Need Help | Oracle UCM 11g | Creation of new layout

Question

Hi All,
This is regarding the problem we are facing to create a new layout and skin. We followed all the steps that were needed to create a new layout/skin but still we are getting errors after deploying the component. Since there were major changes in 11g, we are not able to proceed with debugging as well. (part of the reason being code clean-up is not done properly and we are going to wrong files while debugging.)
Having said, I need your help/advice in solving my problem. Below are the problems I am facing once I deploy the component.
1) Even though I am mentioning that skin.css and layout.js should be published from “publish/resources…” folder, different skin.css and layout.css files were getting deployed. Not sure from where the content server is picking those files from. I am placing the skin.css and layout.css from TopMenus/Trays to continue my testing.
<tr>
<td>publish/resources/layouts/NBNTrays/layout.js</td>
<td>resources/layouts/NBNTrays/layout.js</td>
<td>TRAYS_LAYOUT_JS</td>
<td>javascript:layout:NBNTrays</td>
<td>60</td>
<td><$if isLayoutEnabled("NBNTrays") and (not DisableNBNTraysPublishing)$><$doPublish = 1$><$endif$></td>
</tr>
2) After the component gets deployed and we publish all static files, I am able to change the layout/skin to my custom layout/skin. Top menus is working fine, but in Trays layout I am not able to see the left navigation.
3) Though I am saying to copy all the images from resources/trays folder, component is copying only some subset of images from the corresponding folders.
<tr>
<td>resources/layouts/Top Menus/Oracle</td>
<td>resources/layouts/NBNTopMenus/NBNSkin</td>
<td>resources:layout:NBNTopMenus</td>
<td>70</td>
<td><$if isLayoutEnabled("NBNTopMenus") and (not DisableNBNSkinSkinPublishing) and (not DisableNBNTopMenusPublishing)$><$doPublish = 1$><$endif$></td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
Can you please tell me how can we associate new layout.js and skin.css to the new layout/skin.
Please note that all the above problems were coming in 11g.
Thanks in advance,
Regards:
