    I've got the HouseMenu 4.1.1 beta loaded and installed the skins, container, and template.

    While installing the skins, I noticed the following message
    Token NOT found in attributes file: [DROPDOWNACTIONS]

    Anyway, when I apply the template I don't get the HouseMenu, I see a [HouseMenu] tag where the menu should be. 

    I'm not sure which skin and container to pick as default in site wizard.  I assumed the Index skin, and first container but don't know if this is right.  Suggestions.  (Getting back to Admin Site Wizard required using history since the menu was gone.)

    I'd certainly report the issues to House of Nuke.  Since this is a beta version, it's possible that you've encountered an error.  As for not getting the House Menu, I'd guess that you didn't specify it correctly.  I'd certainly recommend the tutorials on the House Menu.  In particular, take a look at:



    DROPDOWNACTIONS is a container object that is part of DotNetNuke.  If a container uses DROPDOWNACTIONS, then it must be referenced in the container as:

    [%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn"  TagName="DROPDOWNACTIONS" src="~/Admin/Containers/DropDownActions.ascx"%]

    It would be included in the skin with a line like this:

    [ dnnropDownActions runat=”server” id=”dnnDropDownActions”]

    (Note: replace [ and ] above with the "less than" and "greater than" type of brackets)


    Oh, and here's a recommendation - when installing a new skin, NEVER install it as the host or site's default skin or container.  Apply the skin first to a single test page to make sure that it works correctly.

    I would uninstall the skin and then re-install the HouseMenu skin object - Not the module object - double check you have the right version.

    The skins should be working fine with the [DROPDOWNACTIONS] token - I have tested them in the very latest versions of DNN and they work fine.

    - I would start again and then see if any errors occur, the HouseMenu should work fine.

    And as Joe says - only install it to 1 page when first testing. Thanks,
