This appears to be one more flaw in Artisteer - DNN Skins!

But unlike common skins Artisteer menu, does not use a DNN Nav Menu or Solpart etc...

So I can't even use extensions like EALO Appolo etc... to localize my menu!

The big drawback is Artisteer menu create theire own CSS code but no xml is used for the menu structure...

I strongly suggest the Dev's to take a look at: http://www.dnngarden.com/

DNN Menu's future is there :)


Anyway waht I would like to know... is how could I use a NAV or Solpart menu KEEPING the CSS Code generated by artisteer....???

I've tried several things and I can't get it to work :|

I don't know if any of this changed with 2.4... sorry if it does!

I think they need to have an option to include the artisteer menu or use the standard DNN menu. Even if they don't provide skinning for the standard.

I have managed to create a menu style for DNN360 Navigation suite menu.
It can be used as a skin object in place of the standard Artisteer menu.

I qill get in touch with DNN360 Navigation Suite author so that he can include the style into the standard release of his software.

Cheers,

Vincenzo

Thank you Vincenzo,
The mention style is posted here, you can visit and download.

the style follows artisteer menu node structure so it dont need seperated CSS and you can customize CSS, graphic by the tool, and localize with DNN360 Navigation suite Menu (EALO, Appollo...)

(I started playing with Astisteer a week now, very customizable all aspect of skin. Like it.)

Thanks Vincenzo and Dao,

Very helpfull information indeed... but DNN360 menu is not free...

I would prefer a free alternative, but I will take a look and see hwo much would this cost.

Ok, after some exchange email's with Mark Alan from dnngarden.com, wish in my opinion is the best Free Menu System for DNN ever!

I'm very happy to inform the ones interested that there's a template availeble for this menu at: http://www.dnngarden.com/ArtisteerFish-template.T132.aspx

The installation is pretty simple and this menu integrates with all of the Localization systems I know... Appollo, Ealo, DS etc..


I'd like to thank Mark Allan, for making this possible!
