Branding.gif for different sites

[Mike Walraven]

I have used the Editsite tool to create several sites on my Project Server
2003 SP1 server. I would like the ability to use different branding.gif files
for these different sites so it is obvious to the user which site they are
working in. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I am not an
asp expert by far

Mike:

If they're all sharing the same source files, you can't easily do this.
Otherwise, it's simply a matter of swapping out gif files. To find the
location of a file, you know that you can right click and choose properties?

Gary,

Thanks for your response.

I am familiar with the right click to find the properties and location of
the file.

It appears that all my sites use the same virtual IIS location. Is there an
easy way to split them up? Do I just duplicate the IIS Virtual Root
directory, and change the Virtual Directory Local Path for the other sites in
the IIS manager? Or are there other things that might be affected by this?
Are there Project server entries or WSS issues with doing such a thing?

BTW, we have your books, and they are excellent - thanks!

Regards,
Mike Walraven

You will need to modify the ASP pages to incorporate your branding needs.
For example, I stored unique logos as gif files in the same relative
locstions of all my sites. Then I modified the shell.asp file to include the
logo, eg (line 1382--1390 of the file):
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style=" padding-left: 0.2em;
padding-right: 0.2em; border-bottom: 2px ridge;">
<tr>
<td><img id="idImgBranding" src="../images/branding.gif"
alt="<%=oStringsShared.GetString(IDS_SHARED_IMAGE_ALT_TAG_BRANDING_LOGO)%>"
/></td>
<td style="width: 100%;">

<!--- [3/12/05] SBF Insert the segments logo in the header --->
<p align=right><img border="0"
src="/Images/segmentlogo.gif"></p></td>

Each site displayed its own logo/brand

Good luck
