I have a few questions.
1. Is it possible to have more than just 3 content panes ?
2. Can a content module span more than one content pane ?

These questions arise because I am trying to create a site from this template I got from template monster - http://www.templatemonster.com/show.php?templ=5042&type=1&cat=sent&sent_date=2004-04-30&PHPSESSID=47459e26406023686700c44c5ba81418

Hi Paul

One possibility is to use the CS Multipage module from BonoSoft.
It allows for multiple text/html pages on the same content pane.

Go Here for the DNN 2.0 version: http://beta.dotnetnuke.dk/Default.aspx?tabid=25

Portal Skins support up to 10 uniquely named panes. You can not have three ContentPane but you can have ContentPane1, ContentPane2, ContentPane3. etc.

Could you achieve the same effect either by making your panes collapsable?

BannerPane
HeaderPane
LeftPane ContentPane RightPane
FooterPane
MessagePane

What do you mean with 'Can a content module span more than one content pane?'
Should I compare this with a 'colspan' kind of thing in a table? In that case, I don't think it is possible.

One solution could be to add three panes to your skin in two rows. One with a colspan of two and the others in a separate row.

If you just want to have a different layout for one (or a few) tab(s). You can create a second skin that has the desired layout and set the correct Skin in each tab.

I think I want what you suggested in the second paragraph. Looking in the Skinning Whitepaper I do not see any reference to "colspan". Am I missing something ? I'm a newbie at this.

There is no 'COLSPAN' for modules. Just used it as a comparison.

Anyway, what you should do, kind of, is make a skin with following 'main' section

<table>
<tr>
<td ID="SpanPane" runat="server" visible="false" colspan=2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td ID="LeftPane" runat="server" visible="false"></td>
<td ID="RightPane" runat="server" visible="false"></td>
</tr>
</table>

If you upload this kind of skin, you will get a pane in the top row (called SpanPane) and two panes next to each other in the bottom row (called LeftPane and RightPane).

You should add your 'spanning' module to the SpanPane, and the other modules to the other pane(s).

You can extend this solution with other panes up to a maximum of 10 panes.

I think that's what I want. Thank you for your help. Greatly appreciated.
