Customizing the footer section

Hi,

I have some problems customizing the footer section, basically I have heavily modified an existing styleshout skin and I'm thinking about removing the "Design by styleshout" link in the footer, but leave the other links. 

I have deleted all the other skin folders and I did an entire solution search in Visual Studio with the keywords "Design by styleshout" and I commented out the corresponding lines I found in the layout.Master files.

 Now the lines look something like <!--<a title="Visit the web site of the designer" href="http://www.styleshout.com/">Design by styleshout OMG2</a> --> in the <div id="wrapfooter"> section. The problem is that whenever I build my solution the footer section doesn't modify, it still includes the designer link.

 Thanks in advance.

Re: Customizing the footer section

Hi,

When a site is created the skins are copied from /Data/skins to /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins

Typically SiteID will be 1 for the first site.

The skins available to the site are located at /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins

The skin files being used are located at /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/[skinname]

where skinname is the name as it appears in Site Settings

These files at /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins are not members of any VS projects so VS isn't going to find them.

To remove the link to the designer just open the layout.master file for the skin you are actually using and look for it there.

See the skinning documentation for more details.

Hope it helps,

Joe
