OK, sorted!

I didn't realise that I did indeed have to set the pages to Display Container Titles, as well as apply your container

Great, now I get best of both worlds (no container titles, and XHTML validation)

Thanks again

Yeah, I thought I might be clutching at straws there

Should I be setting the pages to display the container AND apply the containers.zip? I'm still seeing the span tags with div tags inside them (with display container title turned off on the individual pages), even though I have applied the NoTitleContainer.ascx both ways described (yours and Paul in LA)

I might have to live with displaying the titles, it's better than not being able to Validate properly

Thanks, Adrian

I am pretty certain that it works in both DNN4 and DNN5. It contains pretty simple DIVs.

Hi Chris

Is this DNN version specific by any chance?

I'll have another play tomorrow (using DNN 4.9.5) but even after extracting the original linked file to my Containers folder (not called MinimalExtropy ... but I assume I just needed to load it into my actual Container folder) I am still getting validation errors at the same point, though slightly different.

I haven't re-loaded the source code into Visual Studio yet so I'm light on details, but just thought I'd find out first if your NoTitleContainer.ascx was written with a specific DNN version in mind

Thanks, Adrian

Here's what I think you want: http://www.phdcc.com/download/DNN/NoTitleContainerForShep.htm

Put in /Portals/_default/Containers/MinimalExtropy and Parse Skin Package in [Admin][Skins]

I made this by copying Title_Blue.htm and chopping out the h2 tag with class c_title.

Chris,

Can you post instructions (or an updated file) on how to change your no title container with the actions and icon in the top left instead of in the footer? We don't want the title in the container but prefer our actions to be at the top.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the ascx and html.
I figured out how to install the ascx.

To Install in DNN4 or DNN5

Put the NoTitleContainer.ascx into Containers.zip and that into NoTitleContainer.zip

DNN4

Admin > Skins - Upload Skin

DNN5

Host > Modules – Install Module

DNN will complain there is no .dnn Manifest file and ask you if this is a SKIN or Container or Module

specify Container

follow instructions and you should see the NoTitleContainer as a choice in the Container dropdownlist.

Thanks, Paul

I've added in a link to a zip of the extra files that I've added. Note that this is not a proper container file. Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the Post confirming a problem I'm facing.

I want to use the Inventua SideMenu on a page but I don't want the default Container (No Container.ascx ) which has no style with a left padding to offset the Menu items built.

So, I now need to figure out how to create the very simple NoContainer.ascx in my own Custom Container ... Wish you had posted your Container.zip
