Hi,

I was wondering if you could tell me how I can force the Product Detail Pageto open in a certain page. I have the store in my top pane but the Product Detail Pageopens in the content pane which has a dark bg and I want it on a light background.

OR

Maybe even to force to open in a certain container?

Thanks in advance

Nat

I think what is happening is that the product detail page is using your admin skin you have setup. This is actually a bug/limitation in dnn when you redirect to another user control within a module dnn applies the admin skin instead of the portal skin.

Long story short you will need to set your portal and admin skin to the same skin temporarily if you want the same skin on the cart we are currently working on a fix for this that should be released in a few weeks.

Thanks for the reply Scott. I went into site settings and changed the default portal container to my white bg one and that is now OK, I can see the store. So is the fix you are talking about going to allow me to choose the pane for it to open in. ie: my store is in the top pane so when a product is clicked the product detail will open in the top pane and not the content as it does currently? Thanks for your help.

All the pages in the buynow module product list and details and all the checkout pages are all user controls (ascx) within the buynow module and when you click on the image on the product list that takes you to the product detail the module just does a navigateurl between the user controls within the buynow module so it will never moves from one pane to another when navigating to the product details page. In fact when you navigate to the product detail page there are no other modules on the page only the product details page is displayed is what may give the illusion that it moved to the content pane.

Well there is something strange going on then because I have the Store (list of products) set up in the Top Pane with my white bg container 3 (set as default container for portal and edit in admins/site settings) right through the checkout the other pages all show in the content pane (this shows up in layout mode) but this is OK because it shows in the container 3 until the confirm page and here it shows up in another container with a dark bg??? My shooping cart mod where you click to go to checkout is in the left show pane)

Thanks

In dnn when you navigate from one ursercontrol (ascx) to another all the panes disappear except for the content pane thats why you cant place any other modules on the product details page. The exception to this is the product list page which is the default user control in the buynow module you can place other moduless on the product listing page. I consider this a bug in dnn but we are working on making the product details page a seperate module so you can place other third party modules on the page. Here is a post with more info on the topic:

OK I get what you are saying there, sorry about the misunderstanding, but my problem is that my default container is being used in the checkout process all the way through except when I get to the confirmation page and then it picks up another container which is preventing the page being read as it is dark font on a dark module. I have the posrtal and edit container set as the white bg container in admin site settings and it is picked up everywhere else except this confirmaton page within the cart?

Hi guys

An update on this issue. During the 4 step payment process we go from this page

http://www.nourishingecology.com.au/Store/tabid/64/ctl/Step1/mid/484/Default.aspx

to

http://www.nourishingecology.com.au/Store/tabid/64/ctl/Confirm/mid/484/Default.aspx

The Confirm page seems to loose it's styling and reverts back to a Dark Blue background while all the other pages are white background? I've confirmed the Site Admin page and container are definetly set to a skin with a white background.

If anyone could shed some light on what might be causing this I would be greatful for life? You can test the checkout at http://www.nourishingecology.com.au/S... - add some items to the cart and checkout until you reach confirmation page....

This site is running Ver 3.07 (about to upgrade to 3.08)

Cheers Rob

Rob,

We talked about this on the phone today the issue is most likely a style that is being inherited from your skin.css or portal.css that is changing the background to dark blue. If you can locate that style in your skin.css or portal.css and change the background from blue to white it should fix the issue. Or you can use the brute force method and add a background style directly to the confirm.ascx page that will override the skin.css
