I have recently purchased Accord LMS and I am pleased with it and find it a really useful addition to a DNN aplication. I have also recently updated the look of my domain by adding a new DNN5 compatible skin. I noticed that when using the LMS manager to add new SCORM content or to ammend existing materials that the new skin/container rendered a blanket background colour into the editing window, so it made it impossible to see the controls.
I hasten to add that this is nothing to do with Accord LMS it is the skin provider, anyway the only way of safely using the editor was to revert the portal back to DNN's default skin for editing then change back to the preferred skin after.
Question:
Do you have any CSS code that could be added to the style sheet editor that would enable AccordLMS to be managed/edited without having to revert back to DNN's minimal entropy?
Many thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
We have seen this problem before and our fix may help you as well.
If you look at the skin.ascx or the skin.css (should be set here) you may find a bgcolor setting for the body tag. This same bgcolor color will be used in some editors as well. So the body bgcolor must be set to #FFFFFF (or a faint color if you prefer).
If the body tag also has a background image specified, then leave it set to it original value and you should be ready to go.
If the body tag does NOT have a background image set, then make a small graphic image (maybe 100px X 100px) of the original bgcolor. Then set this color tile as the body's background image. This will restore the background color. Background images are not used in the editors.
Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,
Where am I looking for skin.css, in the style sheet editor or somewhere else? There isnt any reference to it there.
Regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
If your skins have been uploaded under Host, they appear under:
www/Portals/_default/Skins/ and www/Portals/_default/Containers/
If your skins have been uploaded under Site, they appear under:
www/Portals/0/Skins/ and www/Portals/0/Containers/ (or whatever your portal number is)
If you make a background color tile, you will need to store in the same directory and use the same path as other graphic elements in your skin. Look at your skin.ascx and skin.css files to see how this is done.
Hope this helps!
