Hi,

I have installed mojoportal on my site and love its abilities and ease of use.

I do have a question regarding the Skins and their Menu systems.

I have been using the Mitchinson - Golden during the setup of the site and just noticed that there are no child (drop down) menu items off the main menu.  I believe that this will be detrimental to the navigation of the site for the user.

Is there a method to turn ON the drop down feature for this main menu & skin?

Thanks

Phill

Hi Joe,

Thanks, I was afraid that would be the case.

I did find that the pages would show the child pages in a column.

I kind of like the idea that the user can see which page he/she wants and can go to it directly from the Home page.

I know its a stretch for you... but...

I am building a site for a sailing group... would you have any suggestions to skins that are sort of nautical in theme or color and have the drop-down main menu?

Thanks

Phill

Hi guys,

I have just been looking at the Artisteer app and its a daunting task that they make much easier.

A couple of Q's if I can?

1. Which version Standard or Home?
2. Which of the following is best for creating skins for MojoPortal?
   Blog on Blogger.dom
   Joomla
   WordPress
   Drupal
   DotNetNuke
   HTML
   asp.net
   Code Charge studio...

Thanks
Phill

Hi Joe,

I am surprised at how different each of the "types" (HTML/ASP.NET/etc) changes the entire layout and looks textures etc.

Thanks for the hits & tips.  I'll work in it tonight and tomorrow morning... then comes the next step... export and then apply to the actual mojoportal site.  I hope the docs you pointed me to will help.

Enjoy your beer... :-)

Hi Joe,

I got some of this figured out... when creating a new skin the destination folder (\data\sites\1\skins\...) MUST already containing a copy of an existing sites files....

I see that the new artisteer skin has "TRIAL" written all over it.... not a very good thing?  Its written on every image file as a watermark...

I do not think I can use this product without purchasing it.

Got any thoughts or suggestions?

Joe,

Not sure what is happening but I notice that when the page is displayed from the web site it doe NOT have any of the payout I defined in the artisteer tool!

i.e. the menu is different, the page columns are different, the page colors are different... etc etc

If they created this tool for this job then there is something I am missing???

Phill

Joe,

First let me thank you for taking the time to deal with a frustrated person... thanks

I was referring to is the page I see in mojoportal.  It is missing all the layout functionality (i.e. I had 3 columns in artisteer but after exporting and viewing it in mojoportal... no columns at all)!  View page.html in IE and its all there!

I do understand that this is the demo version but for someone who is only going to make 1 or maybe 2 skins $125. is a bit pricey... especially when I the site I am building is a freebie too!  It is a great tool though for those who want to make skins and sell there work its great.

Guess I am back to searching for a pre-built skin that comes close to my needs.

Thanks

Phill

Joe,

I have decided that I do need the Artisteer tool but I want to make sure you guys get the credit and your %.  Where do I find a link to go to Artisteers from here?

By the way when I questioned artisteer support they made a big deal out of NOT supporting mojoportal.  I told them that they should change their mind as you are going out of your way to make their skins work on mojoportal.

Thanks

Phill

Thanks guys....

I just purchased the Home version of Artisteer and I used the link above... please make sure you get the credit for the sale and your % due...
