We have applied a special skin to our store page. This displays correctly when we view the product list view. But when click on product details the site default skin is used - even though the details view is on the same tabid as the list view! How can we specify the skin for the details view?

This is actually a bug/limitation in dnn when you redirect to another user control dnn applies the admin skin instead of the portal skin.

This is the technique I have been working on but it’s kind of a big change and will require a lot of testing before its release

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 I try to provide a fix for this in the next release.

How about making the list and detail views separate modules?

That would be a much bigger undertaking then the method I am working on now. Additionally, I think people appreciate the user friendliness of being able to drop one module on a page and the entire catalog, cart and checkout is encasulated in one module, very easy to understand and setup your ecommerce site that way.

Appreciate your feedback.

We fixed it by changing the admin skin

The only real downside I see is that the user cannot see the MiniCart when they are viewing the product details. Is there any way around this?

I dont see a way around this right now since all the pages in the cart checkout including the product detail page are ascx pages that are part of the main buynow module. We are looking at making the product detail page its own module so you could add the mini cart module to the product detail page as well as other 3rd party dnn modules.
