Dreamweaver extension for DotNetNuke skinning

Overview

This extension makes DotNetNuke skinning really fast and easy. How many times you have run to the skinning documentation to find the right attribute for a skin object you needed? Now you have all skin objects and their attributes on hand.

License: This extension is a contribution to the DotNetNuke community and cannot be sold for any purpose.
Feedback: Post your questions or comments in the forums.
Download: You can download the extension in our Downloads Area.

Usage

Download the extension and install to your Dreamweaver using your extension manager. After the installation, run start Dreamweaver and find the DotNetNuke menu under the Insert menu item. Also if you have your Insert toolbar enabled you will find a new panel group there (take a look at the screen shots). You can enable your Insert toolbar by checking the View > Toolbars > Insert.

To insert a DNN skin object, put the cursor at the point you want to insert the DNN tag in your code and click the appropriate icon at your DotNetNuke insert toolbar (or browse the Insert > DotNetNuke > DNN skin objects menu). A dialogue box will appear where you can see the available attributes and set their values. If you want an attribute not to appear in the tag, just leave it blank. When you are ready, click OK and the DNN tag with the attributes and their values will be inserted in your code.

Notes:
- DNN tags can be inserted only when you are in code mode.
- DNN tokens can be inserted both in code or design mode.
- There are also some buttons where I have put some useful code snippets like skinpath.
