Hi,

has anyone tried to complete the DNN Wiki DotNetNuke Skinning 101 tutorial by Joe Brinkman?

I am a beginner, working in the DNN 6.1.0 environment and I got stuck in the part 2, while adding DotNetNuke skin objects. I followed all the steps carefully, but for some reason elements such as logo, login controls, footer menu, or the copyright statement just do not show up on my page, even though I think I have them defined in my ascx and CSS files.

I would really appreciate some assistance regarding this issue. Is this tutorial DNN 6 compatibile at all?

Thanks in advance

In one of the later tutorials (Part 4 I think), there is a link to download the completed skin. One of the things that stopped me that wasn't mentioned, is that he css file must be named skin.css.

Thanks for your response guys.

I actually made the controls show up by parsing the HTML file at the very end, with everything included in it.

Unfortunately I am experiencing some CSS file issues. As I mentioned, I am a beginner and it's though for me to find out what is the reason of the problems.

No matter what I do, I can't move the privacy statement and terms of use (1.), the copyright (2.), and login elements (3.) around the page. 

This is how it looks like:

And this is some of the corresponding CSS code (no matter what I put there, the position of the elements stays the same - only removing hash symbols will put the elements in the header or footer area, but in a wrong position that still cannot be changed)

#login_style {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px;
    right: 10px;
}

#terms_style{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px;
    left: 10px;
    display:inline-block;
}


#copy_style{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px;
    right: 10px;
    display:inline-block;
}

I played around with it for several hours, trying a whole variety of options. Does anyone have any suggestions by any chance?

Thanks in advance.

And this is how it looks when I remove hash (#) operators from the corresponding parts of the CSS file:

PS sorry for posting 2 times in a row, but I don't see an edit option on the forum.
