Critical Error in DNN3.1 not finding skin.css

Reply Quote

Hi
On a couple of pages I am using the trial on, when I go to edit the editor doesn't open and I get a Critical error advising something on the lines of 'portals\_default\skins\t-worxdnnr\skin.css' is missing. The weird thing is, the page involved isn't referencing this file the file is called "TWC3.css"

Doesn't the DNN provider pull the references from DNN or are they hard coded? If the latter anyone know how to get them from DNN?

Antony

Antony,

I'd like to know all the style sheets referenced in that page:

For example:

<LINK id="_Portals__default_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/default.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals__default_Skins_DNN_Blue_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/Skins/DNN-Blue/skin.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals__default_Containers_DNN_Blue_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/Containers/DNN-Blue/container.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals_0_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/0/portal.css"></LINK>

They are

<LINK id="_Portals__default_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/default.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals_0_Skins_WEBPC_DNN3_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/0/Skins/WEBPC_DNN3/skin.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals_0_Skins_WEBPC_DNN3_t_worxIPskin_css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/0/Skins/WEBPC_DNN3/t-worxIPskin.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals__default_Containers_t_worxDNNR_TWC3_css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/Containers/t-worxDNNR/TWC3.css"></LINK>
<LINK id="_Portals_0_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/0/portal.css"></LINK>

The Error message is

A critical error has occurred.
Check your provider configuration for errors! Could not find file "C:\Sites\WEBPC_DNN\portals\_default\skins\t-worxdnnr\skin.css".

Antony,

There are two solutions to your issue.

Solution 1:

Create a skin.css file under /Portals/0/Skins/WEBPC_DNN3/

Solution 3:

Edit the following code in the provider:


                Dim s1, s2, s3, s4 As String
                s1 = Common.Globals.HostPath & "default.css" 'default css
                s2 = PortalSettings.ActiveTab.SkinPath & "skin.css" 'skin css
                s3 = (PortalSettings.ActiveTab.SkinSrc).Substring(0, PortalSettings.ActiveTab.SkinSrc.LastIndexOf("/")) & "/skin.css"
                s4 = PortalSettings.HomeDirectory & "portal.css" 'portal stylesheet
                cntlCE.EditorWysiwygModeCss = s1 & "," & s2 & "," & s3 & ", " & s4

To:


                Dim s1, s2, s3, s4 As String
                s1 = Common.Globals.HostPath & "default.css" 'default css
                s2 = PortalSettings.ActiveTab.SkinPath & "skin.css" 'skin css
                s3 = (PortalSettings.ActiveTab.SkinSrc).Substring(0, PortalSettings.ActiveTab.SkinSrc.LastIndexOf("/")) & "/t-worxIPskin.css"
                s4 = PortalSettings.HomeDirectory & "portal.css" 'portal stylesheet
                cntlCE.EditorWysiwygModeCss = s1 & "," & s2 & "," & s3 & ", " & s4

And recompile your project.

Keep me posted.

The problem with changing the code is that there are other sites using different skins and different Css files only a few of which have a skin.css most are some derivative of the skin name. Wouldn't it be better to pull the actual names from the core?
