I would like to know if the developers are planniung support of Artmenu, that Artisteer (DotNetNuke skin generator www.artisteer.com) is using in their skins? More and more DNN developers start to use Artisteer as a skin generator... |

Hi,
We have looked back a while ago at the Artisteer menu. The menu is not implemented using the standard DNN NavObject, so it cannot be implemented easily.
If this menu hasn't changed since we have looked at it, the menu that is used by the produced skins is not implemented with compiled code (the code behind is editable directly in the website files, without recompiling). This code should be investigated and modified in order to scope menu nodes with current portal language.
If anyone can implemented this and provide us with modified source code, we will include it and make this available to everyone.
We will not have time to implement support for this menu until 2010. |

We are working on a quick release of Localization Extensions. Can you provide us with a skin produced by Artisteer? |
|

how can i send you/ upload the skin file? |
|

I assume Artisteer produces a zip that contains the skin, please send this zip to support @ ourdomain
Thanks! |

OK, finally read the updated manual of 1.30 and applied the patch to ArtMenuSO.ascx.vb
It partially works now! "de" and "en" are no longer shown, but the real menu-tabs (the two on the left) are not displayed properly, the mouse-over- or selected-tab-highlights are not displays. Though the tabs ARE displayed for the two entries on the right "Login" and "SuperUser Account", both of which are rendered by DNN itself (5.2.2 BTW, if I remember correctly).
More problematic: the "Host" and "Admin" menu entries are no longer displayed which right now causes my site to be unusable as administrator :-(

EDIT: okay, Admin and Host dashboards are accessible via top right shortcuts, so that ain't a big problem anymore.

Hi,
Thanks for the information, we needed someone just like you who could run some tests as we are lacking time currently to make sure everything is ok.
I have a new untested build that should fix your rendering issue. If you want to test it, please send us an email at support @ ourdomain and I will send you the build.
As for the admin and host menu not present, it is a limitation present with some 3rd party menus when using our extensions. Under DNN 5, you can access the host and admin items from the control panel (top right).
Thanks for working with us on implementing support for Artisteer. |

Hi!
Sent you an email with the addresses you could send the build for testing to. Seems it didn't reach you, will send it again via your contact form in a few minutes. I'd really like to do the testing :-) |

BTW: one additional thing I noticed: breadcrumb navigation does not work properly, there's a veeery strange behaviour...
Top level item (TAB item): not shown in breadcrumb
http://www.c-minds.net/files/cms/2010-02-26_085504_commented.png
1st level menu-item below TAB: only item shown in breadcrumb
http://www.c-minds.net/files/cms/2010-02-26_085515_commented.png
2nd level menu-item below TAB: breadcrumb shows all three levels
http://www.c-minds.net/files/cms/2010-02-26_085524_commented.png
I don't know if this is related to Localization Extensions, just wanted
to let you know... haven't checked with other skins though...
ADD: tested with "MinimalEntropy" and some free dnnskins.com (i.e.
XD5Flowers) skins. Breadcrumb works for TAB and 1st level menu-item,
for 2nd level menu-items the breadcrumb shows "en > Homepage > Testpage > Testpage 2", so I guess it is an LE-related issue.
ADD2: for "admin" and "host" dashboards the breadcrumb also works with
TAB and 1st level, as you stated, these are handled differently by
ArtMenu (or not at all). |

| Well, the whole ADMIN and HOST area seem to be a bit screwed up with Artisteer Skins, has to use MinimalEntropy or other skin here.
Adding/moving/editing pages does not work, gives a lot of ASP.NET errors about "page not available" or something.
Anyway... LE in general work great, I'm very impressed. I guess it's my fault I'm using Artisteer ;-) Still hope you/we get those tweaks in ArtMenu fixed, hope I could help you with my workaround-additions. |

Hi,
I am using DNN5 with LE 1.29 and an Artisteer menu too. Will you send me the build LE 1.30 for testing please?
Thank you.

| Hi Karel,
I don't know wether Etienne already answered you personally. Right now there are some minor things to figure out, I'm currently helping him a little fixing the last glitches, just sent him a mail. Guess there will be a 1.31 or 1.32 soon.

The developer posted download links for version 1.32 her:
http://www.adequation-dotnetnuke.com/en/Support/Forums/forumid/4/threadid/919/scope/posts.aspx
I just tested the version, some major problems are fixed, but the ArtMenu does not work properly with that version, the tabs are not highlighted etc.
Since I guess Etienne is asleep right now (GMT+1 here, Canada is a view hours behind ;-)) I took the liberty to modifiy his code to fix that issue and sent him the changes by mail.
If you want to try the fix, below is the download link. This fix is _*NOT*_ official!! DNN5 is required! The DLL contained does _*NOT*_ support other menu systems LE normally supports! It is _*ONLY*_ for to be used for _*TESTING*_ and not to used in a productive environment!!!
I''ll leave the file up for one or two days.
IMPORTANT:
Included are the compiled DLL for DNN5 to be placed in "DotNetNuke\bin" and the "ArtMenuSO.ascx.vb" file which contains additional modifications to Artisteers menu system. "ArtMenuSO.ascx.vb" needs to be placed in "DotNetNuke\DesktopModules\ArtMenuSO", make sure to _*BACKUP*_ the original file before overwriting. Also remember this file is overwritten when you install another Artisteer skin, so also backup the modified file, just in case.

@Etienne: since you deliver the sources, I hope it's OK for you I give Rusty the chance to try my fix, might save you some time  |
