Skin creatrion help needed.6/18/2005 10:58:43 PM

0/0

I am trying to create a skin for my site by converting an existing HTML design  into a DNN Skin.  I have 3 questions that I need help with...

1st, my current site design has 7 unique page layouts--  the home page, 5 sections which are all different but have the same general theme and a lot of the same elements, and the articel/content page.  If I want to keep this existing layout, do I need to create seven different skins?

2nd, I have noticed in looking at the code for other sites that are built using DNN that there seem to be multiple stylesheets.  Is this necessary or can there be just one main stylesheet.

3rd, why is it that on many custom DNN sites, it seems as though almost the whole page is part of a form?

~ dazed and confused.

d-logic, have a look at the documentation found in the documents/public/skinning documentation.doc and it will explain quite a few things for you.

If your layout is so unique, it's possibe you might need 7 different skins and normally I do about 3 - 5 in most sites to totally customise and suit clients needs, but understanding how the modules work might help also in you creating more diversity. eg. you might be able to use the html module to create the total look and feel of the site too, by using tables in the html to manage where some of the text/headings are put in. That's a very simplistic approach but might help you get started.

The only css file you really need to worry about is the skin.css file which is in the folder where the skins are.   The other css files are there as either refrence to modules to make sure their css classes are referenced, and the overall classes that aren't in the css file.

The only time you  generally need multiple css files in one skin folder is when you have differences in the menu or css classes that manage how the panes work.

If you spend a bit of time reading the document, you'll find it will answer alot of your questions.

I can't answer the 3rd question as I'm not really a coding expert..

Hope this helps and welcome to the DotNetNuke community and I hope you acomplish what you set out to do.

When you say 'why is it that on many custom DNN sites, it seems as though almost the whole page is part of a form?' are you referring to the html you see when  you view the source of a page? If so, the answer is that an aspx page is basically one big form that everything (skin, modules etc) is dynamically loaded into. But it doesn't affect the way you design your skins.

Regards, Nick
