Different Master Page For An Admin Page

Hi,

How do you specify a different Master page for a particular Admin page? I found this thread but the admin pages don't have a gear icon for page settings.

Thanks for any help,

Reiss

Custom skinning is not currently supported for admin pages. They just use the site default skin.

I'm not sure I want to add suport for this either. I'm more inclined to revamp the admin UI using ExtJs for the layout like in Site Office.

Best,

Joe

Re: Different Master Page For An Admin Page

Hi Joe,

I've written an Image Manager feature to allow uploading and resizing of images. It's based on the File Manager. When you click on the add image icon in FCK it brings up a window allowing you to browse the server. When you click browse server another window opens allowing you to pick files and upload files. (this bypasses the built in filemanager which maybe isn't good?)

What I want to do is use my Image Manager for this so I'd like to specify a master page that has nothing on it other then the Image Manager content. What's the best way to set the master page for this ImageManager.aspx page?

Thanks,

Reiss

Re: Different Master Page For An Admin Page

In your own custom page you are free to set a different master page. You must do it in OnPreInit event but call base.onpreinit first so that yours is set after the one set by the base page. You probably will need to change the css links as well as the master page.

Look in mojoBasePage and in Default.aspx.cs for example code, not exactly the code you need but it should give the idea.

Best,

Joe
