DNNCreative Magazine at http://www.dnncreative.com/ has some spectacular tutorials for skinning.  I found it to be the absolute best in learning how to make a skin work.

thanks for all the various tips, I still can't get it to work thoug.

 

What I have now is that the default skins resides in the _default folder

I have uploaded my skin into the portalfolder/0/skins/myskinfolder trough ftp

I still cant have two different skins if I change skin in apperance under admin for the site it just changes skin when I am inlogged and not on the frontend, just on the backend as before..

I have to change in the apperence settings all the times since the sitenavigation pane always dissapears..

Is there no possibillty how to make me smarter on this, and how the %¤#%#¤ do I have one untouched skin for the backend and one my own skin for the frontend? and say for example i want to remove the login feature on the frontend how do I then login?

i just want to point out this is the skin for the backend let it be like that, and this is the skin for the fronend and its the one iäve put in the portals folder and that i can play with and put it up trough ftp..

Please help again!

Cheers!

You should not move the default skin to the _default folder, this folder is used for other purposes.

The admin skin is the skin that is used for Edit page and all pages under the admin menu item.

Leave the default skin in it's folder, copy the whole folder with another name.

Apply the default skin as Admin skin and the edited skin as portal skin.

If you don't want a login link on your custom skin, you have to remove the login Skinobject from the skin (read the skinning Documentation if you don't know what I'm talking about).

You should then be able to login with this link: http://www.mywebsite.com/default.aspx?ctl=login

One of the web developers created a CMS site with DNN and instead of using a Register/Login link, they set up a page url to login.  The client lost this url and I don't know what to look for in the files to find that page.
