I'm sure this has been asked before. I've been all the place over trying to find an article, a video, or even a hint about how to do this.

At the moment, I don't need any advice about graphics, tokens, skins, colors, containers, or modules.

What I do need is information on how to move the panes around in the template and resize them. For example, let's say I want a pane 300px by 300px on the left, then two more that are 150 each right under that, then another one 300px under that, then in the other two columns I want some more panes at different sizes.

So what I need is info on how you edit the size and position of those content panes! Are they html tables? What program do I use to modify them? Can I just enter the sizes and position somehwere?

Any help appreciated,

~B

Your question is about skinning, i.e. you need to modify the page skin. this is usually a .html file, where the panes are defined as TD or DIV and can be formatted by HTML or CSS commands. Note, that the HTML files get compiled into an .aspx version during installation, so if you modify the installed skin directly on your server, you need to reparse the skin. Refer to the skinning guide in the documentation or the skinning videos at dnncreative for further details.

Thank you for the info. I did see where you can parse something in DNN but didn't know what that meant. Do you have a link for the skinning guide documentation? I couldn't locate it. I read the info on DNNCreative but didn't watch the video because you have to be a member. Is membership free?

Can you recommend any (cheap) software that would make it easy for me to set up my style sheets?

Thanks again,

~B

skinning doc is part of the dnn documentation pack that is available at the download page.

You can use any HTML designer you want - but even Notepad is appropriate, if you are firm with HTML.
