Hi Lee

I have created a skin for DNN 4.3.4 which I have inserted a SolPartMenu, on one of the pages, based on your tutorial:

http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorial...fault.aspx

This is the skin settings:

<dnn:SOLPARTMENU runat="server" id="dnnSOLPARTMENU" forcedownlevel="True" level="Child" separator="&nbsp;|&nbsp;" />

This is the Tag Fix in my ascx skin:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MENU" Src="~/Admin/Skins/SolPartMenu.ascx" %>

Whilst all the other pages within the skin (without SolPartMenu) load and are displayed without a problem, when I try to insert the page with the SolPartMenu, I see this error:

Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/_default/Skins/........./admin.ascx Error: Unknown server tag 'dnn:SOLPARTMENU'.

I have styled the css SolPartMenu classes  to match my skin using  your Skinning Toolkit tutorial: Main Menu - SolPart Menu Styling Classes.  I first  put the css styling  into  default.css and now in my skin.css also, in an effort to see if it helped in any way.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Lynn

 

Hi Lynn,

If you are using:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MENU" Src="~/Admin/Skins/SolPartMenu.ascx" %>

You will need to use this token in your skin:
<dnn:MENU runat="server" id="dnnMENU" />

Or in html file you would use:

token: [MENU]

I will change the tutorial code to match dnn:menu

dnn:SOLPARTMENU is the old method which i didn't notice in the article by bi4ce.

Thanks,

Hi Lee

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Yes these settings work.

Cheers.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if it was ever a problem to anyone else. But my solpartmenu seems to jiggle on Mouse Over. Can someone help me with this? Unfortunately, my site is on a localhost so I can't show how it looks like at the moment.

This will be due to your CSS settings for the mouseover.

You can see which classes affect which parts of the menu on this website:

This video tutorial is also going to be officially released in issue 16 in a couple of days which helps you to troubleshoot your skins and is exactly what you need to do for working through the Solpart Menu.
