Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

Firstly, apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I'm struggling to find an answer suitable for a relative beginner.

The website I am working on is http://www.ringwoodjudoclub.co.uk

It's at an early stage and I have a grasp of most of it apart from replacing the default Joomla header banner (because open source matters) and the text to the right of it. I would like to reaplce it with a small logo to go in the left corner and a header of 'Ringwood Judo Club'

How can this be changed? I'm using the standard milkway way template currently. Is the solution going to be the same with the Beez template?

Any other advice would also be muchly appreciated.

Thanks

Doug

Hi,

A very easy way is to make your own image 298 px width and 75 px height and name it mw_joomla_logo.png and upload it to templates/rhuk_milkyway/images/

The other way is to dive into the template files and do some changes in the css file.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for that, it worked. My next problem is determining the background colour of the top header, it appears to be a fading grey. Is there a way of changing this so it is one shade of grey? Or is there a way of using a similar fade in a graphics package?

As you can see from the website the work in progress banner has a white background and looks rather untidy!

I also have a larger logo and it just displays behind the header with its top sticking out. Any help?

Does it have to be png or will jpg work?

JPG will also work but then you have to make sure the filename in the template.css file is correct.

Check this post of mine:

Hei!

I'm working on it for my page too, I just put a jpeg. It works.

Just make sure to prepare the size in pixels that suits you, I recommend to make it better 96 pixels per inch to not to have problems, so it will always fit. then in the template.css file write the name of your file on the place of the joomla file as they say, but also change the width/height acording to the size of your file



div#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
float: left;
width: 529px;
height: 90px;
background: url(../images/eljandro_headlogo.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-left: 30px;
margin-top: 25px;

Anyway, for other matters, my page is not yet ready, let's see. Good luck with yours!

I've sorted out how to change the size and image but I want the image to be centered relative to the rest of the header and site.
The relevant code at the moment is:-

div#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
float: centre;
width: 990px;
height: 80px;
background: url(../images/banner1872b.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-left: 120px;
margin-top: 25px;
}

What do I need to add/change to get it centered?

If I have created my logo and put it in this file, will it show in my web address when I go live? Can I make it show up while I am building the site? this is the folder it is in C:\wamp\www\Joomla-1.5.2 stable\templates\aurora\images\blue

believe

I think PNG is work.

How do you upload it to templates/rhuk_milkyway/images/ or link it to your own images folder? I've tried my own folder and it still doesn't work.

Hi,

I also have this problem. I can remove the Joomla! logo by disabling the CSS line that reads:
background: url(../images/mw_joomla_logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;

However, if I upload my own logo either in .png or .jpg format (transparent or opaque), with identical image dimensions, and rename my logo file to mw_joomla_logo.png or mw_joomla_logo.jpg (whichever applies), and ensure permissions are set to 755, then re-enable that CSS statement, the best results I can possibly get are a rather distorted display of my image, with distorted colour patterns.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've tried everything I can think of and I'm totally stumped.

I'm a beginner and finding this topic enlightening, to say the least. How do I get to
viewtopic.php?f=480&t=286738 and to others referenced in some posts? No sense repeating some very good info. Thanks!

Based on the replies I've read so far, I looked at the replacement logo I propose to use and oh my, I've got troubles. I've inherited a background for the home page, which I really like and it is 760 X 620. Anyway, those were the numbers next to the file size and I can't imagine what else they would represent. How can I get it into my current project where I'm using milkyway??
