Thanks John but I'm not sure what you mean.  I looked at the full explanation in your blog but I don't quite understand it.  I tried looking for the TabName property but I can't find it.  Is it in the site settings?

What I sometimes do too is just create a different header for each skin - it shouldn't take you that long when you're getting into it, I mean if you're using an image - you just change the name of it.. .. and then I use a clear.gif logo - so it's a transparent logo over different pages..so I add that clear.gif image to the admin/settings page and then it links automatically. 

What do you think about that idea?  I think that's a cleaner solution than a fiddly module myself.

And there are some things that just take time - no matter how we try to go about it.

What do you mean by a different "Header" for each skin? Is this in the Admin, Skins section?  Or in the skin.css file located in the DNN folder for my skin?

I'm sorry but I'm very new to this.  I just started playing around with it today.

Thanks for your patience.

This is not a user setting.  It is a way for you to put code in your skin and make it more dynamic.

If this code is in your skin:

<img src="<%= SkinPath & PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %>_Banner.jpg" />

And you have an image in your skin folder named "Home_Banner.jpg", then the skin will show that image when the Home Page is active.

You would want to make sure you had an image in the skin directory for every page if you did it this way though.

If you wanted to just have a few of the pages show this image and have a default for the rest you could put this code in your skin where you want the image:

<img src="<% Select Case PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName.toLower()
                              Case "home" 
                                    Response.write SkinPath & "home_logo.jpg"
                              Case "about us"
                                    Response.write SkinPath & "about_logo.jpg"
                              Case Else
                                    Response.write SkinPath & "default_logo.jpg"
                        End Select %>" />

Woo hoo! I got it to work.  Thank you very much for all you help John.   I really appreciate it.
