Logo 

I was hoping you can tell me how I can add a new page that hasnt got the logo on it. I have the logo added in the site settings. So I want it on some pages but not others.

How do I do this?

Thankyou!!

You have to create two skins, one version with and one version without the logo.
Then set the right skin of the right page.
For more info read the skinning documentation (found on the downloads page)

Thanks for your help Tino.

I am only new to DNN so a lot is still going over my head. I couldnt find any info regarding skins in the download page.

The only place I can see where a logo is added is in the site settings section, which applies to the whole site. Can you please explain in more detail what you mean when you say "You have to create two skins, one version with and one version without the logo."

As far as I can see, you can select any skin for the page but it still has a logo on it.

If you could give me more detailed steps it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!!

Re: Logo  Modified By Timo Breumelhof on 3/12/2007 6:46:06 PM
There is a documentation pack here:
(The DotNetNuke 4.4.1 Docs link on the Downloads page, but you have to be logged in)
If you unzip it, it has a file called "DotNetNuke Skinning.pdf" in it.

In essence a  skin is like a normal webpage it contains regular HTML (tables, div's etc.)
But you can also add  blocks of code that insert the dynamic content from the CMS.
These are called Skin objects.

In case of the Blue skin the skinobject for the logo looks like this:
<dnn:LOGO runat="server" id="dnnLOGO" />
If DNN finds this skinobject when it creates the page, it will render the logo you assigned in the settings in the page.
So if you want to create a skin without a logo you will have to create a skin without this skinobject.
Howto (in short):
Make a copy of the folder with the skin you want to change, give the folder a logical name lets say.
(this is because with every DNN update the original skinspacks are being overwritten)
The name of the folder will be the name of your new skinpack.

(These folder can be found in the: portals/_default/skins/ folder)
Open the new folder.
 Copy the original skin change the (file)names and remove the skinobject above (you need FTP if on a remote machine)
The physical files you have to copy are:
NameOfYourSkin.ascx and if it exists NameOfYourSkin.css (don't copy NameOfYourSkin.htm, for more info see the doc.)
Rename them to something like NameOfYourSkin_noLogo.ascx and NameOfYourSkin_noLogo.css
(these files can be found in the: portals/_default/skins/"skinpackname" folder)
Open the NameOfYourSkin_noLogo.ascx file with a text editor and remove
These blocks:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGO" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Logo.ascx" %>
and
<dnn:LOGO runat="server" id="dnnLOGO" />

Now if you select a skin for a page the new skin should be available in the list and will not render a logo if you assign it to a page.

I'm taking some shortcuts here, but I don't want to rewrite the existing documentation...;-)
Hope it's a bit clearer

Thanks again for your help!

I think I follow you. The problem I am having at the moment is - when I go to find the files I go portals/_default/skins/ But there is no folder called skinpackname. The only folders in the skins folder is -defualt, DNN-blue & DNN-gray and there are no folders in either of these.

What could the problem be do you think?
