Hi,

I'm trying to use the DDR Superfish menustyle in my skin.  Unfortunately, I receive the error stating:

Couldn't load menu style 'Superfish': System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.HasIllegalCharacters(String[] str) at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.AddPathList(FileIOPermissionAccess access, AccessControlActions control, String[] pathListOrig, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath, Boolean copyPathList) at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission..ctor(FileIOPermissionAccess access, String path) at System.Web.InternalSecurityPermissions.PathDiscovery(String path) at System.Web.HttpRequest.MapPath(VirtualPath virtualPath, VirtualPath baseVirtualDir, Boolean allowCrossAppMapping) at System.Web.HttpRequest.MapPath(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(String path) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromManifest(String manifestUrl) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle)

The pertientnt lines in my home.ascx file are:

<%@ Register TagName="MENU" TagPrefix="ddr" Src="~/DesktopModules/DDRMenu/Menu.ascx"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ddr" Namespace="DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine" Assembly="DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu" %>
<div runat="server" id="nav">
    <ddr:MENU MenuStyle="Superfish" runat="server" />
    <dnn:LOGIN id="dnnLogin" runat="server" />
</div>

Can anyone help me identify the illegal character mentioned in the erro and how to rectify it?

Thanks,

Sid

Hi Joe,

Yes.  The Superfish folder is in there, and is referenced in my manifest file as follows:

<skinFile>

<path>Superfish</path>

<name>arrows-ffffff.png</name>

<path>Superfish</path>

<name>hoverIntent.js</name>

<path>Superfish</path>

<name>jquery.bigframe.min.js</name>

<name>menudef.xml</name>

<name>shadow.png</name>

<name>superfish.css</name>

<name>superfish.js</name>

<name>Superfish.xslt</name>

<name>superfish-navbar.css</name>

<name>superfish-vertical.css</name>

<name>supersubs.js</name>

</skinFile>

Joe,

I see the Superfish folder but only one file in the corresponding folder in the skin package is loaded into it.  i modified the manifest's skinfiles node as follows:

<skinFiles>

<skinName>SOPPlan</skinName>

<basePath>Portals\_default\Skins\SOPPlan</basePath>

<skinFile>

<path>Superfish</path>

<name>arrows-ffffff.png</name>

<name>hoverIntent.js</name>

<name>jquery.bgiframe.min.js</name>

<name>menudef.xml</name>

<name>shadow.png</name>

<name>superfish.css</name>

<name>superfish.js</name>

<name>Superfish.xslt</name>

<name>superfish-navbar.css</name>

<name>superfish-vertical.css</name>

<name>supersubs.js</name>

</skinFile>

<skinFile>

<name>home.ascx</name>

</skinFile>

<skinFile>

<name>home.doctype.xml</name>

</skinFile>

<skinFile>

 <name>inner.ascx</name>

</skinFile>

<skinFile>

<name>inner.doctype.xml</name>

</skinFile>

<skinFile>

<name>skin.css</name>

</skinFile>

</skinFiles>

How do I modify the above portion of my manifest to ensure that the Superfish folder contents are all included when parsed?

Thanks,

Sid
