In 5.4.1, when I delete a skin in use by a portal,  I get the message that it got deleted. I refresh the portal which used the skin and the portal still shows the same skin. Is this expected behavior?

did you delete the skin or the skin installation package? You shouldn't try to delete skins, while they are in use.

Tony,

You may also want to check to see if you've installed the skin in the Host extensions and the Admin extensions for the portal you're in.

If you've installed through both and applied the site skin but deleted the host skin, it will still be installed and working for the portal you're in.

You also shouldn't be able to delete the skin through DNN if it's currently in use on any pages, so it sounds like you deleted a skin that wasn't being used.

Regards,

Rick.

 What's the difference? I deleted the skin from the extensions option in host. All the skins are installed from the host. I want a force deletion when, as a host, i want all portals to stop using a certain skin. What if a portal doesn't change a to-be-deleted skin when requested to? The host then needs to spend time figuring out who is using the skins and wait for the portals to change their skin. What if they don't change.

The other issue is that DNN doesn't indicate that a skin is in use and it can't delete a used skin. It actually says skin has been deleted and so I expect it to be deleted.

 All skins are installed through the host. Portals can't install their own skins. So all portals are using host skins. These skins are in the skins folder under the _default folder under portals. No 'skins' folder exist for any portal.

I have one browser open on a portal. I have another window in a different browser logged in as a host and I delete the skin, uninstall with delete files. DNN says it deleted the skin. I refresh the portal and the same skin shows up. I still see the folder for that skin under the _default/skin which indicates that DNN didn't delete the skin. Two bugs here? DNN doesn't delete skins that are in use. DNN should not delete a skin that is in use. Still need a way to force a skin delete and make portals which use that skin use a default skin.

This is the latest 5.4.1.
