Hi guys,

I am working with DNN 4.09.03. I want to modify the look and feel of a links module. I know how to change the outer looks with containers, but I want achieve a mouseover effect for the links itself.

Looking closely it appears that the links are placed into a table datacell. I want to set the background of that cell to and image, and on mouseover swap it for another image. I also want to have another links module through out the site that has a different background color and font-color. I dont think i can use css as in most cases i have the both links module on the same page, and invariably the css of the second links module overwrites the first.

I need some assistance in extending/customising the links module source, so I can i have a links module A and a links module B. Can i have both variants oft the links module using the same data storage? I need to know how to set up the development environment to do this first. I have the DotNetNuke solution (with source code) working in VS2008. How do I integrate the source of the links module, so i can customise it (and rename - maybe mylinksA)?

Am i going down the wrong path? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

you could use the same data storage, but that is not advisable, as it might conflict with future versions of the core module. Make sure you rename everything in the source of the mdoule to your own module name, and register it as a new module. You can then start working on your own version.
