Can the Skinning Team (or anyone) confirm that the followings are working properly in dnnMENU. If so, please show an example that it's successfully implemented.

CSSSeparator

CSSLeftSeparator

CSSRightSeparator

CSSLeftSeparatorSelection

CSSRightSeparatorSelection

CSSLeftSeparatorBreadCrumb

CSSRightSeparatorBreadCrumb

The above items are attributes that can be embedded in an ASCX file when you want to specify your CSS selectors. However, on numerous attempts, we (as many other deveplopers) have not seen any lights at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks,

Hi Cuong,

I use Telerik's RadMenu exclusively, but since no one else has responded maybe I can yield some insight into your problem.

To diagnose problems like these, I suggest looking at the menu navigation provider and seeing how the relevant values are being used.  Looking in Library/Providers/NavigationProviders/DNNMenuNavigationProvider/DNNMenuNavigationProvider.vb, I see the CSSSeperator attribute being used as follows:

If String.IsNullOrEmpty(SeparatorHTML) = False Then
 If CSSSeparator <> "" Then strSeparatorClass = CSSSeparator
 strSeparator = SeparatorHTML
End If

...

If String.IsNullOrEmpty(strSeparator) = False AndAlso strType = "All" Then 'strType <> "Left" AndAlso strType <> "Right" Then
 objMenuItem.LeftHTML &= GetSeparatorMarkup(strSeparatorClass, strSeparator)
End If

So, SeperatorHTML must be specified in order for this attribute to be used.  Once the strSeparatorClass is initialized, it is only used when strSeparator is non-empty AND strType == "All".  Only then is the generated markup value appended to the results.

Pretty confusing, huh?

I am a little rusty on these but these are all SolpartMenu stuff that are not supported at the moment in DNNmenu.

Yeah -- I suspected as much when I saw that those property definitions were all commented out in the provider source.

Salaro,

Thanks for the response. but according to this document written by Jon Henning (page 14), it clearly states that it is compatable with both SolPartMenu and dnnMENU. Is that right?
