Description of attempt:
My company decided to use DotNetNuke for it's security issues for a particular program we are offering. I'm unfamiliar with this particular website / program. I just need some basic questions answered so I can relieve some of the pressure in my brainpan.

Background:
I'm a interior retail designer for this particular company. But pressed into doing everything that I'm skilled at: business cards to literature to websites. I know basic HTML and JavaScript, no Perl or higher level programing (such as .asp or .xml).

Issue #1:
Constant logging in << I can't stay logged in long enough to make any changes. Example: log in, upload new header image, select to make it the new header image, log in, click apply, check site -- no change. Close IE and pull open fresh window only to find no changes.

Issue #2:
No HTML or JavaScript uploads. I understand now that you can modify the skins (to go along with out corporate branding standards) but do not know where to start.

Issue #3:
Is this hosted at DotNetNuke or is this installed and hosted by my particular company? I can't find anything to tell me where and how this is implimented.

I may have further issues as managers come to me with problems or additions to the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Laters,
Mark

1. you should be able to stay logged in, by default the session timeout is 60 minutes. Please make sure you're not running some sort of internet security program like norton internet security that is blocking cookies.

2. if you download the documentation, theres a guide to skinning in there. Often the easiest way is to take one of the skins that comes with dotnetnuke, alter it, upload it, and see how it changes. Theres a seperate forum for skinning questions where you can get help. Alternatively you can buy lots of skins from www.snowcovered.com or see good samples in action @ http://www.faktnet.com/DotNetNuke/DotNetNukeSkinsGallery/tabid/150/Default.aspx

3. no, we don't offer hosting at dotnetnuke.com .You can find a number of hosting providers on our resource page
