Re: Child Site Top Menu Formatting

Restarting IIS clears the server cache but not the browser cache.

Re: Child Site Top Menu Formatting

I cleared the browser cache but the top menu in child page does not change. and also recycled the APP pool in IIS.

I think it is using some temporary file in IIS server or what is that I really don't know.

Child site id is 9 in /Data/Sites/ and there is skin dcarter-sq2. I changed the stylemenu.css but It don't change top menu.

I am really exhausted this kind of stuff.

Please provide me some help!

Thank you

Abhishek

Hi,

Try changing the name of the folder your skin is in. For instance, you said you are using dcarter-sq2; copy this folder to a new folder named dcarter-sq2-modified and then set your site to use the new skin.

If this doesn't work, you didn't change the proper stylemenu.css file and you need to figure out which one you changed and then make those changes in the \Data\sites\9\dcarter-sq2-modified\stylemenu.css file.

HTH,

Re: Child Site Top Menu Formatting

when I rename skin dcarter-sq2 to dcarter-modified. child site page doesn't show any style. It display only content without any formatting.

and If I use another skin like dcarter-business it works fine.

Re: Child Site Top Menu Formatting

Did you set your site to use the skin with the new name? If you just renamed the folder, you will have no style until you set the site to use the skin with the new name. If you copied the skin to a new folder and named the new folder, you will still have to change the site to use the skin with the new name but your site will have style while do this.

Thanks,
Joe D.

I changed the site to use the skin with new name. Then it disappear all styles from the page and displays only text content.

Re: Child Site Top Menu Formatting

Hi Joe,

I got the problem. Child site is using parent stylemenu.css, It's strange to me.

I created a parent site /Data/Site/1 and child site /Data/Site/2 both have their skin dcarter-sq2.

child site is using it's own layout.master but for menu formatting it is using stylemenu.css of parent site.

Look when I do changes on child site stylemenu.css, It doesn't effect. but when I do changes on parent site's stylemenu.css It effects on both parent and child site.

One more strange thing is:-

div.AspNet-Menu-Horizontal ul.AspNet-Menu li a.AspNet-Menu:hover{
background-image: url(mnuitemhover.png); background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 110px; height: 25px; background-position: left bottom;

when I change size of mnuitemhover.png for child site, It uses changed mnuitemhover.png.

mnuitemhover.png is in /Data/Sites/2/Skins/dcarter-sq2/

How it is possible?

I only want to change child site menu style.

Thanks,

Abhishek
