Hi everyone, i'm facing a problem with the XML reference to my skins, at first i've created a XML for each html file that i had in my package, but i need to change that, i want that all the skins in my package use the same XML file. Is that possible?? i'm using the DNN 4.9.2 version.

Example: Students.html                      -------------> school.xml

               Departments.html                -------------> school.xml

I have readed the Skinning documentaion of DNN, and there is a paragraph talking about that:

"A skin package can contain a global attributes specification named “skin.xml” ( or
“container.xml” for containers )  which applies to all skin files in the package. In
addition, you can also override the global skin attribute specification with a skin
specific attribute specification by providing a “skinfilename.xml” file. The skin
uploader will merge the skin attributes with the HTML presentation file to create an
ASCX skin file. The following XML fragment represents the structure of the
attributes file: "

I've tryed that in all possible ways but its not working. Please, if someone have the solution help me.

Thnks :)

Or, just drop the HTML/XML parsing and work up the skins in ASCX files. I've recently switched myself, and I've got to say my life is a whole lot more simple now. Editing them live is much less of a hassle, as is keeping my source files consistant with the production files. However, I still cheat a bit on occaision. I have several layout templates I use frequently, and when I'm feeling particularly lazy, I just pass those through the parser and then use the ASCX to go from there. I'm hoping to move to developing on a localhost setup with Visual Developer but right now it's faster for me to just keep plugging them out by hand. However, if you're still getting acclimated to the DNN Skinning system, definitely stay with the HTML/XML parsing system for now. In the meantime, I'd just make the HTML/XML files, then copy-paste the contents of the 'master' XML file to their related skin xml files. It's a hassle, but AFAIK that's the only way to get there as DNN requires  SkinA.html and SkinA.xml .
