Hello all!
 
This is my first post, I’m new to DNN, and I’ve already search in the DNN documentation and forums for an answer to this, without result.
 
I’m skinning a new dotnetnuke site, so I have designed a new skin and two containers (one for common and one for notable modules). 
 
I have this setup:
 
           violet.htm, no css                                 --> skin

           violet_notable.htm, container.css          --> notable container

           violet_common.htm, container.css        --> common container

, after upload dnn creates the directory for the skin and two separate directories for the containers OK.

 
Now the problem:
 
I wish the title bar in white for the notable containers, and in violet for the common ones. So I edit the css .Head class on both.
 
When I edit the .Head class on the container.css file on the notable directory, then log into dnn as host, parse and apply skin, it changes both the notable, and the common container title bars!!
 
The same if I change the container.css file on the common directory!
 
The same if I create a new class .MainHead for both container.css files!
 
The same if I create two classes .MainHead for the container.css on the notable directory, and .CommonHead for the container.css on the common directory!
 
Any experienced skin designer could have a clue on what’s happening?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Peter

Hi,

Maybe firebug, a firefox plugin, can help you out. its a powerfull tool to see if any css classes are overuled, is the site life so I can take a look at it?

Try this method...

In the skin.htm file, add a class to the root container element -

 

In the container.css file, add a CSS Rule that references the common container .Head class -

When you declare the .Head CSS, it applies to every instance of the .Head class, so make sure you use a technique similar to the one above.

Good luck!

Hi!

Thanks for prompt support.

I tried what you indicated, but in uploading the main skin I got this message:

Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/_default/Skins/newskin/newskin.ascx Error: Unknown server tag 'dnn:TITLE'.

I don't know what could be wrong, thanks anyway.

Peter
