changing logo image in header driving me totally insane - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


i've installed latest version of joomla , i'm running on xampp.

i have read countless posts , tutorials on changing joomla logo image. i've done all. doesn't work. did again, , again. right can't any image show in header @ all. can't original png file show in header.

because of this, have taken upon myself become milky header expert, , looking can perhaps post isolated portions of template css file deal header can fool around it.

swapping out canned logo whatever want go there flash or sort of image file should piece of cake. i've spent better part of evening trying it.

i'm going bed now. if can tell me haven't tried already, i'll try in morning. >:(

bonjour,

i "feel pain" :) ... been there myself when first starting joomla! try this:

below css logo "called"; line 82 92 in template.css file in yoursite/templates/rhuk_milkyway/css

div#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
float: left;
width: 298px;
height: 75px;
background: url(../images/mw_joomla_logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-left: 30px;
margin-top: 25px;
}

the "very easiest" way change out logo create own png graphic, making dimensions indicated in above css, namely 298px wide , 75px high , name same, i.e. mw_joomla_logo.png. copy new logo yoursite/templates/rhuk_milkyway/images , either overwrite existing 1 or rename existing 1 first (this do: rename lile mw_joomla_logo_orig.png ... in case want use again).

looking @ above css, should (i hope :) ) rather obvious how following:
- use own file name graphic
- change dimensions allocated graphic if made 1 of different size
- change position of logo graphic (margin values:) )

grab big cuppa joe , give go :)

cheers!
lyle
