Re: about rotating header images

Well, I have managed a solution, a sort of end-run around that Home link at the top always using the no-file-specified URL.

In my hosting control panel, I set the first default files as index.htm and index.html. In both of those, I setup a META http-equiv redirect:

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://mojo.crypticsites.net/home.aspx">

So, now whenever, on this site, a no-file-specified "http://mojo.crypticsites.net/" URL is encountered, it automatically loads the home.aspx, so that the artisteer Home button is triggered to its active state.

This seems to be the only way to ensure that home.aspx is always the "home" one gets to.

Re: about rotating header images

Hi Andria,

Glad you found a solution. If you'd like to zip up your skin and email it to me (joe dot audette at g mail dotcom) maybe I can solve it a better way from the javascript. It is possible that the javascript is not the same from design to design, Artisteer may generate it differently for different designs, so maybe a different fix is needed for your design than the one that fixed it for me.

While the meta redirect works it is not an optimal solution.

Best,

Joe

Re: about rotating header images

I agree, not optimal, but it does work -- except that now the preview/browse feature doesn't work in the site settings page -- oh well, I know what mine look like, and I deleted all but a couple of the ones that came with. It's probably something so *DOH* that I'll slap myself in the head when I figure it out. I could send you the zip of the skin, but I find I keep fiddling with it -- all those other CSS files, the gridview stuff. I wish there was some way to override the gridview css in the skin, other than just scooping up the entire gridview file and inserting it into the skin's css. A lot, in fact most, of my templates have a dark background, so of course they have lighter type, and most of the backgrounds in the gridview css files are light, so the type barely shows, if at all. It really would be helpful to either have the various gridview schemes in the skin's css, or overridden somehow in the skin or site settings or page settings, or something.

Thx!

Re: about rotating header images

Hi Andria,

If you are talking about style for the ASP.NET GridView, we have several sets of gridview styles. The css for our gridview themes are configured from the style.config file of the skin, there are several example to choose from in comments in the style.config file, so you can pick a darker one or you can remove ours and include your own.

There may also be some related css in stylemojo.css that could be altered or removed.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: about rotating header images

The reason the skin preview doesn't work is because it is basically using http://yoursiteroot/?skin=x

so since you made index.html the default document it is now pointing to that page instead of the expected default document /Default.aspx

so it is pointing to your index.html page

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: about rotating header images

Yeah, that's not a huge deal; I had already viewed all the ones that came with, and left a couple of them present in order to study their code for different things, but I don't really need the preview-browse thing as a regular feature -- the ones I put up for download, I create a page for, so I can really see it in action. Speaking of which, I now have 3 of them available; in fact I came to the forum just now in order to put up a "general notice" for anyone who might be interested in looking at some new designs. I have 3 more just about ready to publish, then 3 more after that, etc, etc. And I just keep finding new reasons on top of new reasons to love Mojo; the ease of getting content, ANY content, onto the web, man, it's just miraculous. This is the by far the easiest, simplest web publishing I've found in 10 years. Kudos, kudos, and thank you thank you thank you! To all the fine geeky brainiacs who created this lovely program! kiss

Hi Andria,

If you have skins you would like to share with the community that would be great!

You could post link(s) in the Skins Forum, I'm sure people will like to see them.

Best,

Joe

Re: about rotating header images

Hi there. . .

I just found this post and it works great! However, the TransitionEffect does not work at all. It rotates about every 3 - 4 seconds and it fades. Not matter what I do, it does this. Any reason why, Joe?

Thank you very much!

Re: about rotating header images

TransitionEffect has nothing to do with the timing, to change the speed of slides set

TransitionInterval="5000"

it is in milliseconds so 5000 is 5 seconds, the default is 3000 or 3 seconds

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: about rotating header images

Hi Joe,

I am using about 13 images in the header section and have the setting like this

<portal:SlidePanel id="spanel1" runat="server" CssClass="rotatecontainer" TransitionEffect="fade" Random="true" TransitionInterval="3500" Speed="3500">

But when i load the page some of the images do not load in full screen. they just float on the left side of the SlidePanel as a thumnail. when i refresh the web page they came back in full view. is there any way i can load them always in full screen (fully loaded in the SlidePanel). Thanks
