Hi all

First I would like to say that this menu look really great. It open doors to many possibilities and a lot of people talk about it. You guys certainly do a wonderful job.

I'am new to this tools and peoples refer me to you in order to get things done like I would like too. My customer would like to get the page description under his menu item and I heard that it could be achived with this menu and xsl template. I already worked on the skin with the standard DNN Nav and the job is almost completed (without the page description). In order to understand my needs you can check the side menu of my customer actual website at www.cpavarennes.com (this is not the DNN version, it is representing what i'am trying to do).

So I install everything and I follow the upgrade information. But now, not only my menu does not use the css style but I could not even found the way to get the description page. In other words .... i'am completly lost. You should note that i'am working within a development environment with Visual Studio 2008.

Is there is a kind of user guide I can read that will explain me all the possibilities or is there is anybody that could help me found the way to use this tool. I sure that everything is really powerful but I just don't know where to start.

- Should I always define a template ?

- Should I remove the Nav tag and switch it to yours ?

- May I still use css for the look and feel ?

My header is now including :

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAV" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="SOLPARTMENU" Src="~/Admin/Skins/SolPartMenu.ascx" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="ddr" TagName="MENU" Src="~/DesktopModules/DDRMenu/Menu.ascx" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="ddr" Namespace="DNNDoneRight.DDRMenu" Assembly="DNNDoneRight.DDRMenu" %>

and the skin was initially
<dnn:NAV CSSNode="SideMenuNode" CSSNodeHover="SideMenuNodeHover" CSSContainerSub="SideMenuSub" CSSNodeHoverSub="SideMenuSubHover" runat="server" StartTabId="73" Level="child" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="true" id="NAV2" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" IndicateChildren="false" ControlOrientation="vertical" />
and now it is
<dnn:NAV CSSNode="SideMenuNode" CSSNodeHover="SideMenuNodeHover" CSSContainerSub="SideMenuSub" CSSNodeHoverSub="SideMenuSubHover" runat="server" StartTabId="73" Level="child" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="true" id="NAV2" ProviderName="DDRMenuNavigationProvider" IndicateChildren="false" ControlOrientation="vertical" />

Result, I lost all the design of the menu items

Thanks for your help

Steph
