hi,

I am looking for a comprehensive API-style guide to DNN. I have been working with it for about a year  and a half now, custom skins, alterations, dabbling in modules, open web studio, etc, however, I have yet to come accross a decent and COMPLETE set of documentation. It seems to be bits and peices fragmented about.

Most importantly, the DNN tags. I can't find a simple list of tags available for use in templates/skins, or a guide to how to access the information. Specifically,  we are doing some custom Snapsis work for a client, and I wanted to know all available tab/skin/portal properties (and any others that may exist) that would be available to fit the clients needs. I know the format is [Tab:Name]  or [Portal:Description], but am unsure where that comes from.

I believe it is [Table:Fieldname] but am not sure. Can I access custom table fields? Like if I add a user profile property called "Quote", can I use [User:Quote] to access it? If I add a Meta tag like <meta id="altTitle" name="alternatetitle" content="My Alternate Title">, is there a way to access that information in the skin?

Thanks in advance!

Geisha,

there is an API description on codeplex, see here.

Regarding Tokens, Stefan blogged about it here and Timo created an FCKEditor Plugin here.

TokenReplace does support custom user profile properties out of the box, to support your own table data, you need to implement iPropertyAccess and subclass TokenReplace class.
