Missing Tokens

Hello

Fist of all, congratulations for this fine piece of software.

I have downloaded the last version of Artisteer and:

- I missed some tokens like [USER], [CURRENTDATE], [LOGIN], [LANGUAGE], etc., so I need to add them manually with notepad. Obviously I also need to format them with CSS.

- I would like to include the Art-menu as a skinobject, not as a module. For me it is prefereably to avoid Host-Admin users to modify it.

- The posible options for inner layout (inside <div class="art-content">) are very limited. I don't know if it is posible to use a subtemplating system like YAML Builder, so I can make more complex designs.

- In Joomla and Drupal templates appear more design elements like User, Date, RSS Icons, and so on. These items are also present in some core DNN modules like blog and events modules.

If you are interested, I would be very pleased to belong to beta testing program for Artisteer's DotNetNuke Templating

Best regards

Juan

Hi,

How did you add the missing tokens? which ascx files did you change? and finally, did you modify the artisteer generated files or the server files?

Thank you!

Javier,
You need to hand code some of these element in your finished skin. Typically I will upload the skin to a test DNN site on my laptop and add in what I need. You'll need a working knowledge of skin objects for DNN one exanple would be adding the DNN User.

To do this:

1. Open your page.ascx file in your installed Artisteer skin folder
2. Register the control by adding this to the registrations at the top of your skin

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="USER" Src="~/admin/Skins/User.ascx" %>


3. Add the DNN token for user where you would like it to show on your skin

<dnn:User runat="server" id="dnnUser" />


4. Typically, and becasue Artisteer is a CSS based skin, you will need to wrap this control within a div and us css to position it correctly.

Hope this help.

Juan - it would be nice to see ArtMenuSO in the admin folder - but who would your admins ever see it? I stopped giving Admin access to my clients a long time ago. Much simpler.MGOJ0

Just a new suggestion :

Add a style sheet editor for token.

Thank you
