Text header rather than logo?

Post by sweth »

I'm testing out a stock install of CMSMS, and can't seem to see any easy way to have text (e.g. the site name) appear in the header section rather than using a logo.  Will I need to hack templates to do that?  Are there any (clean and simple) themes that would take care of this?

TIA,

Sweth.

the header logo is specified in the stylesheets, for most templates anyway.  So just replace this image call with the text of your choice.

The logo appears to be set via the url() background property, though, and I don't believe that there's an equivalent text property, nor do I think that a tag like {sitename} would be expanded from the stylesheet even if I could include it in a property somehow.  I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but if so, could someone gie me an example?

correct on both counts (AFAIK)

But you can replace:
background-image: url(images/cms/newCIHbg.jpg);


with
Your site header text here

Just style the span as needed.

I believe in the future db stylesheets will be parsed by Smarty, but not currently.
