Hi,

Can someone advise if this is possible?

I have set the home page to use Skin A, and the rest of the site Skin B.
The default skin for Privacy and Terms of use page is Skin A (same as the home page) can I make these two pages use Skin B instead?

Thanks.

Hello,

The method I have used in the past is to create your own new terms and privacy pages and then set those pages to use the skin that you require.

In your skin code, remove the privacy and terms tokens and replace them with links to your new privacy and terms pages that you have created,

Thanks,

I am using dnn 5.02.02.  I have created my new pages.  Now, how exactly do I do the following............

In your skin code, remove the privacy and terms tokens and replace them with links to your new privacy and terms pages that you have created.

Thank you.  Marion

You will need to review the skinning tutorials to understand this.

Assuming that you haven't accidentally copied a second copy of the boilerplate text into the language editor, I'm stuck.  I'd have to dig through your site to try to understand this.

Skin Object Tokens for DotNetNuke 5

Might this be the best tutorial to view for replacing the Privacy page with a customized new one?

That is the latest tutorial.  I would recommend starting with the Introduction to Skinning tutorial.

Hi Joseph, I understand and have used the proposed solution of creating our own custom Privacy and Terms page and linking to them instead but was wondering if there was a way to overwrite settings/code for such pages in not using the Site Settings' default skin page? Maybe overwriting a .ascx perhaps? Regards, Max.

You can specify the skin to be used on a page using the page's Page Settings.

Hi Joseph, Sorry for the confusion as i meant we are trying to avoid creating our own custom Privacy and Terms pages by for example defaulting the skin used by those Privacy/Terms pages to the Site Settings default selected skin as opposed to the Home page skin. Regards, max.

I believe that the Privacy and Terms pages use the Admin skin.

Looking at the code, it seems the Privacy and Terms of Use content is injected into the home page skin if one is configured in Portal Settings. Otherwise it is injected into the current page.

See this post for one possible solution to this.

Thanks.

My usual recommendation is that people create their own Privacy and Terms pages, use an HTML module for the text, and adjust the skin to point to those pages rather than using the "standard" skin objects.    It's also easy -- if that is what you want to do -- to copy the default text (using the language editor) to your pages.  And, with token replacement, you can easily inject the site's name and other items as necessary, or just write them in.

With the new localization features, it's easy to localize these, too.
