I'm about to try and skin a catalook store using a tableless CSS design. Having looked at a copy of the standard blue skin it looks like I have my work cut out. Has anyone else got experience of skinning as the forum seems a little quiet on it. I've skinned several DNN portals so I'm no novice but I'm a little nervous when the cart skin is 1240 lines long!! Just could do with some pointers of where to start.
Thanks.
Still pinned. Great. My initial dread at the supplied templates has long gone. After sitting down calmly with a large coffee I've got to grips with it all. The site I'm working on should be live in a couple of weeks so I'll link to it. I still have a couple of questions but they're off topic for this so I'll post them elsewhere. In summary, if you can skin DNN you should be able to skin Catalook (after a little reading up anyway). As a pointer, I used the supplied 'theme-grey' as it had ascx files and just ripped it apart.
Andy.
Sorry to say that I've not done it. Time constraints prevented me from converting it to CSS instead of tweaking the supplied grey theme as I did. Anyway, it's arguably valid to use a table at least for the product list display - that's my excuse anyway. I'd also say that if I'd used the source code version I could've stripped out the unused display controls and made the files easier to handle. I guess because Catalook is built to be 'all things to all men' it is by neccessity bloated making it tricky for the likes of us to restructure it. At least the DNN skin it sits in is pure CSS.
