Hi 

Is there any way to change theme colors (blue, red etc ) in DNN skin using C# code . I do not want users in my DNN site to change the theme colors.I need to preset the colors for each user.

there is no mechanism built into DNN but you could add a color property to DNN user profile properties (in Site Settings > Manage User Profile) and retrieve it using Text skinobject with tokenReplace or inline code retrieving the property in the skin (e.g. by including a different css file).

Thanks for the reply.I am just wondering whether color changing can be done by loading different css files based on user ids.

For an example, user 1 - themes/Red.css,user 2 - themes/Blue.css etc..

I just do not know where to change the code.

I have seen how to load skins based on roles in following tutorial.

Dynamically Change DotNetNuke Skins by Security Role

http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/cid/134745/dynamically-change-dotnetnuke-skins-by-security-role

Code snippet are as follows.

UserInfo oUser = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo();
if (this.UserInfo != null && this.UserInfo.UserID > Null.NullInteger)
{
    if (this.UserInfo.IsInRole("My Security Role"))
    {
        // import/using System.Web.HttpCookie 
        Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie("SkinSrc", "[G]Skins/DarkKnight/Home-Mega-Menu.ascx"));
    }
    else
    {
        // either assign another skin, or do nothing 
    }
}
else
{
    // either assign another skin, or do nothing 
}

I think managing colors per user sounds like a huge admin overhead. If you really must do it then I would mark up the skin to generate a class based on the user id. Here is a snippet I use in a skin to mark up the tabid and the tabname. You could use a similar idea to grab the UserId. Attach this to the outermost div in the skin.



class='TabID<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID%> TabName&lt;%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName.Replace(" ", "")%> TwoColRight'



Now you may write standard CSS rules to override colors etc based on the generated class names.



I still think it's hard to manage.

I created our free stylehelper skin object for these kind of tweaks. https://stylehelper.codeplex.com/
It does not inject a userid stylesheet though.

I have some example skins on codeplex with a lot of DNN atrributes inline as a demo: https://demoskins.codeplex.com/releas...
It also shows you how to add code to your skin.

I think what you are looking for is this: UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().UserID
(from the simple skin example)
