I am new to DNN. I am trying to use the TemplatePrint skin. I have it installed. It shows up as a control in Modules/[Skin Objects].
If I understand the instructions, I need to create a new skin and new container that will hold the information I wish to print. I do not need to create a new skin & container for my site, correct? I can use the skin that is already selected?
After I create a skin and container for printing, I upload it like any other skin, yes?
I then modify the container.xml file of my default skin to reference the "Print" skin and TemplatePrint and edit out the reference to the "PrintModule"
This is what I infer, there is much more I am still trying to understand, but I have to start somewhere.
Thank.
First of all, as you said, you need to create the skin and container you want to use on your printed pages (if they are different from the ones you use when viewing). These two, will be the parameters used to configure the Container and Skin parameters of the TEMPLATEPRINT object.
Then you have to change the container so it includes the [TEMPLATEPRINT] token.
Once this is all done, pack all the skins and containers, and upload to your site. You should be able then to print the contents using your custom design.
NOTE: be sure to package all containers in the same package and all the skins in the same package, otherwise it will not be able to find them.
There's a sample skin on this page

You can download it and install on your site and then look at the details.
