This is getting frustrating as hell, I'm looking at the documentation, and it seems like I'm doing everything correctly.  My main ContentPane works fine, but DNN isn't showing my other one.  Here is my html...

<html>
<head>
<link id="skin" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="skin.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="wholecontainer">
    <div id="header">[LOGIN][NAV]</div>
    <div id="leftcontent">[CONTENTPANE:1]</div>
    <div id="maincontent"><div id="ContentPane" runat="server"></div></div>
</div>
</body>

 

here is the generated ascx file....

<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGIN" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Login.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAV" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" %>
<div id="wholecontainer">
    <div id="header"><dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" /><dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" /></div>
    <div id="leftcontent"><div id="LeftPane" runat="server"></div></div>
    <div id="maincontent"><div id="ContentPane" runat="server"></div></div>
</div>

 

Here is my XML file...

<Objects>
<Object>
    <Token>[CONTENTPANE:1]</Token>
        <Settings>
            <Setting>
                <Name>id</Name>
                <Value>LeftPane</Value>
            </Setting>
        </Settings>
 </Object>
</Objects>

I downloaded a working skin and I get the same problem...you can't see any of the other panes when the skin is applied.  I have noticed that I can see the other Panes when I preview the skin. I can even add modules to it, but as soon as I apply the skin, the other Panes disappear...is this a possible bug?  I'm using the newest version of DNN

Check out your pane lines....They are diffent, this is why one is running and one isn't :->

<div id="header">[LOGIN][NAV]</div>
    <div id="leftcontent">[CONTENTPANE:1]</div>
    <div id="maincontent"><div id="ContentPane" runat="server"></div></div> 

Forget the token, instead use the same method you did for the content pane:

<div id="WhatYouWantThePaneToBeCalled" runat="server"></div>

 

Give that  bad boy a try and see how it works.

If you want, you can download my reactapack and dig into those skins to see what I did to modify it up.

Thanks Josh, I think my problem wasn't with any of my files it was just my lack of how things work in DNN. I made a tiny bit of progress, I discovered that whenever I was in the skin settings, only the main Pane was showing, and if I tried to add a module to a Pane, only one showed up in my control panel dropdown.  But if I navigated back to my default page from the skins page, all the panes were there and I can add modules...I guess this is the way its supposed to work?

 

Also, unrelated to my rprevious problems, what does the "visibility" property do to Panes?

Mike, just checking this:

Are you aware that you have to click the Parse link on the skins page if you make a change to the html or xml files directly on the server. If you uplaod an html/xml skin it will be parsed automatically, but not otherwise.

If you make changes to the ascx files on the server then you must be careful not to reupload or parse as the ascx files would be overwritten.

Also, to ensure you have the correct skins and containers applied, it is safest to go to the Admin, Site Settings and apply them there. It's a little more clear what is happening in that page.
