How to use image in the Administration menu in artisteer skin

Hi Joe I was trying to use the <file cssvpath="/Data/style/adminmenu/style.css" imagebasevpath="/Data/style/adminmenu/">none</file> in the style.config file, and still dont saw nothing happen. Then I try with different skins and I see that all the artisteer skins dont show the new image admin page.

Any thougths about this?

Well I found the error. I was making the change directly in the uploaded file, so I had to restart the pool for the change to by applied.

I tried the artisteer skins in the demo site and this make me confuse, because this skins don't have the admin image.

Re: How to use image in the Administration menu in artisteer skin

Hi German,

Those admin icons are completely optional, I did not add them to all skins but to most of them. In some skins one may need to tweak the css a little bit to make it look right when using those icons. For example the Artisteer skins often have some little icon for lists, so you would need to override that in css in order to make the admin icons look right.

Best,

Joe

Re: How to use image in the Administration menu in artisteer skin

Hi Joe.  I see this exact problem -- although I'm using the icons for the admin menu, I see those dratted artisteer bullets too; I've tried several different ways to turn them off for the admin menu, but I can't seem to find the right combo of class selectors to get the artisteer bullets turned off in the admin menu -- can anyone shed any light on this?  I like the graphical admin menu, and it's really useful how the security link commands your attention until you fix the machineKey -- but I'd really hate to release my skins with such a glaring problem.

I put this at the bottom of my style.css, but it didn't do any good:

.art-Post-inner .adminmenu ul.simplelist, .art-Post-inner .adminmenu ul.simplelist li {
list-style-image : none;
list-style-type : none; }

Then I tried this, also to no avail:

.art-Post-inner .adminmenu ul.simplelist, .art-Post-inner .adminmenu ul.simplelist li {
background-image : none;
 

I tried the last one because I realized that the artisteer bullets are actually background images, not list-style-images -- but apparently I'm still not specifying something correctly.  Someone, please help!

Just add this to the bottom of the stylemojo.css

ul.simplelist li { background-image:none; }

Hope it helps,

Joe

Ok thanks -- although, I made it

.adminmenu ul.simplelist li { background-image:none; }

so I only got rid of the bullets in the admin menu, rather than sitewide -- but it worked!  YIPPEE!

Thanks!!!
