I know this is a future look at skinning forum but I have a DNN5 problem and no other forum topic seems to fit - so here goes.

In DNN5 it seems there are some changes to the skinning architecture but I don't see any changes to the skinning documentation.

The problems i'm experiencing are:

  • Menu icons are not showing up even though i have a skin.xml attributes file that states icons should not be pulled from the skin folder.
  • Content Pane settings are not being honored. I had to manually edit the .ascx file that dnn generates in order to view any content - I kept getting the error "ContentPane" id already exists (or something like that) I have a very simple skin with a [CONTENTPANE] and [CONTENTPANE:1] attributes. The associated skin.xml file has ID settings for both content panes.

Is this a problem with my install or is this a bug in DNN5? I upgraded from DNN 4.8 (which does not have these issues).

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Moved over to the Skinning forum.

Regarding your issues:

  • check out the generated ascx files and source code of the output page, what happened to the icons, how the paths are resolved.
  • DNN 5.0.0 is context sensitive regarding pane names "ContentPane", this will be rolled back in DNN 5.0.1 AFAIK.

please read the top post of the skinning forum for more information.

your first problem is as expected , if you set the icons not to show, they don't

Thanks for the reply - My contentpane problem was as suggested - case sensitivity.  My menu icon problem is still a problem.  I can't figure out how to make the icons appear!   Using an exising skin - the icons work fine under DNN 4.8 but the link is incorrect for the icons under DNN 5.0.  I'm sure i'm doing something wrong - i just don't know what.  I would like the skin to use the icons from the base location - not the skin location.  I was under the impression that the "usesskinpatharrowimages" attribute determined if the icon images were pulled from the base images folder or from the skin folder.

Thanks
