Does DNN have the ability to use master pages?  If not, what is the best way to give legacy applications the same look and feel of a DNN site, i.e. the navigation, related pages, etc.?  Currently I have mocked up a template that looks like the current site but obviously does not have the dynamic features of the DNN portal.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

Sebastian,

I throughly understand the concept of skining.  The main goal that I am trying to accomplish is to give legacy applications the same look and feel that other pages within the framework would have without having to re-write these applications as modules (essentially like the concept of a master page for an ASP.NET application.)  I am not concerned about utilizing the security built into DNN as these applications already have security in place.  I would simply like to be able to utilize the look and feel of my DNN portal without having to write it as a static template.  I am mostly concerned with the navigation menu, search, and related pages.  Can the DNN framework be used to simply provide these functions without providing everything?

Thanks.

Derek

Thanks for the advice. 

How did you obtain the look and feel of the DNN Navigation outside of the actual DNN framework?  Did you simply write your own code to duplicate the look and feel of navigation and hover attributes?

Thanks.

Derek
