If I added a new control, something simple like below.  How can I add the stylesheet settings to it?

Thanks

newcontrol.ascx

 <table class="ForumsBackGroundTableLight" cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="3" width="220">
  <tr>
   <th  align="left" colspan="2">
    &nbsp;HEADEDR
   </th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td  align="left" valign="top" colspan="2">
    <table cellspacing="1" border="0" cellpadding="2">
     <tr>
      <td align="left">
       <font size="-1">*</font><a href=""><font size="-1" color="#003366">ITEM 1</a></font>
      </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
      <td align="left">
       <font size="-1">*</font><a href=""><font size="-1" color="#003366">ITEM 2</a></font>
      </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
     
    </table>

Hi Derek,

Good question the table template is something like...

<table width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="ForumsBackGroundTable"><tr><td>

  <table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1">
  <tr><td class="ForumsHeader" colspan="2">My New Control</td></tr>
  <tr><td class="ForumGroupHeader" colspan="2">Sub Header</td></tr>
  <tr>
  <td width="20" class="ForumsBody2">Forum Name:</td>
  <td width="98%" class="ForumsBody1">Some content here...</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

</td></tr></table>

Hope this helps

How would you link that control if its outside of the forum files...for instance, outside of having it in the header "If.global.js " file.  I'm using the forums for the intranet part, but I like the style, so i wanted to continue to use the box layouts throughout, without that header I lose the stye sheets.

Hi Derek,

To use the styles outside the application you could simply add the style sheet to the top of your user control. For example...

<link href="http://www.domain.com/forums/skins/Classic/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

or in your ascx add...

<link id="StyleSheet" runat="server"/>

then in your ascx.vb add...

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)

        If Session("InstantForum_Skin") <> "" And Session("InstantForum_SkinPath") <> "" Then
            StyleSheet.Attributes("href") = Session("InstantForum_Skin") & "style.css"
        Else
            StyleSheet.Attributes("href") = _
            ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("InstantForum_SkinURL") & _
            ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("InstantForum_DefaultSkin") & "/style.css"
        End If
  
End Sub

Dear Birdin,

No. In InstantForum 4v the way you can know about the current Skin is:

InstantASP.InstantForum.HttpContext.Current.Current .CurrentSkin()
