    Hello,

    did you install the house of nuke menu? Do your other menu items display?

    The admin and host menus should display in the left column underneath your other menu items.

    Thanks,

    ok, you will need to install the housemenu and then re-install the skin for it to work correctly.

    The installation instructions are here:

    Andreas 01

    Make sure you download the

    HouseMenu SkinObject version 1.4

    NOT the module

    Thanks,

    Ok, I have dowloaded the HouseMenu SkinObject 1.4, but without Admin and Host menu, how should I install it in my portal?

    Sorry Mr. Lee, I have seen all Videos about the HouseMenu, but still I do not know, how I can install HouseMenu SkinObject without to have access to the menus "Admin" and "Host".

    Thank you in ahead

    hello,

    okay you can install a module using FTP.

    Go to your DotNetNuke installation files and the install folder / module folder

    FTP into that folder the skin object zip file.

    Then go to a browser and enter:

    http://www.yourdomainname.com/Insta...lResources" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.yourdomainname.com/Insta...lResources


    This will install the skin object.

    Once you have installed the skin object you will need to reinstall the skin, so if you still do not have access to the admin menu go to:

    FTP - install folder / Skin folder

    Upload the skin.zip file

    Then go to a browser and enter:

    http://www.yourdomainname.com/Insta...lResources" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.yourdomainname.com/Insta...lResources

    This will reinstall the skin



    A quick tip - if you are experimenting with new skins, do not apply them to the whole website, just apply them to a single page and then if a problem occurs you will not have problems accessing the admin and host menus.

    Thanks,
