Hi,

 I have duplicated a skin file myskin.ascx as mynewskin.ascx . Then I duplicated the accompanying myskin.css file as mynewskin.css  . In the past this has worked for me no problem (mynewskin.css is applied to mynewskin.ascx), but that is not happening now. What am I missing?

 

thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

What problem are you having? Skin just won't load and the default skin displays? Did you move the skin location? If so double check the paths used with the skin.

DNN has to be restarted to see the skin (it's existence is cached to avoid checking if it exists for every page load).

Did you try to restart DNN? If you did check if it's reference in the page source, if not it's most likely a typo or a problem with access rights on the "server"

The problem is (was) the skin not applying the .css file.

Timo I think you nailed it, Just re-starting DNN seemed to fix it. What puzzled me is that sometimes it worked right away (without restarting) other times not at all.

Thank you

Tom

The reason for that could be that if you change the ascx of the skin, that also restarts DNN.
So if you change the ascx and add a new css file and refresh you see both.
If you first change the ascx, the refresh the browser and then add a CSS file it will not get loaded.
