Partial Artisteer skin integration

  I'm having some trouble getting an Artisteer skin I designed to work with Mojo.  I followed the instructions for Artisteer theme integration in the documentation here, but for some reason, I'm unable to get the background images to appear in the module container boxes.  This, for example, does not have the background displaying on the Mojo site:
.art-post-tr, .art-post-tl, .art-post-br, .art-post-bl
{
  width: 152px;
  height: 152px;
  background-image: url('images/post_s.png');
}

All other images are working, and their references in the style look the same. I also made sure that post_s.png exists and is inside the images folder. Any hints on what might be happening here? Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Re: Partial Artisteer skin integration

Hi,

I tried your skin on my local machine and it looks correct to me other than the flash movie isn't working because you have it commented out in layout.master.

If it doesn't work correctly in your environment then you are probably running in Medium Trust hosting and you need to copy the theme.skin file from the skin folder into /App_Themese/default as discussed on the bottom of this page:

When designing skins for mojoPortal, it is best to use a 3 column layout in Artisteer also as mentioned in the above linked article.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Partial Artisteer skin integration

Thanks so much, Joe.  You are absolutely right.  I'm an applications developer by day, so I'm not the most skilled with configuring IIS and web stuff.  I assumed that since I was using my own server rather than someone else's hosting environment that I had things running in full trust mode.  I appreciate your quick reply.  A hearty thank you for creating this portal, too!
