Hello,

I should make a Skin from scratch for my compagny on DNN 6, but ... i never made DNN skinning, so i've some newbies questions:

1- I did my skin on HTML out of DNN, but when i'm parsing him, i've some problems:
  • Style sheets are not included on the ascx generated page.
    Bellow my HTML code
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Alpha Technologie</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index.css"/>
        <script src="js/libs/modernizr-2.0.6.min.js"></script>
    </head>
  • Images are included but the path is incorrect
    Bellow my HTML code:
    <img src="images/partenaires.jpg">
If you have some tutorials ... i will take that too :)

Thx for your help.

Hey scharly3,

Skinning for DNN 6 isn't fundamentally any different than for DNN 5 - so if you're just getting started I wouldn't get hung up on which version of DNN you are using (as long as it is a relatively new version).

As for creating the actual skin itself, I think your best bet is to look at skins that are already out there. The design challenge contests that have taken place in the past are a great place to start.

2011: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/D...
2010: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/D...

I'd recommend picking one you like and then just looking through how they did it. Maybe even copy it, rename a few things, and start making changes to it yourself as a way of learning how it works.

Hope that helps,

Ian

Just make sure you don't include any html in your skin but just the html content from etween the body tags

skin.ascx





imaged need to start with skinpath reference same goes for the scripts

just download a contest skin ( mine is the winning businessrainbow) I have docemented my css and html there extensively
