Hi Mark,

Thanks for checking it out and I'm glad you liked it.

The DnnFoundation skin is simple because I created it to show the Dnn Community that Dnn can use whatever framework you want and not only Bootstrap for responsive or otherwise. 

Dnn uses a multiple asp.net technologies like Webforms and razor etc, and is very flexible to extend the platform using the developers preferred tools and methodologies.

I don't believe that the Dnn Community is aware that you can use whatever framework you want for skinning as well. We are in danger of ONLY using Bootstrap for skins/modules etc., and in my mind this is not good.

The DnnFoundation skin is a skeleton skin which people can build upon, all the goodies are implemented into the Foundation framework to create great looking skins for your sites.

In my opinion Foundation not only looks clean and is easy to learn and use, but it also feel great when using it, especially on a mobile device.

Regards,

Geoff

Great job Geoff.  I started a foundation skin a couple months ago, but haven't had time to get it finished.  Glad to see a community member put one out.  It's not much different from building a bootstrap skin but for some reason people seem to think it is not possible.

I did notice an annoying "bouncing" behavior when I tried to scroll to the bottom of the page in Chrome (v36)

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the comments, greatly appreciated! 

The annoying "bounce" is caused by the 'Sticky' menu, When you scroll down on the page the header disappears until the menu bar, this then becomes stuck to the top of the browser.

This sticky menu function can be switched on or off by changing the following line:

<div class="contain-to-grid sticky">

Just remove the 'sticky'

There is also a fix to sort this out which I'll incorporate into the skin when I update it:

The fix is to just <div class="fixed"> under the <div class="contain-to-grid sticky">

I think the foundation  framework's grid system is far ahead of the other frameworks.

Have a look at this article about the plans for their new grid system ( found here

It'll change the way you think about the old 960 grid system.

Regards,

Geoff

I have a question. Also, I'm new to dnn in general, so please forgive my ignorance. I've recently downloaded and installed the DNN foundation skin, and I am altering it on my website's  private page to test it. It displays top level pages, which is desirable. However, sub-level pages that should show up under several tabs are not showing up. I wanted to ask how I would go about rectifying this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

On the demo site the site shows the main menu and sub menu without any problems ( desktop as well as mobile).

If you are talking about a main > Sub > Sub menu level have a look into the :

foundation-menu > ULXSLT.xslt

foundation-menu > FoundationNav.txt

files, you should be able to make the changes there to accomplish what you are looking to do.

Regards,

Geoff
