Great site!

Maybe I'm doing this the wrong way. I'm trying to skin the Events module to match my "pure CSS" site. I'm using the Firefox tools to spelunk the style information for the Events module. Here's my (one of many) questions:

The Event module's base CSS has a class called ".containermaster_blue" with the following style:

border-right-width-ltr-source: physical;

What is this style and the other associated "-ltr-source" styles? And what is the easiest or prefered method to skin the Events module?

Thanks!
Mike

Hello,

Thanks!

Check which version of the events module you are using - in the latest v 04.00.02 that is part of dnn4.9.1 it has the option of themes.

Go to module settings / event module settings / theme skin

There are several themes you can already choose from, to create your own go to your DNN installation files:

Desktop Modules/ Events / Themes

and in there you will see some CSS code for styling

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Quick update. I do find that Chrome's inspector to be much more intuitive than Firefox's tools for inspecting the elements. Firefox's Web Developer tools provide more information on the underlying CSS styles - to some extent. It appears that Firefox's "View Style Information" tool for inspecting the CSS interprets the style information as noted above. The actual container.css has no reference to the "-ltr-source" type elements. My guess is that it has something to do with the "-moz-border-...." style elements within the .containermaster_blue class in the container.css file.

In any event, Firefox shows the classes and styles from the DesktopModules\Events\Themes\Default\default.css file. I also noticed another "Themes" directory. A google of this led me to the DNN site - http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community...fault.aspx

This has a brief explanation on how to modify an Events module "theme". In a nutshell, it states to copy an existing theme (i.e. the default.css file in that directory) and modify to your requirements.

Follow up will include whether to implement this as a skin/container or direct file manipulation.

Thanks, Lee. Just noticed your reply. My dev server has dnn4.8.3 with v 03.03.08 of the Events module. My pre-production server has dnn4.9.0 with v 04.00.02 of the Events module. I'll check out the themes.

I upgraded the dev box site from 4.8.3 to 4.9.1 using the upgrade download zip, extracting the zip package over my existing site directory (after backup). I browsed the site and the upgrade took place, as expected. I browsed to the Host/Module Definitions page and noticed Events Module 04.00.02 available. I selected the checkbox and did the Install Selected Modules link. This went too smoothly. I'm waiting for something to break.

let us know how it goes!
