Hi,

I'm running DNN 3.0.13 and when I change the skin to "SalarOCrystal" (any skin actually), it changes on the admin pages and all internal pages of my site, but it never touches the look and feel of the home page of the site.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?  I went in to the Host/Host Settings/Advanced/Other Settings/Skin Upload Permissions and made sure it was set to Portal and not Host.  That didn't work and it didn't matter which option is selected, either.

No one has modified the original core DNN files, either.  All modifications to the site have been done through the admin pages.

Does anyone have a suggestion?  I have no idea what is going on.

I've done a video which you can download that explains about the installation and applying skins to your site - it will answer these questions for you. It covers a few common questions that sometimes is not picked up in documentation.

  • Host is installation specific
  • Admin - is site specific 

So if you go into your Admin/settings, you'll see you can change the settings there it will change the site look and feel.

But you might need to go and modify the Page/settings/Advance skin - it sounds like you might have a skin set on the front page of the site.

There are different places you can manage your skins -

  1.  host/settings
  2.  admin/settings
  3.  page/settings

All of these will produce a different result.

I hope this helps you.

Thanks Nina. I shouldn't be surprised to see you help me out. You are very 'famous'!!! I think the real problem that we were having had to do with the skin version we used. It was only for version > 3.1. We were running 3.0.13. However that doesn't explain the fact that the skin I mentioned above wasn't showing on the home page. But I don't know at this point if that truly is a skin included with the DNN core package. I'm thinking it's not and one of my associates installed it and hence why we're having issues. We're going to upgrade to version 4 from 3.0.13. I think we'll probably have better luck once we do that. Thanks again, You are the best. Jimmy

Hi Jimmy - Please don't say the word famous.. I get very embarrassed by this..    . Perhaps talkative is a better description.   I can proudly wear that one when it comes to DNN! (just ask my kids)

NOW I KNOW what you're talking about - amazing when you get all the facts isn't.

Ok yes I know what that will be - comment out the language selector it wasn't in the 3.013 build and if you look at your logs you will probably see an error regarding to it. If I'm correct, I believe it was the 3.1+ build that had the localisation and skins coming out after that which had languages code in it didn't work.

By default if there is a problem with a skin, then it reverts back to the default blue skin. But I'm surprised your other pages didnt' come up with error to alert you.

You should at the very least upgrad to 3.1.1 or 3.2.2 - DNN4, I think at this exact date - might still require work to get extra modules running.   I believe that 3.2.2 /latest 3 build is regarded as the most stable.

People are only updating to 4 if they require developing in the VS2005/SQL 2005 environment on the aspnet 2 platform.

While some people have upgraded, I'd be taking lots of backups first..

Now I think we need to ask a few more questions to give people the answers they need.

Anyway for now - check the languages and check the search perhaps - and remove those tokens and refresh the skins.
