I know the subject is a bit fuzzy, but here goes;

I am developing a DNN site to which I have created a couple of skins, for instance a specific skin for the startpage, another skin with a built-in vertical-menu + breadcrumb/title and an almost empty skin just the header and footer. However, when I do certain actions, like clicking on login (loding the login module), or views the [TERMS] skinobject or goes to user accounts settings, all these modules just shows up on the current skin in use (the skin used on the current page that is) and things comes out pretty ugly if I'm on the start page (which uses the specfic start skin) for instance.

I understand the DNN Blue Skin has an empty (without certain interfering skinobjects) three column skin where all such modules goes smoothly into the center column. I'm affraid in my case this is not possible as my skins contains skinobjects and css divs in a manner not similar to the DNN Blue skin.

For this, I've created an empty skin with just a header, so is it somehow possible to redirect all such modules (terms, login, user account etc) to use my emty skin?

 

Best regards

Hi,

All those examples you have mentioned will be displayed in the content pane, which you call, "center column". You must keep that in mind. (so to your question, no you can't point them to an header pane but to a content pane.) As far as i know.

Hm yeah, figured so. So basically, the only way to achieve this is to rebuild the skin to be "more dynamic"? I.e. make sure that I have the content pane always availble and replace certain static skinobjects with perhaps text/html modules, although that could tricky with divs.
I guess I could always make sure the modules (again terms, login etc) won't be accessible from certain pages, but that doesn't feel like the right way to go.

Any other suggestions?

"terms" is not a module but a link to a page with the "terms". you can put the terms in any page you like and create a link to it, instead of the skin object, if you insist/ need it that way.

With the log in or register you have even more flexibilty because in admin settings you can define your won pages for these modules. These are modules you can upload to any page you prefer and put them in any pane you like.

Text/html modules can be tricky with divs, not sure what you meant.

Yes, I will probably create a separate page for the terms, privacy etc. I've also specified the login/register pages so I guess I'm on the right track, many thanks for making this clear though.
