DotNetNuke.Skin and DotNetNuke.Container were from DNN2 days. In DNN3 it was changed to DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin and DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container

It still worked all the way through DNN3 and so far in DNN4, but this backwards compatibility must have been removed.

Hi

Trust my question will be met with the familiar helpfullness that is DNN.
I've been working on a comprehensive skin for some time now - using DNN 4.9.0.  Its a Table-based XHTML 1.0 CSS 2.0 skin, and all was 100%.
I downloaded the new .VSI StarterKit for DNN 5.0, and installed it to check if my skin would work on 5.0.  All cool, except for the following CSS Class:

height: 100%;
My HTML Layout is as follows:

 

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="outertable">
    <tr>
        <td valign="top">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="innertable">
            <tr>
                <td valign="top">
                <dnn:USER runat="server" id="dnnUSER" cssclass="user" />&nbsp; |&nbsp;
                <dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" cssclass="user" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td valign="top" id="ContentPane" runat="server">my content goes here</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

 

My CSS is as follows:

 
html {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    margin: 0;
    height: 100%;
}
.outertable {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: #c50000;
}
.innertable {
    width: 960px;
    background-color: #fff;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

I have set my doctype as follows:

<SkinDocType>
    <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">]]>
</SkinDocType>
 

In DNN 4.9.1 the Outer Table displays the full browser height.  In 5.0.0, the Outer Table on displays the height of the inner table (i.e. not full height).  IE displays both fine, but IE is a lemon  browser.  I checked in FF 3.0.5, Google Chrome, Safari & Opera.

ANY HELP would be appreciated.
Thanks

You found a minor difference between DNN 4 and DNN 5.

For DNN 4 the page forms  height was hard coded to 100%, this caused problems with a lot of skins in non IE browsers, so this was removed.

For you skin if you would add:

form{
height:100%
}

You should be fine

Hi Tim0

Thank you for the speedy response.
Minor difference, but important difference.  This has worked 100%.

For those who encounter this problem and are unsure why like I was, simply add:

form{
height:100%
}

to your skin.css file.

Timo, please advise - do you think this CSS will cause problems in future DNN updates..?

Thanks
Jon

I'm trying to install a legacy skin and get the following error:

Error A critical error has occurred.
Could not find a part of the path 'M:\wwwroot\TSG\WazHapMe500\Portals\_default\Temp\5hlsrps0\.dnn'.
