I uploaded the skin object PA so I could use the andreas01 skin from dnncreative.com.
I installed it, DNN says everything went fine (4.4.1 version, old, I know), and the andreas01 skin works okay BUT...
I get in my left column the token showing!!
[HOUSEMENU]
Should I uninstall everything and start all over again??
I installed the HON skinobject PA through the skins/container uploader.
Thank you, Tom
(I'm new to DNN and I have to get a site skinned and running as soon as possible, I'm quite behind on this project, sigh.) |

In case you haven't figured this one out. You shoud install the skinobject as a module and not as a skin.
After the installation it should show in the list of skinobjects which you can find in the module definitions section.

In case you haven't looked go here: http://www.moosespace.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx
When I installed. HouseMenuSkinObjectPA_01.04.01.beta.zip as a module, I got "Houselinks" added as a module and that's all. I added that module to the page, added a link. I don't see how it should/is working.
Part of my problem was that I needed HouseMenuModulePA_01.04.01.beta.zip (not the SkinObjectPA? I installed that and now I have a HouseMenu Module I can insert and configure, but I still have a "[HOUSEMENU] where I expected to see a real menu.
We are all using skins that reference the [HOUSEMENU] tag as the readme.txt file refers to, but it does not seem to be working.
I'm going to need more explanation. |

If you are using the module, why should you also use the skinobject at the same time?
I just tried to remove the solpartmenu and used only the module and didn't encounter any problems.

Marc
PS: are you using HTML or ASCX based skins?

My question: Are you saying I should uninstall the skinobject module? I am a newbie and I accidently choose the wrong one...so apparently HOUSEMENU and SKINOBJECT are two different House of Nuke Menu options???
I just tried to remove the solpartmenu and used only the module and didn't encounter any problems.
My response: Congratulations? I am not sure what this means. Are you wanting me to remove the solpartmenu module? If I find it, not sure I want to remove it.
Regards,
Marc

My answer: I am using a free template offered by Summer breeze from DNN Creative:
http://www.dnncreative.com/Articles/tabid/99/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/263/Summer-Breeze--Free-DotNetNuke-CSS-Skin.aspx
it claims to be XHTML and CSS.

| I am also using one of the skins that DNNCreative shared with the community (Andreas09 - http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/Andreas09/tabid/357/Default.aspx) and I have it installed in a 3.x and 4.x environment and it works well in the 3.x environment but displays the same [HOUSEMENU] in the 4.x environment just as "t hanig" post suggests. I have it installed as a module and it is showing up under the Module Definitions --> Skin Objects. The DNN install is a fresh install as well. I would be happy to experiment if you have any suggestions. |

| I was able to get this fixed by Removing the skin completely and removing the House Menu skin object and module. I thin reinstalled the Skin object, then the module and the I installed the skin through the Admin skins page. It is working nicely now. |

In other words we are supposed to install the HON menu item as both a module and as a skin object??
I installed it as a module only and the andreas skins worked fine for me.
From what people are saying above, do I have to install the HON menu skin object as well as the module object??
The 1.04 version contains no documentation, but the 1.02 download does have documentation, do I have to also install the HON menu skin object in order to view/modify the HON menu settings??
Thank you, Tom |

install them both separately through host > module definitions > add new module
dnn will automatically register the module and skin object.

| I fixed it using AndLynn's procedures. I removed the House Skin Object and Module, then I removed the skins. Then I reinstalled HouseMenuModulePA_01.04.01.beta.zip and then the skins through the Admin skins page and it works. I think the issue is trying to install the skins (when [HOUSEMENU] is not defined and then after that installing the HouseMenuModulePA_01.04.01.beta.zip -- [HOUSEMENU] gets defined but that's too late for the installed skins. I think maybe just deleting the skin packages and reapplying them through the Admin skins page might have fixed it. |

There's an explanation for this behavior. When you install a HTML skin, it gets parsed to an ASCX file. If the HouseMenu skin object does not exist when it gets parsed, then the tag shows in the ASCX skin page. Since this won't change until the skin is parsed with the HouseMenu object installed, unless you reinstall or reparse the skin, you'll see this behavior. You don't need to uninstall anything. Once the skin object is installed, using the Add Module process, simply reparse the skin. You do not need the HouseMenu module if you only use the HouseMenu skin object, and vice versa.
