Can somebody explain me in easy steps how to change the locale selector in for instance the classic DNN-Blue skin to DSLocaleSelector and apply them to a site. I got DSLocalizator working but I am at lost about how to manipulate the skin.

I am using DNN 5.2.1 and DsLocaleSelector 3.0.4 After installing the test skin, I see the [DSPREVIEWACTIVATOR] and [DSLOCALESELECTOR] tokens on my page.

You can see an example of the error on http://www dot khmersupport dot com  /NatureTours/tabid/198/language/en-US/Default.aspx (a test site)

What step am I missing? After download, I imported the test skin into dnn via the extensions page. I parsed the skin in Admin->Skins page. I applied the skin to the tab.

What am I missing?

Dear Locopon,

I am very grateful for the tools you provide for free. I am building a web site for a third-world university in two languages and have no budget for anything commercial. That is one of the reasons why I ended up choosing for DNN. For content localization, DSLocalizator was the only extension that filled my need.

I have complemented the installation with magic content although I later realized I could have achieved the same effect by displaying/hiding modules. But Magic Content adds to the realization that each module is supposed to appear in both languages and needs to be translated.

I have the DS extension running on a live site. I know that this is a beta, but it is the only thing I could find and the web site is conceptually not finished anyway, it is more of a learning site. Have a look at cup (dot) edu (dot) kh

The localization works fine, even the locale selector works perfect when applied as a module. But it is with skins that I encounter the problems. And that is not due to DSLocalizator, it is due to a misfit between the new skinning procedures and the documentation available to me. All explains the production of so-called legacy skins.

There is no how-to-proceed for 5.x skinning. I had hoped that I might procede from your test skin to produce my own, however I need to make it work properly before I can go to the next step. I am sure, it must be something I fail to understand: the test skin works for others, doesn't it?

My hope is that if you or anyone browsing through this forum has a look at the problem in khmersupport (dot) com click on nature tours to see the offending skin - and has an idea what I do wrong, you or he might give me a grasp on what now still remains a deep mystery.

It can't be all that difficult? I know it's something simple.
