hello, this is my first post



I have a custom skin I am working on in dnn 6.1.1. Everything is working fine except for the menu. I have customized the dnnmega.css file (i copied and pasted the DNNMega folder from the default dark knight skin into my skin folder) to change the look of the menu, but for some reason that css file is not being applied/included in the skin pages.



My skin code is attached because when i pasted it into this it ignored all line breaks:



When the page is loaded in browser, the menu appears with no styling, just a plain unordered list. When I look at the source in firebug, the hover actions that display the drop down for child pages is also not being triggered. So I think the JavaScript and css files are not being "linked" into the page when rendered. Can anyone help me figure out why?



Thank you in advance

Does the css file get loaded?

Not that I can see. If I add an explicit import to the skin.css importing dnnmega.css. It will apply the styles. However I don't think this is how it is supposed to work. The associated JavaScript files in the dnnmega folder are not loading either.

Thanks for your time

Did you rename the template?

Sorry. I am new to DNN and have been learning by deconstructing the default elements that come with an instal. What do you mean by rename the template?

Thanks

When you copied the DNNMega folder into your skin folder, did you change any filenames?

no I did not, which ones do i need to change? I obviously missed an important step

If you did not change names, then it should be working. I would need to see into your site to know more.

is there an email I can send you a temporary login credential. What level would you need?

okay, so I feel very foolish,

I was comparing the dnn control declarations,skin css, xml, etc and everything, but what I did not look at was the bottom of the DarkKnight Skin ascx files which included the following:



Once I included that in all my skin files it worked. What a simple thing to overlook. Sheesh

thank you Joe for your time - you helped me narrow down my oversight, I used firebug to see which css and js were loading and my skin files were missing the above files. I eventually found my mistake.

Well, to your credit you posted the skin file in your first message. Shame on me for not noticing ...

ha ha, no shame for trying to help. Thanks again
