In his day job Armand works for XCESS Expertise Center ( a DotNetNuke Gold Partner in the Netherlands ) in the role of Senior DotNetNuke front-end developer. On top of this he also runs his own company 2DNN mainly focusing on conversion from PSD to DotNetNuke, custom JavaScript integrations and DDRMenu templates and can also be found on Twitter and DotNetNuke forums answering questions about these topics. He has been working with DotNetNuke before it was named DotNetNuke. When not working on DotNetNuke related projects Armand likes to play golf, go running, skating and enjoys a good whisky.
In the first article we dissected a DDRMenu XSL structure. In the second article I explained a number of use cases to learn some new XSL and give you ideas about what else is possible using XSL in conjunction with the DDR menu in DotNetNuke. Now we will use all we have learned in the two previous articles to build a basic mega menu from scratch and later extend it with other features.

In the first article of this series we dissected a DDRMenu XSL . Now we are going to make a few sample XSL menus based on a number of live use cases that you may run into while building menus for your skins. In these use cases you will learn the techniques we will use in our third article where we will build a basic mega menu from the start and later extend it with other features.

This is the first in a series of articles on how to use the templating feature of the DDRMenu. This series will be based upon the XSLT template option. We will dissect a basic XSL template step by step so by the end of this article you understand how this works and can understand an XSL template or create your own. Even if you don’t know anything about XSL hopefully by the end of this article you will have a better understanding and working knowledge.
