dnn loading available skins in custom module

Question

I want to load all available skins in a dropdown list inside a custom module. What is the best way to do this?

VB code appreciated.

Thanks, Amith

Answer 1

Amith, the skins are typically located in Portals/XXX/Skins where XXX could be _default, or a number or the name of a Portal.

I can't recall if all the skin paths are stored in the database. You may need to look at the database in SQL Server and take a look.

Otherwise just write some VB to look at the file system in that area, look for the Skins folder and any folder name within the skins folder is a skin package. Any .ascx file within that folder is an available skin.
