The first view displays all available location and other displays details about a specific location. I created a page, applied my custom skin to it and placed my custom module on the page. The list of all locations view looks exactly like I wanted to look with my custom skin applied to it. However, when I click on a specific location my page skin becomes the MinimalExtropy skin (Default DNN skin). Under Admin->Skins I set my custom skin to be the Portal skin and MinimalExtropy be the Admin skin. I set the page skin (with my module in it) to my custom skin.

     

    I am using DNN 4.9.0. If you have experienced the same problem please let me know what am I missing here? Is the problem with my skins setup or is it my module? I also was wondering if there is a way to control which skin is applied to each view in a module.

     

    Please help.

    From the way that you describe the situation, I have a feeling that you need to learn a bit more about pages, modules, skins and containers.  Some of these tutorials might help:

    Basically, modules are placed on pages.

    Skins decorate pages and may provide styles for modules.
    Containers decorate modules, and may also provide styles.

    In your situation, it seems that clicking your "location" opens something in a new page, and that page has the admin skin applied to it.  Since I don't have your code, it's a bit difficult to know what may or may not have gone wrong.  But, I'd also guess that there is some sort of navigation issue.  You might want to check Michael Washington's adefwebserver.com site and look at the DotNetNuke section.  He has a nice tutorial there that describe module navigation options.  That might be of help to you.
