Hi All.

Due to some german laws it is neccessary to add an imprint (in german Impressum) on webpages as well as soon if you want to earn money with the page or services you advertise on it.
And, strange enough, this imprint must be available and visible "without excessive search time". Hey, this is german law.....

However, i have a page called imprint and want to have link in the area at the bottom of the page where Terms and Privacy are as well. Not in the bottom area, but below of that.

What must i add to the skin file (i suppose) to have this link visible?

Thanks

linus_wildcat,

You could always "hard code" the link into the skin file, just as you would in a "traditional" html site. (e.g. <a href="http://www.dotnetnuke.com">DotNetNuke</a>) or you may wish to make it somewhat more dynamic.  One way of making this page more dynamic is to use the resolveurl method in your skin (by editing your skin's aspx -- e.g. bluefullwidth.aspx).  

So...if you had an aspx page (test.aspx) in your dotnetnuke directory (full path = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\desktopmodules\test\test.aspx) you could use this in your skin's aspx file:

<a href="<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/desktopmodules/test/test.aspx") %>">Test</a>

hope that helps,

Ian

Oh yes, thank you, this helps.

Is there also a way to reference to a "real" page being part of the Portal, either with the tab-ID or similar?

OK, your hint works, i have now a link left beside Terms.

But, due to unknown reasons, this link appears in another font? What to do?

linus_wildcat,

I would suggest using firebug (with firefox of course) to examine the HTML & CSS of these page elements so that you can make the appropriate changes.

My guess is that you could specify the css class "SkinObject" on your new link; this is the CSS class that dotnetnuke.com's "terms" and "privacy" links are using.

hope that helps,

Ian
