Hi,

Just trying to get my head around the use of content panes and columns.

How do they correspond to panes in DNN specially when inserting HTML modules on a page.

I need the following as an example

2 colums in the content area

first :fixed at 200px
second: expandable to full width of sheet

I assume I need to create a two column layout with a fluid (%) width not fixed?

If this is the case which panes do I insert my HTML modules in ?

look at page.ascx, you'll see a tag containing an ID like "contentpane" see this :
<div id="ContentPane" runat="server"></div>


This pane is mandatory... if you look a little below you 'll see another one called BottomPane ...

using the same syntax, you can create as many "PANE" zones as you want.. I strongly suggest you to read how to make DNN skins, so you'll be able to figure out how to adapt your exported artisteer template along with DNN skins syntax.

... then after creating your panes, adjust your CSS accordingly.

this will allow you to have access to left and right zones and put whatever modules you want in them.
