Skin Objects/Tokens

Are there Skin Objects/Tokens for displaying the following items?

Page Title (i.e., similar to [TITLE] for module containers)
Hit Counter (e.g., "Website viewed [HITCOUNTER] times")
Date Last Updated (e.g., "Page last update: [LASTUPDATED]")

Thanks.

In Christ,

Chris

Re: Skin Objects/Tokens

AFAIR [PAGETITLE] is available (or have a look at dnnjungle.vmasanas.net), there are modules for hit counters, but date last updated is not available, since modules do not report updates back to the portal framework currently.

Unfortunately, [PAGETITLE] does not seem to be a recognized token but, thanks anyway. There does not seem to be much on the DNNJungle site you mentioned. I guess I will have to keep looking.

Thanks.

That was a good question, May be it is possible to nominate one module like Text/HTML to register the write/update date and feed it to a module/skin token.

I need to look at that.

Re: Skin Objects/Tokens

check out the skinning doc, all supported Skin Object (tokens) are listed in there.

DNN 5 will allow for more flexibility using the [Text] skin object, which supports core token replace, which gives you more flexibility and a bunch of additional tokens and formatting options.
