Hi,

I'm sure the answer to this is staring me in the face but.....how do you install a v6 skin so that the files are copied into the portals/myportal/skins/myskin/ folder and not the _default (host) folder?

I tried installing via Admin/Extensions (as a I normally would) but it all got loaded to the _default.

Any clues as to where I'm going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Phil

Not sure it's possible anymore, this changed for me when we upgraded to 5.x. Drove me nuts editing the wrong skin. :)

I manually copy them over to the appropriate portal folder after installing.

Thanks Jeff, at least it's not just me. I've been in the habit of ftp'ing skins to a site to work aroudn this for some time - thought it might have got fixed in v6. I'' raise a bug report.

Installing a skin as a site skin works in DNN 5, I did not test it in DNN 6 though.
You have to login as host and install the skin from Admin > Extensions.

You cannot install skins as an Admin anymore since DNN 5, because of the security risk.
(This decision has been discussed in the core team and it's going to stay that way AFAIK)

Hello, I'm a newbie and wondering the same thing. Logged in as Host (or SuperUser), and going to Host > Extensions, how do I upload a custom skin zip?

I don't see an "extension wizard" or "upload skin" button anywhere. How do I do I upload a zip of a custom skin?
