In my skin I would like to use the site logo without the link, because I want to add the link to a surrounding div instead of only the logo inside.

Something like this:

<a href='/'><div id='logocontainer'><dnn:LOGO runat="server" id="dnnLOGO" /></div></a>

However, becasue dnn also adds a link, this results in something like this:

<a href='/'><div id='logocontainer'><a id="dnn_dnnLOGO_hypLogo" href="http://..."><img id="dnn_dnnLOGO_imgLogo" src="....png" style="border-width:0px;" /></a></div></a>

A link inside a link is not valid and different browsers even render this completely different, none in the desired way. And as a purist, the styling should be left to the skin/css.

Can I get the logo image tag without the link? (and without the style?) Or should I build my own image tag using <%=PortalSettings.LogoFile%> and <%=PortalSettings.PortalName%> (or PortalAlias?) as the alt-tag?

There's probably a good reason to let dnn generate the link url instead of hardcoding '/'. Can I get that link somehow? Or do I need to construct it myself and which properties should I use for that?


<a href='/'><div id='logocontainer'><a id="dnn_dnnLOGO_hypLogo" title="engelse test" href="http://test1.roland"><img id="dnn_dnnLOGO_imgLogo" src="/Portals/6/logo_vlinder.png" alt="engelse test" style="border-width:0px;" /></a></div></a>

for the image this was the solution :)

However the url isn't the same as dnn generated at all. dnn generated these links for the site logo on veriouw portals (I don't know why they differ):

http://dnndev.me/
http://dnn/en-us/home.aspx

while NavigateUrl(PortalSettings.HomeTabId) generated these urls:

/Default.aspx?tabid=216&language=en-US
/Default.aspx?tabid=65&language=en-US

They bring you to the homepage of the portal, but the link is completely different and definitly not what I want.

I'm not looking for a way to generate a url 'like' the url dnn would generate, I could just as well use '/' instead.
I'm looking for the url dnn generates, generated by dnn, so whatever exception there is where the generated url would differ from '/' (maybe skipping a splash screen? conserving the language or a session id in the url? or maybe there aren't any exceptions possible?), is covered. There must be a reason dnn goes throught the trouble of building a url using the protocol and hostname (and perhaps other elements) instead of simply using '/'. Using my skin should not result in a different url for the site logo link.

Close, but no sigar.

This gives me the hostname, without protocol.
But again: I'm not looking for a way to construct a link like DNN's link, I'm looking for the actual link DNN builds.

e.g. if you would configure [some page x] as the home page of your site, DNN makes the site logo link there. And maybe there are other things which determine the linkt generated. I do not want te rebuild that (unknown) behaviour.
