Onece again I am stuck and need the guidence of those in the know.

This is the problem.
I am working on a site that was partially created by some one else. I am very new to DNN and I am learning as I go. I need to edit the top portion of the page which I think is the banner. I can not find how to edit or change this within the dotnetnuke framework.
I am able to find it in the code however but I am afraid to edit and upload for fear of messing everything up.
This is the source code I found that I think needs to be changed.

[table class="header" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"]
[tbody] [tr] [td] [br]
                    [table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"]
 [tbody]
 [tr align="center" valign="bottom"] [td style="height: 184px;" align="left"] [a id="dnn_dnnLOGO_hypLogo" title="Samantha Plays" href="http://samanthaplays.com/Default.aspx?base"]
 [img id="dnn_dnnLOGO_imgLogo" src="https://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/s_logo.gif" alt="Samantha Plays" style="border-width: 0px;"]
[/a][/td]

[td style="height: 184px;" align="right"]
 [br] [br] [a id="A1" title="Samantha Plays" href="http://samanthaplays.com/Default.aspx?base"][img src="https://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/SPhompagetopA.jpg" alt="Samantha Plays" style="border-width: 0px;"]
[/img][/a][br] [br] [/td] [/tr] [/tbody] [/table]


Is there a way to fix this on all the site pages except one at  time? How do I make the changes without editing the code?
I can't find anything that says banner and no edit menu comes up when you hoover over it.

Thanks in advance

You need to learn more about DotNetNuke. I suggest that you start with the beginner tutorials.

Joe thanks for the suggestion. I have been through all the tutorials and none of them helped me with this issue. They are however very good and have helped with other issues and have helped me in the development of the site. Since I am not the original creator of the site I am thinking that when the site was created something was omitted and I need to know how to fix it without recoding every page.
The line of code I need to edit is in the <!--HEADER START--> section in the source code on every page of the site.
How do I edit this area if no banner or header module exists?

If what you need to change is in a module in the banner pane, you ought to be able to edit that.

If you want to change the skin, then that's what you edit.

You shouldn't ever have to edit the code. Except in very rare instances.

I don't have a banner pane... that is what i looing for and can't find. Where would it be?
I have looked in the site modules, host modules, pages, file manager, I don't know where to look? Any suggestions?

Where is the banner/header that you want to change?

Do you know how to log in as an administrator, how to view pages in edit mode, how to edit modules, etc.?

Hello,

It sounds as though you want to add a banner pane into your DotNetNuke site. To do this you will need to edit your skin code. - you will not have to edit every single page in your DotNetNuke portal, as the skin looks after the design for all of your pages.  (Check: An Introduction to the Principles of DotNetNuke)

I would suggest that you look at Issue no 5 and 6
as this issue takes you through from the very beginning of working with skins and how to create your own skin. Once you understand these concepts you will then be able to edit your own skin easily.

Once you have got to grips with skins, view this tutorial: Working with Vendors, Banners and Affiliates
- video four in particular teaches how to add banners to a skin

Hope this helps,

Yes, I know how to log in as an administrator, and how to view and edit modules. The one I need does not have an edit menu. It shows on all the pages on the site at the top of the page.

Thanks Lee, I think this is what I am looking for. I created a banner on a test page and it looks the way I inetended. The only problem is it is below the other banner so I am thinking it has something to do with the skin.
I will check out the links.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

It's quite possible that the person who designed the skin built a banner into it ...

That's exactly what happened. The banner was added to the skin.
Under admin I do not see the upload skin option and I don't have access to the host/superuser login information is there a way to upload using ftp?
Thanks for all the help!

Yes, if you have ftp access to the site, you can download/upload files directly.
