I have a 4.5.1 "private" site.  It is used by clients of my customer.  The customer wants each user (each from a separate customer) to have their own logo displayed when they log in. 

Can someone advise please how best to handle this?  I would obviously prefer NOT to change the core DNN code.  Can it be handled through the skin?  Or would I need to alter default.aspx?  I looked briefly at banners and vendors, but I dont think that will do the job.

Another thought is to provide a separate skin for each user (differing only in the color and the logo) and to load the correct skin at login.  Would that work?  How would I do it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

How I would tackle that problem would be to create a control that you load in your skin which will load the correct logo (and maybe also set a CssClass to change the color, if you need color changes, too).

Do you know how you would go about doing something like that?  Let me know if you need more specific help.

In your *.ascx file in your site's Portals\_default\Skins\ directory, try something like:

<a href="/"><img src="<%=SkinPath%>images/"

<% =IIf(Request.IsAuthenticated,HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, "Not logged in")  %>
<% if (dotnetnuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username IsNot Nothing) then% >    
 <% =dotnetnuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username %>
<% end if %>

"Logo.gif" alt="The Best Client!" style="border: none;"/></a>

And have ClientALogo.gif, ClientBLogo.gif, etc.

You might also consider using <dnn:user runat="server" id="mydnnUSER" />, but you have to handle case where no one is logged in and so on.

Thank you to both of you who responded.  I shall experiment along those lines.

<%=LoadLogo() %>

 

Trying to return a logo that is particular to a user, but the program always returns "".

Perhaps system.io.file.exists() is NOT the function to use???

private function loadlogo as string
dim f as String
if Request.IsAuthenticated then
f = skinPath() & "images/" & HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name & ".gif"
if system.IO.File.Exists( f ) then
return "<img =& f & "" />"
else
return ""
End If
else
return ""
End if
end function
