Hi guys,

How do we achieve the following when creating pages -
when a user chooses a ‘Page Template’, the template assigns:
a designated ‘Skin’ (not the default skin), designated ‘Modules’ (including configuration settings) and ‘Permissions’.

I’d like to avoid the user having to manually assign a Skin to the Template.
(DNN 8, DNN9)

Many thanks

Thank you very much Aderson for your prompt reply.
Is there a way to get around this DNN limitation?
Third party module, or editing source etc etc?

Dave

Thanks again for your reply Aderson.

It’s not really a ‘specific task’ but a simple and easy method to manage content for non technical users (Content Managers); something that a lot of other CMS’s are able to achieve but DNN cannot.

I guess DNN is limited unlike other CMS’s where the user can just:
1. create a new page,
2. select a pre-defined template, and then start inputting content.

With DNN it seems users need to:
1. create a new page,
2. select template,
3. select skin,
4. add modules,
5. and/or module settings, and then start inputting content.
It’s a cumbersome and impractical process for users; especially non-technical content managers.
