I have recently started learning how to use DNN to build sites.  I am trying to understand how to either create new skins or edit existing ones.  Outside of DNN i normally start with a free css template and make desired changes. 

Does anyone have links to a tutorial or a how to on converting pure css/xhtml templates to DNN skins?

Thank you in advance.

HI

Well no need to pay for it its pretty basic

You can almost convert as-is. Altho thats how I usually set it up. In the contentpanes of the actual css design you just put the contentpanes. Depending on the version of dnn the panes get injected worng so this method i one that will also work in older dnn than the lasst 4 or 5

lets say your design looks like

div class="left">content</div>

<div class="middle">content</div>

div class="right">content</div>

You just replace the demo content with the following

<div id="ContentPanel">

<div id="ContentPane" unat="server"></div>

</div>

 

The double div is for older versions of dnn depending on the dnn version you are building it for you can also just do one div. I usually used the other surrounding div to precesely style each contentpane or have an overflow hidden to support crappy programmed modules.

 

All you need now is a good unordered list supported menu like the on from snapsis.com and you are done
