Hi,

I cannot get the house menu working:

I installed the module, referenced it in the skin, put the skinobject on the page ... an it renders a plain ul ?
I set the attributes in the tag itself as follows:

dnn:HOUSEMENU id="HOUSEMENU" runat="server" ShowHome="True" Scope="-1" Mode="S" Orientation="H" ShowAdmin="True" IsRecursive="False" ShowSearchResults="False" StyleName="Skyward"

So I guess it just doesn't use the style suggested? So how do I reference to the style sheet? And where does it have to be (in the portal root folder)?
And where could one place the XML File?

sincerely,
felix

keeperofstars,

I also have a houseMenu question for you.  I got the menu installed and dropped the module into a pane (dnn_NavigationPane) and I'm able to access the module settings and set a css style, etc..  but on my anchors and list items I have no ID tags (which I have seen on other websites)... for example, here is the code my housemenu generates:

<ul id="HouseMenuH">
<li><a href="(web address)" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="(web address)/About/tabid/55/Default.aspx" title="About" class=>About</a></li>
<li><a href="(web address)/Solutions/tabid/56/Default.aspx" title="Solutions" class=>Solutions</a></li>
<li><a href="(web address)/KnowledgeCenter/tabid/57/Default.aspx" title="Knowledge Center" class=>Knowledge Center</a></li>
<li><a href="(web address)/Customers/tabid/58/Default.aspx" title="Customers" class=>Customers</a></li>
<li><a href="(web address)/Partners/tabid/59/Default.aspx" title="Partners" class=>Partners</a></li>
<li><a href="(web address)/ContactUs/tabid/60/Default.aspx" title="Contact Us" class=>Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>

Here is the HouseMenu on the HouseOfNuke website:

<ul id="HouseMenuNav">
<li id="HouseMenuNavItemHome"><a href="http://www.houseofnuke.com" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<li id="HouseMenuNavItem407"><a id="HouseMenuNavLink407" href="http://www.houseofnuke.com/Projects/tabid/407/Default.aspx" title="Projects" tabindex="1">Projects</a>
<ul><li id="HouseMenuNavItem414"><a id="HouseMenuNavLink414" href="http://www.houseofnuke.com/Projects/HouseIndex/tabid/414/Default.aspx" title="HouseIndex" tabindex="1">HouseIndex</a></li>
<li id="HouseMenuNavItem410"><a id="HouseMenuNavLink410" href="http://www.houseofnuke.com/Projects/HouseMenu/tabid/410/Default.aspx" title="HouseMenu Module & SkinObject" tabindex="1">HouseMenu</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li id="HouseMenuNavItem411"><a id="HouseMenuNavLink411" href="http://www.houseofnuke.com/Forums/tabid/411/Default.aspx" title="Forums" tabindex="1">Forums</a></li>
<li id="HouseMenuNavItem406"><a id="HouseMenuNavLink406" href="http://www.houseofnuke.com/Downloads/tabid/406/Default.aspx" title="Downloads" tabindex="1">Downloads</a></li>
</ul>

 Notice on the Anchors there are ID parameters, like (<a id="HouseMenuNavLink406") How can I get my HouseMenu to generate these ID attributes??
If anyone could help, I'm on a tight deadline and need to get this figured out today if possible.

Thanks,

Charles

superdmon: If I am not mistaken the difference your seeing is between using the skinobject and using the module. The skinobject has to create unique id's for every element it creates since these elements are part of the physical page. While when using the module the module itself is not actually generating any skinobjects. All it is doing is reading the page structure data and then creating an unordered list from it. No different then going into the html/textbox module and creating the same unordered list. Those id's your seeing will be different per installation and can change even per list anytime you make any changes to the whole site / menu. DNN basically just starts incrementing the id element for each instance. Let me know if you need any additional information. Is there a particular reason you need those ids?

Felixhelix: Let me make sure I have a clear understanding. You are using the skin object in a custom skin your creating correct? If so either copy the skyward.CSS file to your skins folder along with the ascx file, or provide the full file path name to the skyward.css in your DNN installation. I personally suggest making a copy of the skyward.css and putting it in your custom skins folder. This way you can make edits / changes but still have the original skyward.css to go off if you should need it again, will also prevent a different user from seeing a weird layout for skyward that they might not be expecting. Now if you are using the module option then you are not altering the skinfiles / ascx at all, so you just have to go to the module files and change the skyward.css file refresh the page and you should see the changes. (note: might have to go into the file manager and tell it to syncronize to ensure its checked all the files and made adjustments accordingly.

Let me know if you guys still have questions.
