I'm hoping someone can answer what is likely a simple question (if you know the answer which I don't). I have a site that uses one skin for the home page and a different skin for every other page. I'm using the [TERMS] and [PRIVACY] tokens at the bottom of the page. The problem is that the terms and privacy statements appear using whatever skin is currently being viewed. I need to be able to display those pages using a specified 3rd skin but I don't see how to do it. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

many thanks in advance,

This is a method I use. The reason I use this method is because search engines index the Terms of use and privacy as a new page for every single page where the links are displayed because of how DNN creates the links to the terms and privacy pages.

This could mean that the search engines see this content as duplicate content and give you penalties for it. - I haven't seen it happen yet, but it is a possibility.

You can see this method implemented on www.skinningtoolkit.com

Create a new page, set it to hidden, name it Terms
Add the content to this page and use the skin that you require

Create a new page, set to hidden, name it Privacy
Add content

In your skins, instead of using the Terms and Privacy tokens, just create a link directly to the pages that you have just created: ie.
<a href="http://www.skinningtoolkit.com/tabid/191/Default.aspx">Terms of Use</a>

That's all there is to it, thanks,

How can I display Homepage with one skin and the rest with a different one?
Thanks in advance

Create a separate skin for your homepage and specify in the homepage skin a different link to the terms pages. - this would link to a new terms page with the skin that you require.

Another method, of avoiding the Google penalty, is to use Ventrian.com's human friendly url replacement. It will only list one terms and one privacy link. The true power of the human friendly version is that the tabid info is not present in the url's.

You can now have page links such as:
