Here is how to change dynamically the DNN skin based on the user credentials, in my case I needed to show the standard DNN skin for the “host” user.
The code has been injected in the DNN default.vb file, but you can use the code inside a custom module.
VB.NET:
If Not DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username Is Nothing Then
If DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username.ToString() = "host" Then
TabController.CurrentPage.ContainerPath = "/Portals/_default/Containers/imagicle1/"
TabController.CurrentPage.ContainerSrc = "/Portals/_default/Containers/imagicle1/Article.ascx"
TabController.CurrentPage.SkinDoctype = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"" ""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"">"
TabController.CurrentPage.SkinPath = "/Portals/_default/Skins/MinimalExtropy/"
TabController.CurrentPage.SkinSrc = "/Portals/_default/Skins/MinimalExtropy/index 1280.ascx"
End If
End If
C#
if ((DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username != null)) {
if (DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username.ToString() == "host") {
TabController.CurrentPage.ContainerPath = "/Portals/_default/Containers/imagicle1/";
TabController.CurrentPage.ContainerSrc = "/Portals/_default/Containers/imagicle1/Article.ascx";
TabController.CurrentPage.SkinDoctype = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">";
TabController.CurrentPage.SkinPath = "/Portals/_default/Skins/MinimalExtropy/";
TabController.CurrentPage.SkinSrc = "/Portals/_default/Skins/MinimalExtropy/index 1280.ascx";
}
}

Thank you for your comment! Skins in DNN are very powerful, I have developed my own skins for my company.
