Hello,

(at first I apologize for my english... )

I am new in skinning for dnn and I have read the skinning manuel by Shaun Walker and I also tried the examlple in Appendix A.

I have created a skin.html with 4 contentpanes. So I had to create a skin.xml, to "specify the 'ID' attribute.

 

After following all the other introductions, I tried to upload my new skin but first of all no skin was found. (The container

which were included in Skin-Package were found...)

After trying some other stuff I dont remember anymore (Try and error will work sometimes...), the skin was shown in the

"Skin-Browser". I tried to apply it but then I got an error, which said:

"CONTENTPANE" is already in use...

 

Could it be that I have something wrong with the skin.xml or could it be that the skin.xml is not used to create the skin.ascx?

How could I solve this problem?

I find it simpler to by-pass the xml file for content panes, just using something like this in the html file:
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" id="LeftPane" class="leftpane" runat="server"></td>
<td align="center" valign="top" id="ContentPane" class="centerpane" runat="server"></td>
<td align="center" valign="top" id="RightPane" class="rightpane" runat="server"></td>
</tr>
Remember, one (and only one) pane must have an ID of "contentpane".  Good luck!
