HTML Skinning - Conversion to ascx?9/27/2005 1:10:21 PM

0/0

For HTML skins, is the only way to create the ascx to package and upload the skin or can they the files just be put into a skin folder directly and used?

html must be *installed*.  You cannot ftp a html skin and have it work - but you can ftp an ascx skin as it already has the controls in the page.

So there is no way to regenerate any changes unless you uplaod the entire package again correct?

If you FTP download and change the .ascx page that is created in the skin directory after the html skin is parsed and the .ascx page is created, and then FTP it back up and thus overwrite the .ascx page on remote server, you can change it like that without reuploading the html skin package. The key is changing the .ascx page and not the html page.

BTW>> I do have a little tip. You can make changes to.ascx pages in Dreamweaver quite easily. FTP Download the CSS file(s) as well so you can apply the CSS file design time to your .ascx page if you so choose by going to Menu > Text >  CSS Styles > Design-time and selecting the CSS file so you can view it applied to your .ascx page.

To elaborate on the CSS Design-time stylesheets...I should mention that you can apply more than one stylesheet at a time, thereby including the skin.css, default.css, and portal.css hierarchy of stylesheets to view the resulting styles.

You can use FTP to upload a skin in html format

If you FTP a uniquely named folder underneath ...portals/_default/Skins,  DNN will recognise this folder but it will not detect any skins (because none have been created yet).

If your FTP'd folder includes a skin.html, simply reparse the skin from Host>Skins, this will generate the skin.ascx

The reparse text link will show once you find the folder name from the skin dropdown list at the skin management page.

If you FTP to a portal specific then you would do the same thing but upload the folder to underneath ...portals/X/Skins and parse it via Admin>Skins.

So the reparse will regenerate the files? ie you can upload just the HTML and related files and generate a new ascx each time you make changes?

Yes, reparsing will create the ascx files from your source files (html & xml) or re-create if the skin ascx is already present.
