Hello there,

I am new to DNN and I'm having problems uploading my skin. I downloaded an exsiting skin which works fine. When I make a couple changes to the skin and re-zip the folder, it uploads but tells me "No Skin Files Exist in This Folder". I am keeping the folder structure the same and just changed the logo and background in the original index.html file.

The next thing I tried was to unzip the downloaded skin (that actually works) and then re-zipped it without making any changes at all. I ended up getting the same error. I unzipped the folder again (the one I had just re-zipped and uploaded) and the file structure was the same.

I used stuffit to zip the folder. Is there something with this program that is causing me problems?

Thanks,

Kurt

Thank you I was struggling with the very same thing. I now have my first (albeit very ugly) homemade skin loaded.

There are many possibilities to pack a skin.

Generally, the zip file: "skinname.zip" contains two zip files. One with the name: "skins.zip" and one zipfile with the name: "containers.zip".

In the skins.zip there are skin variants with names like: main.aspx or admin.aspx and a skin.css file. If you use html skinning there are: main.html, main.xml, admin.html and admin.xml and skin.css. instead of skin.css one could also use the skinvariant name. 

Containers work the same way: container1.ascx and container2.ascx and container.css or container1.html, etc. also see the skinning documentation (zipfile on the download page)
