The Accidental Geek | DotNetNuke Skinning 101 (Part 2)

In order to make sure this is a valid DotNetNuke skin, I added a contentpane inside my main wrapper.  This will allow me to view the skin in DotNetNuke as I progress.  Along with this HTML I need a little CSS to center my wrapper div in the browser window and to apply a background to the page.  I also want to do a few resets on margins and fonts to make sure I start from a known point.  At this point I can use the CSS almost straight from the Dreamy template. /* Generic Styling */ body { background:url(images/bg-body.png) repeat-x top center #E8F7F9; font-family:"Trebuchet MS" Arial, [more...]

DotNetNuke breaks up our “themes” into two different parts – skins and containers.  In part 1 and 2 of this series, I showed you how to make the page layout portion of a DotNetNuke Skin.  It can be a bit confusing to new users because the term skin is used to describe the entire “theme” and also to describe the page layout portion of a complete skin package.  Containers are a much easier term to understand and will be the focus of this post. Background A DotNetNuke website consists of a set of pages on which the user places and configures one or more modules.  In order to [more...]
