I have a site running a purchased skin. we want to move the login token from one location to another. I can do this to the HTML page and then FTP it back to the site but I assume the ASCX file actually overwrites my changed HTML file because I do not see the changes. So i tried to alter the ASCX file in studio but that only set the skin back to something similar to the DNN default skin. I replaced my changes with the back up of the original ASCX and the site is ok now.

WHat must I do to make this change

TIA

What usually happens is when you build a skin w/ HTML, you ZIP it up w/ the other skin elements (graphics, CSS, XML file, etc) and then upload it through the Admin/Host Skins section and then DNN translates it to the ASCX file... so in your HTML you would have the [LOGIN] token you would place wherever you want, but once it's on the site, it will be replaced with something similar to this:  <dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" />  so move that where you need it and you should be fine.

Quick recap:  in HTML, use [LOGIN] then upload the whole skin package, if you're editing the ASCX file directly, look for the <dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" /> and move it. However, as always, when editing live code, make backups and BE CAREFUL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I have tried the second method and it still screws up the entire scin simply by copying the line :<dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" CssClass="user" />

and pasting it in before the breadcumb class line:

<td height="30" bgcolor="#22628D" style="padding:0px 13px;" class="Breadcrumb" colspan="2"><img src="<%= SkinPath %>images/bread.gif" width="14" height="13" align="absmiddle" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<dnn:BREADCRUMB runat="server" id="dnnBREADCRUMB" RootLevel="0" Separator="&nbsp;>&nbsp;" CssClass="Breadcrumb" /></td>

Is there a specific place it should be placed? I tried in front of the class= and even tried after the /> and before the </td>. Also does it matter what I use to edit? I tried VS2005 and get errors due to missing images when its on my local machine. so I also tried editor?

If the original skin was in HTML then you could probably move the [LOGIN] easier to another place in HTML

upload the html to your site via ftp

then go to skin/select the skin pack/ parse it

you are done

Thanks Salr

That did the trick! By the way it was one of your skins.
