Hi folks!

I am not able to apply container to my portal and need help!

Lets say, I have two containers A and B. I need to apply container A to all modules and container B only to module X.

My settings are following:

Host - Host settings

Host container: <not specified>, Admin container: <not specified>

Admin - Admin settings:

Portal container: container A, Admin container: container A

Module X settings:

Module container: container B

Containers are working as I need when logged in as Admin/Host but on portal they both change to default !!! Agrhhh ....

Are there any other settings I can use to apply containers?

Which SQL table is taking care of containers assignment?

Thanks for helping in advance !

Thanks Thomas, but this does not help either :(

As far as I find out, what you wrote has the same effect as assigning Skins/Containers in Host - Host Settings (The result is a change of value in the SQL table "Skins")

My SQL tables values are following (I want Container B to be assigned only to modules located in ContentPane on page TabID 56 on my root portal PortalID 0)

Table "Skins"

PortalID      SkinRoot         SkinSrc                                                                           SkinType

0                  Containers      [L]Containers/My containers/Container A.ascx       0

0                  Containers      [L]Containers/My containers/Container A.ascx       1

0                  Skins                [L]Skins/My skin/skin.ascx                                          0

0                  Skins                [L]Skins/My skin/skin.ascx                                          1

Table "Tabs"

TabID          PortalID           ContainerSrc                                                                  SkinSrc

56                0                        [L]Containers/My containers/Container A.ascx        [L]Skins/My skin/skin.ascx      

Table "TabModules"

TabID          PaneName         ContainerSrc                                                         

56                ContentPane      [L]Containers/My container/Container B.ascx

56                TopPane             NULL

56                BottomPane       NULL

ContentPane module is using Container B only in Admin/Host. On the portal module is still using default container stored in Portals/_default/Containers/_default/No Container.ascx.

Are there any other tables where it can take this default settings from?

PS: I've tried to assign this Containers to my other subportals and it work fine both on Host/Admin and Portal. Than I've also tried to apply default DNN-Blue to the ContentPane and again it was working only in Admin/Host - %$@*!

It seems like a strange bug to me as well. I am sure it is not related to caching, neither restarting application as tried it several times already.

I believe skins are handled in following SQL tables:

SQL table             DNN Interface                                                                Columns                                                                                                                    

Skins                    Host/Admin-Settings and Host/Admin-Skin           SkinType=0 for portal, SkinType=1 for Admin,  PortalID=NULL for Host

Tabs                     Page Settings - Page Skin/Container                       for each page by specific TabID (56 in my case)

TabModules       Arrow in top left container corner - Settings          for each page pane (specified in PaneName) for each page (TabID)

I could not find any Skinning information in Portals table (there are mainly Settings from Host-Host settings interface except Design settings)

Do you think upgrading to 4.8.2 (currently running 4.8.0) may fix the issue?
