Have you ever wanted to get at more than just <%= SkinPath %>in your skin?

Maybe you want to display the name of the currently Active Page?

<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %>

Or maybe you want to display the name of the Active Page's Root level Parent?

<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabName%>

If you want the currently Active Page's immediate Parent Tab Name try this:

<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level - 1).TabName %>

To get the ID of the tab/page you would use:

<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID %>

To print out if a User is logged in or not logged in you can use something like :

<%= iif(Request.IsAuthenticated,"LoggedIn","NotLoggedIn") %>

Hi Sam,

That would be:
<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Title %>

Another feature that is not widely known is that you can create a link to a tab by just knowing the name of the tab/page:

<ahref="/?tabname=store">Store>

<ahref="http://www.drivewaydesign">LOGO>

Another way would be like this:

<ahref="/?tabid=<%=PortalSettings.HomeTabId%>">LOGO

How to show the name of the Portal.

<%= PortalSettings.PortalName %>

Hi Sam.

That's a good point. It would break a lot that way wouldn't it?

<% 
    If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > 0 Then
        Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level - 1).TabName)
    End If
%>

To get the current portal's home directory (i.e. /portals/0 ) you would use:

<%= PortalSettings.HomeDirectory %>

Beware that if there is a page also named "store" in the recycle bin that this will fail.  Otherwise, it's a GREAT solution.

Hi Joe,

Which one fails if there is a tab named "store" in the recycle bin?

John, I think he means this one: <ahref="/?tabname=store">Store>, which I am also struggling with.

My DNN is installed in a folder and when I try the above it assumes the domain root. What code can I use to make it construct the url correctly?
