The appearance (layout, colors, fonts, etc.) of an ASP Slideshow is defined in a template (CSS configuration file). By adapting the template, the appearance of the slideshow can be modified as you choose. The best templates from our creative community are regularly made available for downloading free of charge!
Importing a Template from the community portal
When selecting the menu item "Manage Templates" of the module (screenshot) you obtain an overview of the existing templates. To make a new template available for a slideshow, you simply import a template (screenshot) from the community portal into the slideshow.
1. Download a template from the community portal to your local harddisk.
2. Login to your DotNetNuke portal with host or admin permissions.
3. Navigate to the page where ASP Slideshow is located.
4. From the Module drop-down menu select "Manage Templates".
5. Here you can see the list of the pre-installed templates.
6. Select "Browse" from the bottom or top of the listings.
7. Browse to the directory where downloaded template is located and select the package
8. Confirm by clicking the "Import" button.
Modifying a Template Via Integrated Editor
The most important settings can be modified from the user friendly configuration page (screenshot) of the module. For modification of templates (CSS), a professional code editor (screenshot) with real time syntax highlighting is already built in for your convenience. This offers direct editing and modification capabilities for those more technically savvy, and does away with time-consuming download / uploading. To get a feeling for the way templates function you should copy an existing template folder and allocate this new folder to the slideshow as a new template. Then modify the commented definitions in "template.css".
