The first that comes to mind is David Poindexters' https://github.com/nvisionative/nvQuickTheme David is a solid member of the community and I'm sure he'll keep moving this project forward as DNN moves.

I've done a skin skin for testing which can give average designed website, with RocketCDS modules. https://github.com/Rocket-CDS/RocketW3 I'm hoping to do a Bulma Theme version, the W3.CSS is easy, but limited.

Obviously look at the DNN Store, but I never buy skins our designer deals with all design.

You can go for another theme but in general fixing the theme for DNN 10 should not be that difficult.
Did you check admin logs / logs in  _Portals/_default/logs ?
It's in general an old Skin object that needs to be replaced or removed.

BTW, if you get an error on Xcillion I think there's also something else going on as that should work in DNN 10.

Yes I've been looking in the logs that's how I hatched the theory that the issue may be skin related.  This RequestRegistration function not found message comes up again and again.  Once in a while I'll see something about ISearchable (but this is only on the xcillion skinned portal).

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions - DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Method not found: 'Void DotNetNuke.Framework.jQuery.RequestRegistration()'. ---> System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void DotNetNuke.Framework.jQuery.RequestRegistration()'.
   at Bestdnnskins.Multifunction.Layout.OnInit(EventArgs e)

 

 

 

Thanks for the recommendation.  I'll check his theme/skin out after rebuilding the dev environment.

In terms of fixing the existing skin approach, the first three lines of the main DLL and its "OnInit" function are erroring.

There's a suitable replacement for the second line, JavaScript.RequestRegistration(CommonJs.jQuery);

But the third line I cannot find a replacement.


Code:

public class Layout : Skin
{
protected Header1 Header1;

protected Header2 Header2;

protected Header3 Header3;

protected Header4 Header4;

protected HeaderMega1 HeaderMega1;

protected HeaderMega2 HeaderMega2;

protected HeaderMega3 HeaderMega3;

protected HeaderMega4 HeaderMega4;
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
((Skin)this).OnInit(e);
jQuery.RequestRegistration();
jQuery.RequestUIRegistration();

Ok, this is probably based on one Hammerflex?

Anyway, the "normal" way to request jquery is by using the Theme object.

Add this to your ascx:

<code>< %@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="JQUERY" Src="~/Admin/Skins/jQuery.ascx" % ><br /> < dnn:JQUERY ID="dnnjQuery" &#114;&#117;nat="server" / > </code>

 

I don't know the design pattern used, but it's a commercial skin called Multifunction. I believe the company that developed it originally is now defunct, or at least they didn't renew their domain.

This is probably out of my skill set at this point, so I'll just end up going with a new skin that version 10 compatible.

I appreciate the ideas.

https://github.com/ChrisHammond/multifunction is not a commercial theme but open source. And 12 years old, so yeah, for a lot of good reasons time to start fresh :-) 

The reason I thought it was a commercial solution is because multifunction is currently a theme for sale in the DNN store.  The company listed was bestdnnskins.com (website is defunct).
