I finally figured this out. Thank you Victorfabian for getting me on the righ track.
Ok all I wanted was to customize or rebrand my "sponsor portal" so that users from my company get a page with our company logo and a custom message such as "Acme Sponsor Portal", etc. Your instructions say to "enable" the "Custom Skin 1/2". That does the job yes. But it also changes the format of the whole guest admin gui. That's not exactly what I wanted. I do like the default Aruba format for my admin gui.
To make the changes to impact only my sponsor portal or any other portal or weblogin that references the custom skin 1/2. All you have to do is not enable that skin plugin see below steps.
(1) - From “Guest >> Administration >> Plugin Manager >> Custom Skin 1”
(2) - Select Configuration - form here you can change the mode to “Advanced” and this will let you change the logo and customize the “Title Text” and “Footer”. :) !DO NOT Enable this skin plugin. Enabling it will mess up your enter Guest module skin.
(3) - Save these changes then go to “Operator Logins > Profiles” and edit your sponsor profile…
(4) - Under “User Interface” you can change the skin for this sponsor profile. I selected “Custom Skin 1”. And now any customization I make to this skin plugin will change the look and feel of my sponsor portal with out changing the entire guest module.
Thanks!
