Hi,
Using the latest version of artisteer to create DNN skins i am having issues as when i upload the skin all of the fields on settings/admin pages dont line up correctly and the parts you are able to edit arent editable.. please help as i cannot do anything until i have sorted this..

i have an image but cannot work out how to put it on her to demonstrate what i mean..

Any help would be appreciated!! :-)

Lisa,

Artisteer creates what most skin designed refuse to for DNN, it creates two skins, One for the site and one for admin. Some skins are more forgiving with their pane layouts and do not affect the admin side of DNN but this is not the case for the Artisteer skins.

To fix this, go to Admin -> Settings and expand the appearance section. Change the admin skin to your Artisteer version - Admin and this should fix your issue with all things Admin/Host.

This does look like an Artisteer problem but I have many free and purchased skins that do the same thing in DNN.

Thank you for your response Jerel. I have tried your suggestion but it made no difference. Slightly frustrating. The other reason that i am not using the skin-admin option is that the admin opion only hasm a contecnt pane and removes all the other panes so when i add content i only have 1 pane to put it in.

The issue has nothing to do with the panes its the fields listed within the content pane . if i cant fix this i will be forced to use a standard skin which is really what i wanted to avoid :(

Try using the Block container as default admin container, instead of the Article container
