    just beginning to modify the skin - login page: howto?

    Hello,

    I have downloaded the 10 pages skinning guide .pdf and am trying the first things.

    My question:
    For example I would remove the "help" button from the login page.
    I understand the template to modify is the "Masterpages\myskin\Login.Master".

    The code part should be this:

                                            <td class="LogInBox">
                                                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MPH" runat="server" />
                                            </td>

    Hm.. and then?
    Where is the actual code I need to change?

    This is the code how it is shown in the browser:

    <td>
                               
                        <div class="ButtonBarDivElement" id="ctl00_MPH_HelpImageButton">
                            <a tabindex="6" target="helpwindow" href="http://www.smartertools.com/Help/SmarterMail/v5/Default.aspx?p=_USR&amp;v=5.5.3223&amp;lang=en-US&amp;page=LoginUser" class="ButtonBarAnchor">
                                <span class="ButtonBarLeftWrap">
                                    <span class="ButtonBarRightWrap">
                                        <span class="ButtonBarInnerWrap">
                                            <div class="ButtonBarMenuIcon"><img src="/App_Themes/Horizon/Images/Icons/ButtonBar/../Login/Help.png"/></div>
                                            <div class="ButtonBarMenuIconText">Help</div>
                                        </span>
                                    </span>
                                </span>
                            </a>
                        </div>
                            </td>

     

    I would like to delete this code from the login page.. But where do I find this code?

    Thank you for helping me and pointing me to the right direction.

    Any text you can change will be in the SmarterMail\MRS\App_Data\Translations\en.xml file. You will not be able to change the version number, though.

    Thanks James. I also want to change the text on the bottom of the Login.aspx page. I chnaged the ContentSettings.xml file to the text I wanted, but the chnages do not show up. Any suggestions?

    You will need to IISRESET after the modification of the ContentSettings.xml file. Also, be aware that ContentSettings.xml will auto update. So you should change the Content_LastUpdatedUTC value to a date far in the future to trick it into not updating.
