Hello all,
I'm very new to DNN and would very much like to know more on how to work with it. I came arcoss your site and after siffing through a few of your tutorials I'm very interesting in joining so I can learn more.
I was curious though, are the video tutorials out of date with the latest version of DNN? At least the ones I was looking at, mostly on Skinning, seem to be from 2006. Are you basically showing me how to create legecy skins?
When I read on DNN forums on Skinning they talks about how "DNN 5 skin needs manifest file, listing all the files in the package, a DNN 5 skin is not a simple zip file anymore." I've also downloaded a few free DNN5 skins and after reviewing the contents, there is no skin.zip or contain.zip files, its just full of .ascx and .css files for the skin and container.
I do see that you have a lot of tutorials and articles, which I'm sure addres some of this, I may have just not gotten to them. But since I'm so new to this, I just don't want to start off on the wrong foot.
Thanks,
Bob

Hello,
Good question, the tutorials are not out of date, the principles of building a skin are exactly the same in DNN5, the only difference is they have added a few new features and a different method for packaging a skin.
These methods have been covered here:
DotNetNuke ASCX Skinning for Professional Skinners
DotNetNuke Nav Menu
How to Package a Skin for DotNetNuke 5
Nav Menu v2 for DotNetNuke v5
Skin Object Tokens for DotNetNuke 5
Super Stylesheets Skinning in DotNetNuke 5 - DNN Layouts
The way the tutorials work is that we build on the knowledge from previous tutorials, so to get an understanding of skinning I would suggest you begin with issue 5 & 6 to understand the principles and then you may want to progress onto some of the CSS skinning and SEO skins tutorials followed by these tutorials above.
Thanks,
Lee
