| Hello.. I'm new in dotnetnuke and I already bouth the snapsis menu, and added to my moduals, but i'm a little confuse how to use.. I saw that i need add two lines of code to my html, but well.. my website is using the housemenu, and i want change for the snapsis menu.. i'm really confuse.. someone can give me a help? And explain what i need change, what is the steps, to i put the snapsis menu in my website? I'm also confuse about the token in the html file and the configurations for the xml file.. The url for my website is this here. In the website, i want keep the same idea of the tabs for the mainmenu and submenu horizontal, and keep also the vertical menu that wil conserve with the same style. What i want to do, is change the style of the mainmenu and submenu, because you can see that the mainmenu show a bottom-border in the internet explorer, that i would like to remove, and also i want give a better aspect to the main menu and submenu with some gradient. And more one thing, because i'm using the housemenu, i losted the solpartmenu actions for the admin section, and would like to change this for a dropdown menu like the solpart one. In the dnn creative i asked about this, and leeskykes told me that the snapsis package come with a special dropdown list menu just for the admin and host menus which I can place in my skin as a token, i would like to know how do that. Best Regards, Jorge | | | |

| Hi Jorge, There are several sample skins in the package that have the code you need to use. Look in the sample skins for those two lines you mentioned from the documentation to see how they configure the menu with the different properties. The Admin/Host menu is a special Type called "SelectList". I don't know enough about the housemenu to tell you the exact steps, but you should find that the CSS used to do the styles is very simular. | | | |

| Oh, the Snapsis menu does not replace the solpart action menu in containers. You should still be able to use either a dropdown actions token or the default solpart actions in your containers. | | | |

| Hi Jorge, It's easiest to just work directly with the .ascx skin and not use the html or xml files. You can put the required settings directly in either one though, you don't need to change the skin.xml file. If you want, you can attach your skin here, or reply to this notification directly with your skin as an attachment and I'll put the code in the skin for you. | | | |

| Ok, I have added the snapsis menu to the Home.htm and Home.ascx (which is the home.htm after the skin is parsed). As you can see by looking in the files, instead of using the tokens, I just put the control code in there directly. I also changed the skin.css file to reflect the new names "ParentTabs" and "ChildTabs". You may need to play with the CSS a little, but it is working. If you still get the object reference error then you need to make sure that you have the Snapsis.DNN.NavMenu.dll file in your /bin folder. |

| | Did you get the error on the "Home" skin? I didn't change the others, so they still use the HouseMenu and you may not have the HouseMenu installed anymore. | | | |

| Yes.. in the home skin. And how i tryed before uinstall the HouseMenu and i saw that the error keep showing, i re-install the HouseMenu.. so, i dont think so that is some problem with the HouseMenu.. what i was looking, is that the snapsis doesnt come with an ascx file, isnt? So when i go in the module definitions, and in the skin objects.. in the Control Snapsis-NavMenu, and i click to edit the module control, in the source how the snapsis dont come with a ascx file, the source put the first source that the list apresents.. that is an announcements module.. and i cant find the snapsis in this list, because the snapsis doesnt come with a ascx file.. (and i think that doesnt come because the snapsis doesnt need of the xml file, so i think that it doesnt need the ascx file, am i right?) What i think is that the problem is not in the code of the pages, but in some incompatibility..
Well, i'm really confuse, i tryed a lot of differents ways, but still showing this error.. do you have more some ideas of what is happening, and how can i fix this!?
Thanks a lot.

| That is correct. The Snapsis NavMenu does not have a .ascx control.
If you have changed the Module Definition while you were on looking at it in the Skin Objects then that may be your problem.
You might want to try un-installing the Snapsis NavMenu and then re-installing.
If you want, you can give me access to our site and I can set it up for you.
Reply to the notification from this post to contact me directly.

| Hello.. Today i discover the problem..
Its because i'm using the Business Edge version 1. And the person that help me to find out the problem tell me that the version 2 was having some problems with the snapsis.. So, well, version 1.. i will upgrade to the version 3, and see what happens, but problably will work fine.. anyway after the upgrade i post here something..
But, really thank you very much..
Jorge
