Style for Portal Only?

[Ted S]

I am trying to make my vBadvanced page retain a special look and feel that seperates it from the rest of my site (or at least from my forum its self) but this means I need to use a unique style for the vba areas only. Is there any way to force a style for vba while letting the user retain their style choice or use the vb default style on the forum its self?

This might be a bit confusing so think of it like this:

Forum remains unchanged with custom skins
Portal uses only one skin independantly of the forum which the forum can not see at all.

Ted,

Before I said the heck with it and totally abandoned my site's old 'look & feel' of the home page I was doing the same thing. What you're looking for is "ACP --> vba CMPS --> Edit Pages" and then under the "Custom Style for this Page" choose your one-off style from the drop-down and save your changes. This will force that VBA page to be that style. You can then also go in VB and turn off the style from the users so that you could truly have a one-off style that VBA uses but not VB.

In my case I ended up going with a VB skin that I really liked to be default for both VB and VBA -- That way from a visitors perspective the front page (VBA) and the forums are smoothly integrated with no jarring turns of going from one style to something completely different when clicking a link from the front page.

KW802,
Thank you for the fast reply and the great directions! I'm amazed at the flexibility of this system... just a few days and already all of my plans seem to be coming together far more easily than I ever thought possible.

No problem... I'm learning as I go and just keep getting more impressed with vba the more I play with it. Now if I could just teach myself some Photoshop basics I'd be a happy man. :D
