I'm having problems following the "help" given on the the page localization demo page http://www.dnnlocalization.com/Default.aspx?tabid=73&ctl=Help&ctlid=229&moduleid=414 . Is there any step-by-step guide i can use make the localized page names visible. When, in the help, you say to "replace the default DotNetNuke menu objects", what do i replace them with?

The pagelocalization module comes with MultiLanguage enabled skinobjects, these are automatically installed when you install the pagelocalization module. If you want to make use of these skinobjects, you will have to change your skin definition. Skins are located either in portals/_default/skin or portals/{portalid}/skin, depending on whether you uploaded your skin as an admin or as a host. The distribution package of PageLocalization contains a sample skin, based on the default dnn blue skin, where the different skinobjects are used. The skinobjects available are MLMENU (replaces SOLPARTMENU), MLTREEVIEW (replaces TREEVIEW), MLPAGETITLE (replaces PAGETITLE, plus takes care of browser title localization), MLBREADCRUMB (replaces BREADCRUMB), MLLINKS (replaces LINKS) If you have questions about how to make a skin, or how to adapt a skin, or how to work with skinobjects, you could read the skinning whitepaper, which is located in the /documentation/public folder of the DotNetNuke source distribution. Another good source for information on how to create a new skin can be found here: http://www.polyduck.co.uk/_data/_word/CreatingDNN3Skins.doc (this is not a document i created, its original reference is here: http://forums.asp.net/887659/ShowPost.aspx) i hope this answered your question cheers, erik

Erik... I'm wondering where to put the substitutions you mentioned (MLMENU, MLPAGETITLE, Etc.)... If I were using an ascx file to define my skin, how would I substitute out for the ML versions of the dnn object? I'm not too familiar with DNN skins, but in the definition, I have something like: <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MENU" Src="~/Admin/Skins/SolPartMenu.ascx" %> but when I navigate in my site to the /Admin/Skins/ folder, I don't see the MLMENU or MLPAGETITLE files, so obviously changing "SolPartMenu.ascx" to "MLMENU.ascx" won't work, right? Where should I look next to figure this out? Thanks

you would have to change <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MENU" Src="~/Admin/Skins/SolPartMenu.ascx" %> into <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MLMENU" Src="~/DesktopModules/PageLocalization/MLMenu.ascx" %> in other words: the skinobjects supplied with PageLocalization are located in the folder /desktopmodules/PageLocalization/. Please check the supplied sample skin for more information on how to use the skinobjects cheers, Erik
