Why is it that in DNN 4.8.1, I can no longer copy a previously extracted skin folder from Portals\_default\skinname to
Portals\0\skinname ?
Although perhaps not the best practice occasionally we have to clone extracted skins from
Portals\_default\skinname to Portals\0\skinname. We then will alter those skins as needed.
And as always like in DNN 4.7, DNN is able to pick these extracted skins up on the Site level under Appearance.
Then we just go under Admin or Host site settings > expand Appearance and select Site radio button and the dropdown is able to pick up our new modified skin ascx files and folder we just cloned from Portals\_default\skinname into Portals\0\skinname.
Here's the problem… This Worked in DNN 4.7 BUT IN DNN 4.8.1 no skin directory shows up when Site radio button is selected for appearance! We’re only able to clone containers from Portals\_default\containername to Portals\0\containername.
What happened? And how do I get DNN 4.8.1 to recognize skins on the APPERANCE>SITE level if I need to clone them from Portals\_default\ to Portals\0\ ?
