I'm developing an ultra-simple website using DNN 6 of just a few pages where the necessity of a search box is a non-starter. How can I remove it?

I've found what I thought was the answer here: http://www.dnncreative.com/Forum/ta...;Link]

but it refers to a .ascx file that I don't have (I have only one - main.ascx) and then indicates to edit lines in the .ascx file - lines that aren't even similar to those in my main.ascx file!

Surely there must be a "switch" in the DNN configuration to simply show or not show this often-not-desired component - isn't there?!

The skin I'm using is a freebie called Charleston and I've got another problem with it as well. The skin's demo page at http://www.dnnstyle.com/charleston/...Frame.aspx shows some lovely "photo frame" containers that can seemingly hold pictures. But I can't figure out how to use them! I add an HTML module to a page (or a Media module, for that matter), put a picture in it, then choose one of the listed photo frame containers - and nothing changes!

The ascx file in question is your skin file.

To remove the search box, you can edit your skin tomeliminate it.

Thanks. Even though the details were different, I figured things out by simply deleting from the skin file anything in the section referring to the search box.

Can anyone offer me any help with the second problem?

Cheers!

For the second problem, if you change a container and cannot see it, I would expect that you have the module's setting to "Display Container" unchecked. If you check it, it should appear.

Thanks, Joseph - but I've already thought of that one and should've mentioned it initially. I've got the "show container" box checked, but still no nice picture frame border!

From a quick look at the demo site for the Charleston skin, it looks like the container styles are defined in /charleston/Containers/PhotoFrame.aspx. If you installed the skin as a host skin, the containers will be located in _default/Containers.

If you aren't seeing the correct backgrounds, I would guess that there is some problem with the way that the containers are installed. I'd need to look at your website directory or a page on your site that uses the containers to make a more definitive statement.

Joe;

Your help has been very appreciated already and I want to pursue fixing this problem with your aid - but don't want to be posting usernames and passwords on a semi-public like this! Please e-mail me at iwbowden@gmail.com so that I can provide you with the details and hopefully solve this bothersome problem!

Cheers!

Ian
