Forcing jQuery UI to Admin area only?

I'm working on skinning my site under the latest version of Mojo and I was wondering if there is a way to force only the admin sections to get the jQuery UI themes?

Thanks!

Re: Forcing jQuery UI to Admin area only?

Hi,

The jQueryUI isn't used very heavily except in the Admin sections. Are you referring to the button styles? If so, open the theme.skin file for your skin and change UsejQueryButton to false on the portal:mojoButton control.

HTH,

Joe,

I understood DogEars question different.

So I would like to aks you the same question may somehow another way.

If I have a skin different to jquery-ui, e.g. an artisteer based one, but I want to use the jquery-ui skin just for the admin pages, what is the best practice way of doing that?

Thanks

Jim

Re: Forcing jQuery UI to Admin area only?

The Admin pages (under the Administration menu) will use the site default skin, so you could make the jquery UI skin the default skin and then set your other pages to use a different skin. Note that if you did this in the beginning and you made all the top level menu pages use a different skin then new child pages created below them would use the same skin by default.

Note also though that Page Settings and Edit This Page will always use the page specific skin. This is needed so that you can see that it is using the skin when you change it in page settings and its needed in the edit this page because the page skin might have more or less content panes than the default skin and you need to be able to use the one for the specific page.

Hope that helps,

Joe
