Hi,

I'm trying to setup a CSS design using the DNN Menu control and have ran into a few issues.  It seems that the SeparatorHTML feature has not been implemented which I was using to put a | between menu items.  It shows on the documentation that his function was implemented.  Does that mean that I do not the latest version, how would I check?  I can’t seem to find any trace of the module in the DNN installation and am hesitant to use the source version until I’ve verified that I'm using the correct version.  The class browser in Visual Studio says it's 1 neutral.

I'm trying to use the Indicate children sub command, but having that feature on also activates the Indicate children root.  It doesn't look right in my site so I want to turn off the root icons.  Without access the CSS classes for these there is no way for me to over ride this.

Since I have no access to the CSS Menu arrow which is causing me some trouble with the 2 menu's that I'm using.  My main navigation menu should have white text while my secondary menu should have black.  The problem is that my secondary menu doesn't display the menu arrows as black, but instead white on a white background.  This makes it difficult for the user to see which menu items have selections beneath them.

While getting this menu provider setup takes a bit more work than its big brother I do believe the provider model is defiantly a great improvement over the previous static implementations.

Another thing that I notice, which is not vital but should be done is that the Default Menu Navigation Provider in the web.config does not get inherited by the nav.ascx control.  While I'm sure that people would need to declare for their skins the right menu so it will look right, I don't see why that option is there if it doesn't have a purpose.

Here is the site I'm working on

Hi JHenak,

Had a look at your site and referenced your skin css with the firefox developer's toolbar.  I have a question for you.  What's the process/method for assigning different css id's or classes to multiple dnn (solpart?) menus.  I have a main menu that only shows the root items and another dnn menu on the left that shows the children.  I want to style both menus differently within my skin css but do not know how to assign the css id/class to the 2nd menu. You have .MainMenu_MenuContainer for one menu and .rightmenu_menucontainer for another.  How do you assign these id's.  I know this is probably simple, but I need some direction.

Thanks,

ok...I figured out how to assign different cssclasses to multiple dnnmenus on a single page.  Have a few questions?

I used Nina's new dnn skin for learning how to setup the dnn menu but I think folks are still confused regarding which menu skin object is which.  My code for registering the skin object is:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAV" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" %>

and the token  gets converted to

<dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"

This is from Nin'a example. So is this the dnnmenu skin object or the dnnNav skin object?  Any help to clarify would be appreciated.
