is it possible to change the skin dynamically? and one more, i am using ddr menu,is it possible to give includenodes dynamically?

Yes. Snapsis.com has a "skin switcher" module. If you Google a bit, you may find other approaches.

The DDR Menu doesn't process the list dynamically. You may be able to turn nodes on and off with some appropriate javascript or jQuery. How would you see this working? And, it may be possible to do what you need just with page view permissions tied to roles.

dear craig,it is a paid one. any other method to change the skin dynamically? please give me a solution.

Nik Kalyani worked on a module he called Skinfigurator.  If you Google that name, you'll find some references.  As best as I can tell, Nik never finished this.  But, you'll find some good -- and hopefully useful -- discussion.

Hi Kevin, you can set IncludeNodes dynamically. If you're using (ddr:MENU ID="MyMenu") then just set MyMenu.IncludeNodes in your code, or for (dnn:NAV ID="MyMenu") add a new item to MyMenu.CustomAttributes. (Angle brackets replaced to avoid code being removed!)

Quite cool!   Thanks ...

Dear Mark,I have added these lines of code in skin.ascx. Where I want to place the code which you have given,that is myMenu.IncludeNodes and myMenu.CustomAttributes? <dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" CSSControl="mainMenu" ProviderName="DDRMenuNavigationProvider" CSSContainerSub="Main_DNNMenu_ContainerSub" CSSNodeRoot="Main_DNNMenu_NodeRoot" CSSNode="Main_DNNMenu_Node" CSSNodeHover="Main_DNNMenu_NodeHover">

Dear Mark, I added the code in the skin.ascx page load. Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) dim cusAttribute As new CustomAttribute cusAttribute.Name = "IncludeNodes" cusAttribute.Value = "Home,CENSUS,LOGOUT" dnnNAV.CustomAttributes.Add(cusAttribute) End Sub Its not working.Can you please help me...my projuct got stuck for 3days...

This is the code in skin.ascx file
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
dim cusAttribute As new CustomAttribute
cusAttribute.Name = "IncludeNodes"
cusAttribute.Value = "Home,CENSUS,LOGOUT"
dnnNAV.CustomAttributes.Add(cusAttribute)
End Sub

Is this a question?  Is it failing?

I think that the way to do this is to make the code part of an inline script.  Something like:

     < script runat="server" >

           Your stuff here

     < / script >

(But I'm sure that Mark will chime in with the correct syntax...}

Dear Craig,
I did like this but not working. This is the menu tag in skin.ascx
< dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" CSSControl="mainMenu" ProviderName="DDRMenuNavigationProvider" CSSContainerSub="Main_DNNMenu_ContainerSub" CSSNodeRoot="Main_DNNMenu_NodeRoot" CSSNode="Main_DNNMenu_Node" CSSNodeHover="Main_DNNMenu_NodeHover" >
< CustomAttributes > < dnn:CustomAttribute Name="IncludeNodes" Value="HOME,MUSIC,VIDEOS,DOWNLOADS,LOGOUT" / > < /CustomAttributes >
< /dnn:NAV >

Hi Craig, you're doing it right, except that your method needs to be Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load. Without the Handles bit, the method will never be called.

Dear mark, it works fine. thanks lot....
