Complexity Level: 3 - I know what I'm doing! You bought a skin. Loaded in you DotNetNuke site. Now you just see an empty page. That was not what you were expecting, was it? This video will show you how to load a new skin and demo content to you site. We will be using the Stronghold Skin from Web Sites Creative. This is part 1 of 2.

Aderson,

Thank you so much for doing this video series! I am purchasing this skin and was hoping to be able to set it up similar to their demo site. We have struggled with fonts on our DNN sites and are hoping this skin will help.

I also emailed them a link to one of our videos asking if they had an editor.css file they could share for the skin :)

Thanks for all the great videos,
Sean

Hi Sean, You're fast! I didn't even announce it yet and you saw it already!

This is truly a great skin set. It will adapt to a bunch of different page scenarios.

Happy holidays!

I check your site almost every day for new videos :) I would like to give you two suggestions if I may:

1. If you do set up a few pages in your demo, the about us and four columns portfolio pages would be my vote. They are two different views, I think most people will try to replicate.

2. If you are looking for a new business, I think setting up DNN sites would be a great one to add. A ton of visitors come to DNN Hero trying to get help with setting up their sites. If you outsourced the labor and were able to get reasonable prices, I think this would be a very good business to add to 1800DNN. Most of us go to 3rd party sites to post a quote for setting up DNN. If you offered services on setting up content, font, shopping carts, etc., I think the community would line up for service. You are a trusted member of the DNN community and one who I am sure many of us would rather spend our money with.

Happy Holidays as Well!
Sean

Hi Adrian,

I have contacted the guys from WebSitesCreative:

"The solution to this problem is downloading and installing free trial version of PackFlash module (it can be used for unlimited time) which supports mega menu skins working. The link to download: www.packflash.com/free-dotnetnuke-dnn-module-trials-by-packflash.

This information can also be found in Stronghold DNN Manual: demo.websitescreative.com/snowcovered/stronghold/StrongholdManual.pdf. "

Cheers,
Aderson

Great Video. I'm sure it will help alot of folks.

Any idea how to modify the hover menu color?

Hi Berney,

This is just a pointer as I have not tried this myself.

In the skin folder under /styles/style.css file find entries that say #header-navigation and :hover - in one of those you will be able to change the colors. You just need to give it a shot.

Cheers,
Aderson
