I am also having trouble using the pop-up feature only with Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. This feature works on the HTML tags but not on the skin objects.
Folders such as Admin and Portal are at the first level in the VWD explorer, so I must have opened up the web at the DNN root. I am using standard IIS 5.1.
Where does VWD find the references to the skin object attributes?
By the way, I love your videos! Thanks.

Could you ask the question differently? I'm not sure what the pop-up feature you are asking about is.
