Your first problem is solvable if you know ASP.NET (to add to your skin), not with default DNN.

Since a skin is just a user control you can add a placeholder in an "empty" skin file.
Then from code you load the right skin "user control" (ascx file) in that placeholder, depending on the user.

The anwer to the second question is: no, DNN always injects these tags.

(I'm don't see why these would be a problem, if you need spans you can add display inline in your skin)

Hello Timo,

I understand what you mean.

You create an empty placeholder and then populate it with the skin of choice.

How do you get the user info from the skin user control?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am using SkinA Package for a page and when I am logged in I want to use MinimalExtropy.

Here is my code for the file  /Portals/_default/Skins/SkinA/index.ascx

<% if (UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().UserID == -1)
   {%>

..........................SKINA .............................

<% }
   else
  { %>
  <asp:PlaceHolder ID="phAdminSkin" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
<%
       phAdminSkin.Controls.Add(LoadControl("~/Portals/_default/Skins/MinimalExtropy/index.ascx"));
   }
    %>

It doesn't seem to do anything.

Is it the correct way to do it?

Thanks.

Didier
