I need to create a portal that supports two skins: 1) a "normal" skin and 2) a "text-only" type of skin. This second skin is to allow the site to be more accessible to users with disabilities.

One thing I thought of that I couldn't figure out how to do was to create a second portal but have it point at the first portal. That would enable my to apply the two skins. I could then add a link at the top of every page on the 1st portal that said "text-only" version and redirect it the text version.

The site has a boatload of content, so it's imperative that only one physical portal exists.

I'm sure at least some of you have encountered this. How did you deal with it?

Thanks,

Scott

I know that there is way to change the page skin by passing a parameter in the URL... but do not remember what it is. :(

Its something like: skin=nameofskin...

Ok - I think I got it... it is SkinSrc!

So you would link like this: Default.aspx?SkinSrc=MySkinName

Hope this helps.

Great idea! Thanks. That works, but the only problem I have with it is persisting that parameter throughout the site.

Is there a way to make DNN to do this?

I tried using IIS by creating a new alias to the portal with a new ip address. I configured IIS to redirect to that page and add the ?SKinSrc= to every request. That didn't work because it recursively called itslef.

I then tried enhancing SiteUrls.Config. But I couldn't figure out a regular expression that would pull it off. I think this may be the most promising route. Anyone out there know how to write a url rewrite rule to always append a name-value pair?

Thank again, Antonio.
