For those of you who took my classes at Engage, I have an update for you.

Prior to DotNetNuke 4.9, all skins created must contain the single most important token—ContentPane. I usually spend a good amount of time explaining how important this token is and make sure everybody understand before moving on.

Today, working on a project for my client, I made this very simple mistake by not including the ContentPane token in the skin file. Everything worked great from installation to managing content on a page and I didn’t notice there is something missing.

For all DotNetNuke versions prior to 4.9, the system immediately throws an error that it could not locate ContentPane. However, this new version never gives any hints about it.
