Shortly after I installed a clean 4.3.5 site, I uploaded any old skin to start building some content (sorry - I can't handle that DNN blue/silver thing.)  I started building some pages, and I set pages to specific skins and containers.  A few days later, I built the real skin and uploaded it to the site.  The next thing I did was delete the first skin.  So... all the pages that had "hard assignments" gave me errors and of course reverted to the defualt DNN skin - thats fine... I had some work to do sorting that all out.

The problem is, that when I go to the File Manager, I can't seem to synchronize the file system.  The files are gone, but the original skin directory is still there.  When I try to delete the directory it gives me an error stating that the folder does not exist.  This is confimed with an ftp connection.  So the folder is gone, but the database obviously still thinks it's there.

The first conclusion is that file synchronization is not exactly working as expected.  Secondly,  the skin removal did not really complete the job - something went wrong in the first place to cause the problem...

Comments?

I have found that the file system synchronize is a bit flaky. I have had similar a experience. You might try clearing the cache or jsut waiting some time and retry....that has worked for me.

You should have deleted the skin thru using HOST -> SKIN.

Hmmmm.... you make that sound like it's common knowledge.  As a serious skinner I've pretty-well committed the Skinning document to memory.  I can tell you there is nothing there about this...

On further thought, I can see that this would not make sense at all.  Are we supposed to give host accounts privledges to allow a portal owner full skin management capabilites?  I doubt it.  My guess is it has to do with the new File Manager security models recently implemented.  (I did not touch those options.) 

But if you or someone else knows exactly why this is happening I'd certainly appreciate an explanation.

Cheers!

Hi folks,

Turns out this issue is currently in the bug-base.  Not sure the status, but it was definately reported already...

Cheers!
