I am trying to get a background image in a table in my skin to change with each page. i.e. Home has a faint background image saying "home", News has a faint background image saying "news"

Anyone have any hints or suggestions to try to accomplish this?

Thanks

John

Hi John,

You could do that by accessing the active TabName in your skin like this:

<%= PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %>

Then just make a background image that includes the tabname in it's name and reference it something like this:

<td  background="<%= SkinPath & PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %>BG.gif" >

In the above example, if you have an image named HomeBG.gif in your skin folder, then it will be used for the background of that table cell when you are on the home page.

Create another one called NewsBG.gif and it will show when you are on the News page.

Thanks for the tip.  I hadn't thought/learned about using  <%= PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %>

Great idea! I ended up making CSS files and then using the DNNStuff CSSInclude module to bring the appropriate CSS file in.

That seems to work fairly well too.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

John
