Editing Logo

by macuserman » Mon Apr 23, 2018 3:33 am

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my logo to display properly. Or even at all the best I can achieve is just to get it to flash up briefly right when loading the site for the first time then it goes away. Any ideas on how to get it to show on the forefront? I feel like it's there just hidden.

www.ssgtirep.com/forum is the site url. I’m sure I’ve goofed it up in some noon sort of manner. I’m new to this so I am prone to making silly mistakes. Thanks for taking a look.

Tell me what steps did you take in order to edit the logo and what were you are trying to achieve at the end?

I'm not trying to achieve anything fancy, I just want to show a custom logo png file I've created in the upper left corner. To do this, I added my png file to the images folder inside the myinvision style. Then I edited the colours.css file in the style theme folder like this:

.site_logo {
background-image: url("./images/SSRLOGO3.png");
}

That's all I've done so far.

That should do the trick but for some reason your overall_header.html file is missing that site_logo class and has some extra styling added instead and your colour.css doesn't seem to have the changes you've made applied. So first you need to fix your html file. Look for this

Code: Select all

<span class="" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0% 0%; background-size: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: 95px; width: 432px; border-radius: 0px;"></span>
and change it to this

Code: Select all

<span class="site_logo"></span>
Then you need to make sure you've edited the correct colours.css file.

Alright! So it's working now, apparently I created a logo that is waaaay to big, but at least it is showing now if only a tiny cropped portion. Thanks for your help! Now I just have to figure out how to make it fit or find a way to make a smaller logo that I like and I'll be all set.

This is what I'm getting now:

I think I'm going to try and figure out how to just get rid of the site header and have it show up like this maybe:

With the site description underneath.

It's either that, or figure out how to change the header font to Helvetica Neue Black and then just reduce the logo to the red S. I'm not sure which is easier.

To change the font, it's in the "common" css stylesheet,

Code: Select all

h1 {
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Code: Select all

h1 {
    font-family: Helvetica Neue Black;
Just a suggestion you could make a logo image with the "S" plus the site name and the site description - then hide the H1 and description which would solve the overlapping.
