That is what I was saying. DNN360 allows you to install its side menu as a module and/or as a skin object. So I did not realize when I installed the skinobject portion in DNN 4.5.3 that it tagged it as a VIEW control type. But it still worked even though it did not show up in the skinobjects list.

Here is the code I put in the skin to take advantage of the skin object.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="DNN360Menu" src="~/desktopmodules/CISS.SideMenu/SideMenu.ascx" %>

<dnn:DNN360Menu runat="server" id="dnnYourID" ConfigFile="default.xml"/>

So it installed it correctly and it worked in the skin. To get it to show up in the list, make the db changed I mentioned in my first post and it will change the Control Type from View (0) to Skin Object (-2).

This should work for you.
