    Default How to get a specified skin v9.013SP1

    Ok, so I hope I'm not crazy.

    I took the skins offered with I purchased the product, expanded them in the web\App_Templates folder with the names of Skin_2, Skin_3, etc...

    Then I went to the default.aspx page and added ?skinid=2 to it looked like this:

    http://localhost/default.aspx?skinid=2

    But nothing happens. Documentation doesn't really mention this but I know I read it here in the forum somewhere. Any pointers?

    Please correct me if I've totally misunderstood the line above.

    You mean you used the built-in skins from v8? Do you see template.ascx file inside that skin_# folder? If yes, that won't really work, v9 uses master page template now or template.master file. In order for those template.ascx skins to work, you'll need them to be converted to master page by following "AspDotNetStorefront Skin Conversion Guide.pdf" doc.

    Ahhh... ok, I'll bet that's it. I (wrongly) figured that if they were offering them for download with V9 then they would already be converted.

    I'll read the article and see if I can get that working.

    Alfred, I've been searching all over the place for that document (and I know I saw it somewhere)... any chance you could find me a link to it.

    A central location for these types of documents would sure be handy. If there is one already I sure can't find it.
