Hi

How can I add modules to a skin so that when I select the skin for a new page the HTML modules are already there?

many thanks

You do this by creating a Page template. The default page template has the HTML module included. You can create a template using the EXPORT option at the page level

You can't, the only thing that's a bit similar is:
1. Prepare a page with the correct modules on it.
2. Export the page from the Control Panel
3. Now you can select exported page as a the page template if you create a new page.

But AFAIR the Export does not store the skin of the exported page...

So when creating a new page, my client will have to select a page template, a page skin and a page container ! Is there not a more user-friendly way - even if it means more initial setup time. Typically end users are non-technical and need simple one step solutions otherwise they'll be on the phone every time they need to update the website - not really the point of a CMS!
