Hello.

I'm brand new to DNN, and have successfully installed it on a development server. I have two portals created for testing, and can successfully access them through different domain name aliases.

I've created a test skin to learn more about DNN skinning, and have uploaded it into DNN through the skin module. My test skin only has a single skin, and doesn't have any containers.

My problem is that i'd like to apply the skin only to the portal for the site, and not the admin. When I go into the skins module, there are checkboxes to apply to Portal and Admin. I check either one and then click apply on the skin, but the change affects both the admin and portal.

Any ideas? Does a skin absolutely have to have a container, and would that be causing the problem? Thanks in advance.

-Greg

The portal skin is used except when DNN is in 'Admin Mode' - i.e. editing, changing settings and the like.  For that you need a separate skin page with only one content pane. If not, DNN will use the same skin you have chosen for 'Portal' but only use the 'ContentPane' and none of the others.

Yes, you need a container.  Here's one that's invisible. Copy & save it as "Clear.ascx":


<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Containers/container.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON1" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON2" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON3" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON4" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" border="0"><!-- clear container courtesy Easy Template Skins -->
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" height="5">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnACTIONS" /></td>
    <td width="100%" nowrap="nowrap"><dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" id="ContentPane" runat="Server"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
