Hi,

So i learned how to create skin.

I want to have two different solpart menues, with different content and design.

For the design i defined in the XML:

• for solpartmenu:1 for exmaple:  

<Name>MainMenu_MenuContainercssclass</Name>
        <Value>MainMenu_MenuContainer_1</Value>
      </Setting>
  <Setting>

• for solpartmenu:2 for example:

 <Token>[SOLPARTMENU:2]</Token>
    <Settings>
  <Setting>
        <Name>MainMenu_MenuContainercssclass</Name>
        <Value>MainMenu_MenuContainer_2</Value>
      </Setting>

 

and of course these CSS styles are defined - differently. But both menus appear on the same CSS style - the first solpartmenu (number 1). How come the second menu doesn't react to my new design ?...

 

Another importent question: I couldn't find any doc that explains how to define to a solpart menu it's text - means, i don't want my site's pages to be on the menu, i want to put there something else. can u tell me how do i set it?

 

Thanks,

I'm trying the same thing with a skin to see how it work...that is, trying to implement two solpart menus in the same skin using DNN 4.3.4.

I have the skin set up already, but the styles aren't responding as I think they should...obviously I must be missing something.  I'm having trouble particularly with the styles for the submenu.

I have the following styles set up for solpart 1 and solpart 2 respectively:

.submenuitemselected_1{
    border:1px #FAFCFD solid;
    font-size:11px; font-family:Tahoma;   
    font-weight:normal;
    padding:2px 7px 2px 7px;
    color:#000000;       
    background:#A9C5D5;
    border-width:1px 0px;
}
.submenu_1{
    z-index:1000;
    border:1px #A1BDCC solid;
    font-size:11px; font-family:Tahoma;
    font-weight:normal;
    color: #000000;
    background:#fafcfd;
}


.submenuitemselected_2{
    border:1px #FAFCFD solid;
    font-size:11px; font-family:Tahoma;   
    font-weight:normal;
    padding:2px 7px 2px 7px;
    color:#000000;       
    background:#A9C5D5;
    border-width:1px 0px;
}
.submenu_2{
    z-index:1000;
    border:1px #A1BDCC solid;
    font-size:11px; font-family:Tahoma;
    font-weight:normal;
    color: #000000;
    background:#fafcfd;
}

All the styles render as should, except for the font styles in the submenu_1 and submenu_2.  However, if I use a skin with only one solpartmenu, the style works fine.  If I put "td" such as ".submenu_2 TD", the font style renders as they should, but then the submenuitemselected_2 background styles don't.  Then if I put the "td" as in "submenuitemselected_2 td", again, the font styles render properly, but not the other styles.

The following is how the xml is set up for the two menus.

Again, your expert advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  I'm just trying out different things to get the hang of dnn skinning.

Thanks.

Yes, I do use the ASCX file...I only use the html and xml at startup to package the skin, and so I wanted to let anyone who wants to help what I've done from the start.

I've never used the DNNMenu control as yet.  My problem seems to occur when I try to put two solpart menus in a skin.  Separately, the css styles work fine, but when the two of them are on the same skin, the font styles do not render properly (e.g font weight, family, size, etc.)

I can't figure why that is happening.  Maybe I should give the DNNMenu a try and see what that does.

Thanks.
