Hi all ,

im on DNN6 and installed amicable skin and set portal-edit and all pages to it , when browsing the site as a logged out user everythings fine, but as soon as i log in and switch between edit and view, or click the logo link

all i get is

An error has occurred. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Couldn't load menu style 'Dropdown': System.Web.HttpException: 'Dropdown/*menudef.xml' is not a valid virtual path. at System.Web.VirtualPath.Create(String virtualPath, VirtualPathOptions options) at System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(String path) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromManifest(String manifestUrl) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) ---> System.ApplicationException: Couldn't load menu style 'Dropdown': System.Web.HttpException: 'Dropdown/*menudef.xml' is not a valid virtual path. at System.Web.VirtualPath.Create(String virtualPath, VirtualPathOptions options) at System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(String path) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromManifest(String manifestUrl) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.TemplateEngine.TemplateDefinition.FromName(String templateName, String manifestName) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.MenuBase.Instantiate(String menuStyle) at DotNetNuke.Web.DDRMenu.DDRMenuControl.OnPreRender(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

i havent a clue where to start and its stopped me dead in my tracks as i have only a few weeks to get this on 100%.

im running on localhost and going for look at the logs.

Found out our issue...Looked at the event log and saw that we were missing a skin that was referenced by the page.  Since the skin was missing...so was the reference to the DDR menu menudef.xml.  After installing the missing skin...things started working.
