Every time we get to actual 'cart' the skin changes to DNN's default skin.  We have changed it everywhere.. host, admin and the only portal that we are using for the shopping cart but the default admin skin always pops up.  When we look at the page settings it has the appropriate skin selected.

 

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Craig,

Glad you found the solution to the issue you were experiencing, this is actually a bug/limitation in dnn when you redirect to another user control using the NavigateURL function dnn applies the admin skin instead of the portal skin even though all the pages in the checkout are view controls and not edit controls dnn still applies the admin skin. The 2 functions dnn offers to navigate from one user control to another are naviageurl and editurl both of which change to the "edit" skin. We were hoping that DNN would address this in DNN 6 but they have not. When a module has multiple user controls like the cart the current solution in DNN is to use a master ascx with a placeholder control then swap user controls in an out at the user navigates from one user control to another, unfortunately this approach has a big con in that it doesnt maintain viewstate on the page which the cart uses.

This is on our Dev Roadmap to correct in a future release however for now, the best work around is to set the Admin Edit skin to the same as your site as you have already done.

Thanks,
