Hi all,

What I need to do is have some code that changes an image in the top header (building a custom skin) depending on which section of the site is selected (i.e. the 'top-level' entries from the tree-menu).

I am a VB6/ASP and VB.NET/ASP.NET programmer, but DNN is confusing the c**p out of me!

Sorry if my problem is either trivial or confusing, please feel free to ask more questions, etc. I just cannot work out where to start with selecting the image-source for this problem.

Cheers,

Sam.

 

Thanks John, that was *almost* exactly what I needed!

The PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName property is very useful, but is there any way of getting only the top-level tabs? i.e. If i click on a tab from the menu, it works perfectly, but if i click on anothe page inside that tab, i want it to stay on the first one...

I am thinking something along the lines of checking if PortalSettings.ActiveTab.ParentId = -1 and if not, getting the tabname from the parentid... but I don't know how!

How would I go about accessing a tab by tabID, and then getting that tab's TabName? i.e. logic of: Tab(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.ParentId).TabName... or something!

Cheers,

Sam.

Hi Samon,

I'm glad you figured it out.

There are more useful tricks like that at the following link:
