You're welcome, glad I could help.

No, as I understand it, the skin does not get added to the template, you have to move that over seperately.

Thank you.  I've just upgraded to DNN 4.5.3 and tried to export and create a new portal with the exported template.  I'm still getting the following error when the new portal opens:

Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/14/Skins/Testt/Test.ascx Error: The file '/dnn/Portals/14/Skins/Test/Test.ascx' does not exist.

If the exported portal's skin doesn't become a part of the export template then why would this error get thrown?  If a DNN template is just creating a skeleton of the portal then why is it trying to find the skin?  Is there a fix for this?

you need to distribute and install the skin package separately. Note, that there might be licensing limits apply.

One company owns the entire dotnetnuke installation and all its various websites and graphics so licensing isn't an issue for us.  What I don't understand is why an error looking for the skin of the exported template is thrown if skins need to be applied separately for a portal using an exported  template?   It's a bit disconcerting to see the error  Am I doing something wrong?  The new portal seems to be an exact copy of the original portal minus the skin.  Is the "skin doesn't exist" error always thrown?   That seems odd to me.  I just need to be able to explain this behavior to others.

Thanks!

you shall install the skin separately first and are able to create portal based on template afterwards. Please notice, that there are skins, that needs to be compiled during install to get the correct paths entered etc. I agree, that import should not through an error but a warning and continue to install as the skin can easily installed afterwards.
