can you explain what you mean? Creating pages is done through the dnn interface, not through a navigational object. Do you mean something like the new page templates solution in dnn 3.3.1 / 4.3.1 ?

Skins and containers are 2 seperate things, you cannot force the use of a particular container in a skin. The page template system is not very good documented i think, and it's lacking a creation interface at the moment. The easiest way to create a new page template is to create a portal template (preferrably from a portal with just one page.. the page you want to use as a template), and then strip out everything that is not needed for a template. You can find the default page template in the folder /portals/_default/templates, this is the default page template:

<portal version="3.0">
  <description>Default page template with just an HTML/Text module</description>
  <tabs>
    <tab>
      <panes>
        <pane>
          <name>ContentPane</name>
          <modules>
            <module>
              <title>Enter Title</title>
              <cachetime>0</cachetime>
              <alignment>left</alignment>
              <color />
              <border />
              <iconfile />
              <alltabs>false</alltabs>
              <visibility>Maximized</visibility>
              <header />
              <footer />
              <startdate>0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+11:00</startdate>
              <enddate>0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+11:00</enddate>
              <containersrc>
              </containersrc>
              <displaytitle>true</displaytitle>
              <displayprint>true</displayprint>
              <displaysyndicate>false</displaysyndicate>
              <inheritviewpermissions>true</inheritviewpermissions>
              <modulepermissions>
                <permission>
                  <permissioncode>SYSTEM_MODULE_DEFINITION</permissioncode>
                  <permissionkey>EDIT</permissionkey>
                  <rolename>Administrators</rolename>
                  <allowaccess>true</allowaccess>
                </permission>
              </modulepermissions>
              <definition>Text/HTML</definition>
            </module>
          </modules>
        </pane>
      </panes>
    </tab>
  </tabs>
</portal>

As you can see from this exampl, you can define which pane(s) you want to add module(s) to, and for each module, you can define the container (at the containersrc element)

cheers,

Erik
