More About the Project
MultiFunction is a skin for DotNetNuke that provides an XHTML compliant skin using the DNNMenu with an Unordered list. It has a predefined color scheme which can easily be changed.
See the skin in action at http://multifunction.dnndaily.com/
Features
The MultiFunction Free DotNetNuke Skin provides the following features
3 Flexible Layouts (skin files)
1 Standard Container
XHTML Compliance
The original PSDs for ultimate flexibility
Minified CSS for speed and performance (using the Chirpy plugin for Visual Studio, not currently automated)
Automated Build Scripts (in source package) using MSBuild for easy packaging
Background
I was looking for a DotNetNuke Skin that would easily allow me to change the color/graphics so that I could use it on many of my DotNetNuke websites, but still allowing for customization. I didn't find one I liked, so I created MultiFunction. Be sure to check out the Documentation page for examples of how to change the look/color of the skin by modifying the CSS.
Dependencies
Action Menu
This skin/container package requires the WatchersNET.SkinObjects.ModuleActionsMenu to be installed prior to installation.
DotNetNuke Version
This skin is dependent upon DotNetNuke 5.6.2.
Installation
This skin can only be installed as a HOST (installation) skin, not as an ADMIN (site) skin. Meaning you can only install it from the Host Extensions page, not the Admin Extensions page. It can be used on any website in a DotNetNuke Installation.
Visual Studio Plugin
This minification of CSS is handled by the Chirpy Visual Studio add-in, found at http://chirpy.codeplex.com/
Amazon S3 Hosting
In this first release I am hosting some of the images for MultiFunction on Amazon S3. I would recommend that you use your own hosting, if for some reason the S3 hosting costs me an arm and a leg I will remove the files from there.
Attribution
Within MultiFunction there is a link at the bottom of the 3 skins back to this Codeplex Project. The open source nature of this project allows you to remove that link, but leaving it in is appreciated.
