 How do I tell the Terms of Use page and the Privacy Statement Page to open in a different skin when clicked? I can't find any information on this anywhere. Can it even be done? I would imagine it would have to be done somewhere in the .ascx file, but I just am unaware of the proper function.

You can see my dilemma by going to www.rpeurifoy.com and clicking on the terms or privacy page. Thanks for any help!

Terms of Use and Privacy Statement are displayed solely using "Admin Skin" (or "Edit Skin" in DNN5), specified in Admin :: Site Settings, section Appearance.

If you'd like to use a different Skin than specified in Site Settings for all edit and settings views of modules, you may create manually a page for each containing the text in an HTML module and edit the link in the Skin itself.

Hi there,

 What i've done is create a new page with text/html module, copy the whole text from the orogional and paste it in the text/html module.
Specify the skin for the page and then create two hardcoded hyperlinks in the footer of your page to those tabs. I also do this for the login page too, which inherits the site skin and not the admin skin.

hope this helps you
Warren

The second suggestion is a no brainer and definately works. Thank you. The first suggests that the Admin (or Edit for DNN5) Skin specifies which page the terms and privacy statement uses to display. At least in my case, using DNN 5.1.2, that is untrue. It used the Home Page Skin, No matter what I specified in the 'Edit Skin'  menu option. Any other ideas as to why it might be doing this?

I should note: I am overiding the home page skin template that I specified in the admin > site settings page. That means that the terms and privacy statement pages use the home page template specified in the page settings for the home page. I wish it did use the admin skin. Either way, at least I can get it to work by doing some creative work...

Thanks again for the help.

I logged this as a bug/enhancement two month ago.

In this tread I give an other solution, not good but working.
