Hi

Right I have just been building a new skin for a new site that I am building and I am having issues that I can seem to solve.  I have the latest version of DNN and I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2008.

Fist of all I have built more the 30 sites with DNN so I am pretty familair with it.   My skin is an .ascx file.

After installing a fresh copy of DNN on my local machine, I then add the skin to the skin directory in the portals/default directory as per normal.  I then login to DNN using the host login provided on install.  I go to the host settings and change the appearance by chossing my skin file.  It loads just fine.  However, nothing seems to work.  For instance I cannot click on the user control at the top of my skin to view my profile and I canot also log out of the application.

Also when I copy the URL and load it in IE I am logged out but when I click on the link to login nothing loads it just seesm to refresh the page.  I havent changed the default login pages or registration pages at all.  Fresh install.

So I decided to test another skin that I made last week.  Added it to the skin directory and chnaged the skin in the host settings/appearance and then freshed the page.  This loaded the new skin just fine and everything works.

So I decided to use the working skin and paste in the main HTML such as menus and containers in to the working skin from the non-working skin.  Making sure that I left all the user control code at the top.  This didnt work either.

So I then went back to the skin that doesnt work and started to remove the main body of the skin peice by peice (table by table), untill all that was left was the user control at the top so I can test the logout:

This is what I left below

(<dnn:USER runat="server" id="dnnUSER" CssClass="LoginLink" />

<span class="HeaderSep">&nbsp;</span>

<dnn:LOGIN runat="server" CssClass="LoginLink" id="dnnLOGIN" />)

 

I then loaded the page and tested the logout.  It still doesnt work and then I completly ran out of ideas

Any ideas would be gratfully recieved.  Thanks in advance for any help given

Paul

Hi

I assume you have the TagPrefix for LOGIN and USER are inserted at the top of your .ascx file ?

As far I can see, the code seems ok, only for the ( and ) - I have not seen thos used by other skins. Maybe this is what causes your trouble ?

Could you post the complete skin?
