DNN Container / Pane Questions... |

So I have the beta and have found all the bugs. That said, 2.3 worked well. This thing is a huge time saver!!! I just have a couple questions..
1) Containers: Is it only block and article? The block doesn't seem to work that well, article isn't too bad. Am I correct in assuming that to create custom containers, I would need to create those in DNN and assign a CSS class to them? Looks like Artisteer doesn't really support that in it's interface.
2) Footer/Header - Can anyone provide some guidance on how to get the header and footer of the artisteer template into "panes" in DNN? Right now, all the panes are in the "body area" of the Artisteer template. I'd like to get some functionality in the header/footer areas, and as such would really like them to be a "pane" in DNN.
Thanks in advance! Great product guys!

Currently, Artisteer only supports two "containers" for DNN; the Article and the Block. Based on news, forum posts and some support feedback it appears they do plan to add multi skin, multi container and content pane layout support at some point in the future.
A work around would be to create two versions of the skin in Artisteer, altering your Article and Block. Then upload that. This is useful and typical for a homepage skin and a content page skin that might be different, etc.
To change the header/footer you need to code the changes in the uploaded skin file.
Typically this is pretty easy. To change the header you need to find this:
<div class="art-Header-jpeg"></div>
<div class="art-Logo">
and change it to something like this:
<div id="HeaderPane" runat="server"></div>
Just make sure you name it something unique (not contentpane or sidebar1, etc) otherwise it will throw and error with your skin.
