Hi I'm new to DNN so be gentle... :o)

I followed a tutorial on uploading a new skin...My company bought one from snowcovered.

I want to be able to edit the css for the skin (bg_colors etc...), but I can't find it in the file manager. Also just to note...when I check the Admin/Host > Skins...I don't see any thumbnail images of the skins anywhere...for any of the skins...but it does seem to skin the portal OK....what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You won't be able to see your skins file using the File Manager. You will need to look for them in the web directory structure. If you have access to your server, you can use Windows Explorer. If you have FTP access you will have to use that.

The skin files are stored in Portals/_default/Skins or in Portals/X/Skins (X is a number that is the PortalID of your site).

If you don't have access to the directory, make changes to skin.css in the skin package and resinstall it to make changes.

If you don't see thumbnails, that probagbly means that the skin developer didn't include them. You can check the skin package to see if this is true.

Thanks so much Joe for the help...that makes total sense to me now.

I have a feeling I'll be a regular in this forum...

Best wishes to you and Happy New Year

I hope you will become a regular participant. Welcome!
