Hi,

I am fairly new to DotNetNuke and have just started developing  my own skins. As part of this activity, I am trying to understand which skin object and navigation provider I should be using.

The default skins use the [NAV] skin object and the latest “DotNetNuke Navigation WebControls” document dated June 20, 2006 also mentions on page 17 that [NAV] is the skin object that I should be using. However, the sample project DnnWebControlsApp uses the [Menu] skin object. Also there doesn’t appear to be a way to specify an alternative navigation provider to use with the [MENU] skin object so my assumption is that the sample app is outdated and I should be using the [NAV] skin object.

My second question is which navigation provider should I be using; DNNMenuNavigationProvider or SolpartMenuNavigationProvider? I assume that DNNMenuNavigationProvider is the latest. I read an earlier post that talked about the DnnMenu but am not sure that they were referring to the navigation provider. I think they were.  So if my understanding is correct, I should be using the [NAV] skin object with the DNNMenuNavigationProvider navigation provider. Am I correct?

Thanks for clearing up my confusion.

Thanks!
