Hi, I simply want to put a photo that I found online as a background for my DNN site, but I can't figure out how, I am not super technical. I need this done asap.

 

Thanks for the help,

Tiger

theres a number of different ways. You can amend your skin or inject the attributes into the head tag, but probably the easiest would be to log in as admin and go to admin->site settings. Scroll down and expand out the stylesheet editor. This will show the portal style sheet. You can amend the Body tag to reference an image as a background e.g.

change

/* background color for the content part of the pages */
Body
{
}

to something like the following (where the url path references the image you've uploaded)

/* background color for the content part of the pages */
Body
{

background: url(background1.gif)
}

where did you put that?

put it in your skin folder for the portal your working on, in the skin.css file, or make sure that your skin.html/ascx has a link to the CSS file your putting it in.

body

{

background-image:url(filename.jpg)

}

that method will work just fine, if the pic is in the root folder of the skin folder of the portal folder for the portal you are applying it to :->

c:\inetpub\dnninstal\portals\1\skins\skinname\HERE

That path is specific, it could be anything on your computer, but it's in the dnninstall\portals\1\skins\skinname more specifically, unless you are using host only skins..then it's in the \portals\default\skins\skinname folder where you need to edit the CSS, place the image, so on.

as for admin privlages to fix it...don't know that would help anyone really...the person is gunna need your skin package, so tehy can modify it, then you can re-upload it, or they will need access to poke around your server and find it.

people here typically will "teach" for free, but not "do" for free.  I don't "do" work to others servers as that can lead to all kinds of "Well this worked before you touched it"..people who do "do", will "do", for a fee and a contract usually sayign that if the do "do" something, you'll pay them to "undo" what they did do, if what they did caused un-desirable results.
