Hi All,

Since i upgraded to the latest versions of DNP (2.8.6 or 2.8.7) i have had several problems getting the logo to display in Internet Explorer 6.

I used to edit the file \App_Themes\Default\Images.skin so that we could rename the images to whatever we wanted and use whatever file type we wanted to rather than the standard .png file that is called dnp_logo.png.

Usually we change the following lines of code in the above file name:-
<asp:Image runat="server" SkinID="Logo" ImageUrl="images/dnp_logo.png" />
<asp:Image runat="server" SkinID="LogoBig" ImageUrl="images/dnp_logo_big.png" />

And change them to:-
<asp:Image runat="server" SkinID="Logo" ImageUrl="images/logo.gif" />
<asp:Image runat="server" SkinID="LogoBig" ImageUrl="images/logo.gif" />

 Since upgrading to 2.8.6 and even after upgrading to 2.8.7 i have been unable to get the image to display in the portal once you have logged in as it seems to now be hard coded within the files or even worse the DLL's that we can't edit.

When you go to the login screen the logo displays correctly, but once you have logged in it disappears completely.

If you use another browser it works fine.

The answer i have had from the support team after emailing them to find out why it will not pick up from the \App_Themes\Default\Images.skin file they advised that i upgrade my browser!

Some of our clients are still using the old ie6 or later and we still use it here to make sure that any websites that we develop are working in ALL browsers and the images are displaying correctly in the older as well as newer browsers.

If anyone has any ideas about how to change this logo once you have logged in it would be greatly appreciated.

 We would prefer to use a gif file for the logo as we know this will not be a problem for any browser.

Hi.

In DotNetPanel 2.8.6 we added a new feature. Read here: http://www.dotnetpanel.com/dotnetpanel/releases-history/dotnetpanel-2-8-6-has-been-released/

Added: Portal logo image customization for resellers

Please go at serveradmin or customer level > Policies > DotNetPanel Policy > Logo Image URL

Thanks for this guys, i have been trying to do this for ages!

Is there any way that you could code the site so that if there is no default value to use the standard file from the images.skin file?

 This would make life a lot easier as the login panel still picks this up from the images.skin and it would be nice if this was there as a safe guard for clients.

Almost there.  Could you provide a little more information please?  Where should our images be?  The old way I had my logos in "DotNetPanel\Portal\App_Themes\Default\Images", so I assumed (incorrectly) that the field Logo Image URL: should just be set to something like "App_Themes/Default/Images/accuraty_logo_big.gif" - but then this results in a broken image with a path of "... mydomain.com/DesktopModules/DotNetPanel/SkinControls/App_Themes/Default/Images/accuraty_logo_big.gif"

Where is this change documented?

What is the correct place to put our images (to avoid future breaking changes)?

Should we by putting a full or relative path in the DNP Policies "Logo Image URL:"?

Are there any syntax shortcuts we should know about and use? e.g. "~/" etc?

Could you provide a few examples and recommendations?

After playing with this feature you can put your images i the following folder:-

C:\DotNetPanel\Portal\DesktopModules\DotNetPanel\SkinControls\ I have created a folder called images and put the image in there for the main DNP account.
But you can also put the images up on your website and use a URL to pull the image down from another server.
I.E. http://www.datatechuk.com/images/image-name.gif

So your clients don't have to upload anything to the portal or get you to upload an image for them as they can put the image up on thier website and then simply change the setting within thier account by going to Policies >> DotNetPanel Policy and then simply put the URL into the Logo Image URL text box.

 I hope this helps.
