Changing the theme logo

Posted February 6th, 2008 by jeb69

Hi. Using the drigg_theme I just tried to upload an image to replace the default logo. For reason the favicon works (appears in browser), but the uploaded logo does not. However, when directly accessing the logo "files/drigg_theme_logo.jpg" via url it appears!
What is also strange is that the file names don't change, just the graphic itself. Any insight? PS. Congrats on a fantastic build!

You need to make sure you're

You need to make sure you're replacing the correct image. If it's not working then you're not replacing the real logo img

Try replacing the default

Try replacing the default theme logo(located in /themes/name of theme/) with your own logo(rename it with the same name instead of uploading through Drupal).

I had problems figuring out

I had problems figuring out how to center my logo. I discovered that if you alter sites/all/themes/drigg_theme/page.tpl.php, you must also make the same changes to sites/all/modules/drigg/stock_themes/drigg_theme/page.tpl.php and they both use the same style sheets as far as I can tell.

Just posting this in case it helps someone.

Thanks, Merc, for the script! :)

Every glitch reported had

Every glitch reported had something to do with the code of the page. Usually users don't have all the necessary knowledge to reprogram a page and end up posing questions such as this. Anyway, this is why there is a forum here, for users in need. It took me a long long time to get the hang of it and still sometimes I come here and post a question or two. It's hard for everybody, I know. Good luck to you all!

Very deep.

Hi,

That was seep, insightful, and meaningful.
Wow.

Merc.

I think i had this problem

On April 1st, 2008 justink said:

I think i had this problem and it was addressed in a thread thats probably a couple pages back in this forum. Essentially if you copy the entire "drigg" theme folder and rename it to something else, then select your renamed theme as your sitewide theme from the admin panel it will allow you to change the logos. The default theme seems to have some sort of write protect on it. I would change out the logos like your talking about and the same thing was happening. I was going crazy!

Correct placement of themes

On March 30th, 2008 jeb69 said:

There are themes at the root level

> Themes

and themes at the site level

Sites > All > Themes
(this is where the drigg_theme lives)

At least this is how my install looks. Does anyone have insight into a preferred placement of the theme folders?

Never noticed the Adsense...

On March 30th, 2008 jeb69 said:

though they seem to be inactive and use a css class style named "googleads_top" that isn't defined anywhere. Tried putting in my own adsense code but didn't work.

Another class style "controlbar clearfix" is obviously defined wrong because of the space in the name.

A clean theme would be fantastic.

Bad Theme

On March 30th, 2008 Spamfree said:

The drigg_theme is a pretty bad one. The logo problem you describe is one issue. There is also Google Adsense code in the the template for someone else's Adsense account and a host of other problems.

It seems that we need some new Drigg themes or, if possible, a modular way to Drigg enable standard Drupal themes.

OH MY!!!

On March 31st, 2008 admin said:

Hi,

OH MY...
I had left the Google ads in the template... and nobody ever told me?!?!?!?

I have already fixed the problem.

Spamfree: please let me know if you are able to fix Drigg's standard template's theme, and the other unspecified "host of other problems".

There is no way for Drigg to use standard Drupal themes without a bit of work. It's not major work, but it is work nevertheless.
(Mainly, adding the Drigg-specific calls so that the right menu is displayed and small changes to the CSS so that the site "works")

So has anybody ever figured

On March 10th, 2008 johndango said:

So has anybody ever figured out a work around for this? I've spent like the last 3 hours trying things and NOTHING has worked. My site looks terribly unprofessional without a logo. And I realize that this is sort of a side question, but I can't figure out how to put a banner ad of my own up on the right side across from where the logo would go. Could anyone help me with either of these issues please? Thanks.

CLear the cache?

Hi,

What if you clear the cache?

Logo swapping

On February 8th, 2008 jeb69 said:

Hi. Tried that but to no avail. However, when changing the theme to "Pushbutton" I was able to upload and see the logo. In the drigg_theme, after uploading no logo appears.

The Drigg logo is called

On February 17th, 2008 getsmartt said:

The Drigg logo is called directly from the main.css file

#header_title h1 a {
display: block;
width: 220px;
height: 100px;
background: url("../img/header_logo.gif") no-repeat top left;

You must either change the css file or upload your logo named header_logo.gif to the /sites/all/themes/drigg_theme/img folder

Bug in the theme...

On February 10th, 2008 admin said:

Hi,

This seems to be a bug in the theme.
Can you work out which part of the theme outputs the logo, and what is actually missing from Drigg?

Merc.

I can't work it out

On February 17th, 2008 nVegas said:

The issue has been explained, but I haven't found a work around.
I'm eager to get some help on this... /mark

Not sure what you mean

On February 17th, 2008 admin said:

Hi,

I am not sure what you mean... who explained the issue, and where? :-D

Merc.

who explained this issue? THIS THREAD

On February 25th, 2008 nVegas said:

I mean this issue have been explained in this thread, so I didn't think I needed to repeat those details over again. But here they are again anyway:

Using the drigg_theme I just tried to upload an image to replace the default logo. For some reason the favicon works (appears in browser), but the uploaded logo does not. However, when directly accessing the logo "files/drigg_theme_logo.jpg" via url it appears!
What is also strange is that the file names don't change, just the graphic will not show went it loads in the drigg_theme template itself. Any insight?

The first thing that a guy like me want to do is UPLOAD my our own logo for the world to see--it is KILLING me that NO CAN SEE IT --help!

/mark

p.s. Are there other Templates out there I can use to replace the default Drigg_Theme ??

This is a genuine bug...

On February 26th, 2008 admin said:

Hi,

Please file a bug in Drupal for Drigg. Link:

http://www.drigg-code.org/pages/bug_reports

Bye,

Merc.
