i have two skins in my pjct. i want to exclude a page from the menubar using skin1 and need to include the same page in the menu bar using skin2 in page2. how can i do that.

The easiest way to do that is by using a menu system that allows you to include and/or exclude pages in the configuration.

DDR menu from DNNGarden.com is one such menu. It is free. And, if you install it, it's a direct upgrade to the DNN Nav menu. That means that your CSS styles don't need to change at all. In the skin, you just add attributes to include/exclude.

Dear Craig,
I added the DDR Menu. But I dont know how to set the include/exclude option for the page.
Can you please give an example for that?

Take a look here for some of the "standard options" for DDR Menu.

You want to use IncludeNodes or ExcludeNodes.  So, within the tag that defines the menu, add an attribut like this:


       IncludeNodes = "Admin, Host"

That will exclude the Admin and Host pages from the menu.  If there are other pages, include them in the list.

Craig sorry for disturbing you again, I am very new to this..
These are some part of my 3 skin files. I have created a skin for my project. Now i need to add include/exclude option using DDR menu. I have added the DDR menu as a module in DNN. I gone through the documents which is given in the dnngarden.com and I tried,but its not working for me. what all changes I need to do in these 3 files and any other changes need to make in somewhere else?
If I need to generate an xml for menu how to make that?
Can you please give me solution for this..
