RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX

Telerik DNN SkinObjects and modules are installed just like any dnn module. Here is a step-by-step procedure:

  1. Go to Host(or Admin) -> Module Definitions

  2. Click on the "Install New Module" link

  3. Browse to the location on your machine where you have downloaded the Telerik.DNN.SkinObjects_[version].zip or Telerik.DNN.Modules_[version].zip file

  4. Select Telerik.DNN.SkinObjects_[version].zip or Telerik.DNN.Modules_[version].zip and press "Install New Module"

     
Caution

Note that Telerik does not distribute the RadControls for DNN package anymore. The latest version those are available is Q2 2012 (2012.2.607).

Before using the RadUpload or RadCalendar module, please follow the steps from these topics respectively:

RadEditor Provider for DNN

Note

Although Telerik.DNN.SkinObjects_[version].zip are installed as a module, they are not regular dnn modules which you can insert in the content panes. You should use them as skin objects as explained further down.

If you have installed the Telerik DNN SkinObjects, the Telerik.SkinObjects folder will be added in [MyDnnWebSite]/DesktopModules. It will contain the DNN wrappers (SkinObjects) for the Telerik controls listed in this topic. If you need to use any of the available SkinObjects, please make sure that you register the file with the path to its location. For example:

CopyXML
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="RADMENU" Src="~/DesktopModules/Telerik.SkinObjects/RadMenu.ascx" %>

Using Telerik ASP.NET AJAX SkinObjects in DNN

Suppose that you want to replace the default menu of the MinimalExtropy dnn skin with RadMenu. Here are the steps to achieve this:

  1. Open the index.ascx file located at:[MyDnnWebSite]\Portals\_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy

  2. Register the RadMenu SkinObject

    CopyXML
    <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="RADMENU" Src="~/DesktopModules/telerik.skinobjects/RadMenu.ascx" %>

  3. Now you can go ahead and add RadMenu within the skin and customize it using the built-in properties of the control plus the additional properties from the RadMenu API reference table . Here is a sample RadMenu declaration:

CopyXML
<dnn:RADMENU runat="server" id="dnnRADMENU" Skin="Outlook" MaxLevel="0"   />
Note

The same approach applies to the other Telerik SkinObjects.
