How to test a skin on a single page

How to apply a skin installed to the portal

How to apply a skin installed to all portals

How to auto install a skin using FTP

How to initiate installation of the DotNetNuke skin

If you have used an earlier DotNetNuke version, the installation has changed slightly, or if you are a beginner to DotNetNuke this should help you get up to speed quickly.

In this tutorial we walk you through downloading the DNN-Blue and DNN-Grey skins from codeplex which originally came as default with DotNetNuke v4.

The reason we are demonstrating installing these older DotNetNuke skins is that there are a lot of skins available to purchase from snowcovered.com as well as download for free and quite a few of them will still be classed as legacy v4 skins.

When you install a legacy skin into DotNetNuke 5, DotNetNuke will state that you are installing a legacy skin and provide you with some installation options, so this tutorial we help you to understand the installation options for legacy skins as well as learn how to install a DotNetNuke 5 skin.

There are minimal differences between a DotNetNuke v4 and v5 skin, the main difference is how it is packaged. A DNN4 skin is compatible with DNN5, but it is unlikely that if you purchase a DNN5 packaged skin it will be compatible with v4.

We also demonstrate how to install a skin to a single portal and to all portals in the DotNetNuke installation, as well as how to auto install a DotNetNuke skin using FTP.
