How to set the skin of a DotNetNuke page through code?
- by ks78
I'm working on a DNN module that creates DNN pages (tabs) and places DNN modules on them through code. So, far that's working very well. However, I'd like it to also be able to programmatically set the page's skin and place the modules in the appropriate pane.
Does anyone know how to do this using code?
Solution:
I set SkinSrc and ContainerSrc as mika suggested.
Here's my source, if you're interested. This is where I set SkinSrc.
''' <summary>Create new DNN tab/page.</summary>
Private Function CreatePage(ByVal ParentID As Integer, ByVal PageName As String, ByVal PageTitle As String, ByVal Description As String, ByVal Keywords As String, ByVal Permissions As TabPermissionCollection, Optional ByVal SkinSrc As String = "", Optional ByVal isVisible As Boolean = True, Optional ByVal LoadDefaultModules As Boolean = True) As Tabs.TabInfo
Try
Dim tabCtrlr As New TabController
Dim newTab As New Tabs.TabInfo
Dim newPermissions As TabPermissionCollection = newTab.TabPermissions
Dim permissionProvider As PermissionProvider = permissionProvider.Instance
Dim infPermission As TabPermissionInfo
' set new page properties
newTab.PortalID = PortalId
newTab.TabName = PageName
newTab.Title = PageTitle
newTab.Description = Description
newTab.KeyWords = Keywords
newTab.IsDeleted = False
newTab.IsSuperTab = False
newTab.IsVisible = isVisible
newTab.DisableLink = False
newTab.IconFile = ""
newTab.Url = ""
newTab.ParentId = ParentID
'add skinsrc if specified
If (SkinSrc.Length > 0) Then newTab.SkinSrc = SkinSrc
' create new page
tabCtrlr.AddTab(newTab, LoadDefaultModules)
' copy permissions selected in Permissions collection
For index As Integer = 0 To (Permissions.Count - 1)
infPermission = New TabPermissionInfo
infPermission.AllowAccess = Permissions(index).AllowAccess
infPermission.RoleID = Permissions(index).RoleID
infPermission.RoleName = Permissions(index).RoleName
infPermission.TabID = Permissions(index).TabID
infPermission.PermissionID = Permissions(index).PermissionID
'save permission info
newPermissions.Add(infPermission, True)
permissionProvider.SaveTabPermissions(newTab)
Next index
'return TabInfo of new page
Return newTab
Catch ex As Exception
'failure
Return New Tabs.TabInfo
End Try
End Function
These next two functions were taken from the DNN source and tweaked slightly, so I can't take credit for much of them. Also, if you use these in your own modules there could be issues when upgrading DNN. Although the upgrade from 5.05 to 5.06 went smoothly for me.
In the AddNewModule function, I used ContainerSrc to specify the custom container to use. PaneName is the property used to specify which panel the module should be placed in.
#Region "From DNN Source --mostly"
#Region "Enums"
Private Enum ViewPermissionType
View = 0
Edit = 1
End Enum
