DotNetNuke 4.3.3 comes with two default skins/containers (DNN-Blue, DNN-Grey).  I noticed DotNetNuke 4.0.3 has three more skins/containers (DNN-Green, DNN-Red, DNN-Yellow).

I am new to working with skins/containers.  Are the 4.0.3 skins/containers compatible with 4.3.3 - and if so - would someone with more expertise offer tips on exporting/importing the default DNN skins/containers from 4.0.3 to 4.3.3?

If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.

previous skins are compatible (html skins since the first skinnable DNN version 2.0), to pack them just put all files into a zip

Thank you, Sebastian.  Your assurance that 4.0.3 skins/containers will work with 4.3.3 gave me the inspiration to work out the details.  Here are the specific steps to do it:

You must have system level (or FTP) access to your DotNetNuke 4.0.3 installation.  Browse down to the /portals/_default/[Containers|Skins] folders.  Inside each you will find DNN-Green, DNN-Red, DNN-Yellow folders.  Get into each of those folders and ZIP up the contents (I suggest you name the ZIPs: DNN-Green.zip, DNN-Red.zip).  Do this for all 3 Skins and all 3 Containers folder, for the colors Green, Red and Yellow (the colors that are NOT in DNN 4.3.3 by default; you will create a total of 6 ZIPs).  Keep the Skin and Container ZIPs in separate folders (since skin/container ZIPs of the same color will have the same names).

Login to your DNN 4.3.3 installation as either Host or Admin.  Since I want the skins to be available to all portals, I logged in as Host, then installed the skins/containers using the Host menu:

(Host > Skins > Upload Skin)

Browse to and then ADD each skin ZIP you created: DNN-Green.zip, DNN-Red.zip, DNN-Yellow.zip

(Host > Skins > Upload Container)

Browse to and then ADD each container ZIP you created: DNN-Green.zip, DNN-Red.zip, DNN-Yellow.zip

You should then have 5 skins and 5 containers available by default in your DNN 4.3.3 installation.

 


If a problem can be solved, there's no use worrying about it.
If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.

Well I read the sticky post that claims the skins.zip and containers.zip files are in the archived installations.  They are not.....

I read this post and followed the instructions left by Tikkune, thanks to him.

But still even after what looks to be a successfull skin and container install of the DNN-Red my site claims there are no skins and no containers in the folder to pick from on these.

Any help?
