change the logo

i use the skin artisteer-24verticalmenu2. i would like to change the original logo (the trees) with a custom logo, but there is no option for it in the control panel. i've tried to follow the instructions of this page http://www.mojoportal.com/whereisthesitelogo.aspx but it doesn't work.

so i try to replace the original header.jpeg, which is located in data/skins/artisteer-24verticalmenu2/images, with an image of my logo (with the same name). but the portal is still sowing the original skin logo. why? what can i do to change the logo?

Re: change the logo

Hi,

When you are working with skins, it is best to set a few options in your user.config:

<add key="CacheCssOnServer" value="false" />
<add key="CacheCssInBrowser" value="false" />

Additionally, you should probably read through the Skinning Overview documentation.

Re: change the logo

Hi,

In my haste, I forgot to get to your actual question.

After adding the settings I mentioned earlier in your user.config. Open your web.config, add a line to the bottom of it and then save it. This will cause the application pool running your website to recycle which will clear it's cache. You should be able to refresh the site and see your new image. If you do not, try clearing your browser cache.

HTH,
Joe D.

Re: change the logo

thank you very much for your help. i added these lines to my user.config.

regarding web.config, what do you mean with "Open your web.config, add a line to the bottom of it and then save it"? shall i add an empty line to the bottom of the code? just before the tag </configuration>? or just after it?

Hi,

It really doesn't matter where you add the line. You could also just add a space somewhere. The goal is to change the date/time modified stamp on the file so IIS will recycle the App pool.
