current skin not working in new build

I took a skin I built a month ago and it will not work in this new version of MOJO.

I am getting this error in the log:

System.Web.HttpParseException (0x80004005): Literal content ('%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.UI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Web" TagPrefix="portal" %>') is not allowed within a 'skin file'. ---> System.Web.HttpParseException (0x80004005): Literal content ('%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.UI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Web" TagPrefix="portal" %>') is not allowed within a 'skin file'. --->

is there specific documentation on have to work with existing custom skins or maybe I am missing something simple??

Re: current skin not working in new build

It sounds like you have a typo of some kind in your theme.skin file. You should have this at the very top but the slightest typo can cause errors. This is what the included skins under /Data/skins have:

<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.UI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Web" TagPrefix="portal" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Controls" Assembly="mojoPortal.Web.Controls" TagPrefix="mp" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.ContentUI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Web" TagPrefix="html" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.BlogUI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Features.UI" TagPrefix="blog" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.ForumUI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Features.UI" TagPrefix="forum" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.FeedUI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Features.UI" TagPrefix="feed" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.SharedFilesUI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Features.UI" TagPrefix="sf" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="portal" TagName="ChildPagesSiteMap" Src="~/Controls/ChildPageMenu.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="portal" TagName="mojoRating" Src="~/Controls/mojoRating.ascx" %>

From your error it looks like maybe missing the first <

Hope that helps,

Joe
