CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi there...

I've uploaded CMS Made Simple, and most of it seems to be working okay.  However, whenever I try and change the CMS Made Simple logo to that of my own, it just won't work.  No logo comes up at all.  I've uploaded the new logos to my Image File within my admin area, but it still won't work.  The code as it looks with the CMS Made Simple logo is as follows...

div#header h1 a {
/* you can set your own image here */
  background: #385C72 url(images/cms/logo1.gif) no-repeat 0 12px;
  display: block;
  height: 80px;            /* adjust according your image size */
  text-indent: -999em;  /* this hides the text */
  text-decoration:none; /* old firefox would have shown underline for the link, this explicitly hides it */
}


So, I try and replace the url(images/cms/logo1.gif) to reflect my own image.  I just replace the logo1.gif to that of my own.

What am I doing wrong?  Thanks

James

Hi James,

Can you post a link so we can make a look?

Sometimes it's very difficult to guess what the reason could be ...

Sure... http://www.rockinupastorm.com/cms/cmsmadesimple/

I've saved it now with my test logo, called logo2.gif, but it doesn't show up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

James

James,

it shows up, only late, as it is around 1.4 MB. The placement is wrong (opens in the first news-entry), maybe because of the width, height. If you resize it to a proper size, you only have to adjust the "header" and "header h2 a" in your css to reflect the image-height.

edit:
I was talking about the kp1_logo.bmp, as this one is shown, where did you upload the logo2.gif, as the css points to
Ronny

Hi Ronny...

Yeah, the KP1.bmp was just a quick thing I added to the news module...

I uploaded the logo2.gif via the Image Manager, to the same folder which houses the CMS logo (known as logo1.gif).

So yes, it should be in the folder you mentioned
images/cms/logo2.gif

James

Can you check the rights on the uploaded image, it might be 022, instead of 002. Just give it complete rights (777) so that it can be opened.

Is the file-name all lower-case?

Ronny

Well, I've checked the images folder on my server, where the CMS Made Simple has been uploaded to, and it doesn't have the logo.2 gif saved.  However, in the Image Manager within the CMS Made Simple editor, it says it is there.  Is this a fault within the Image Manager?

I will try and upload the image directly to my server's folder. 

Any suggestions?

James

James,

I think that the image is placed under "uploads" as it stores all uploads over there. Initially the logo1.gif might be stored twice, once under images/cms/ and once under uploads/...... If you check the path while using FTP you might find out what the correct directory is. I thought that image-manager only works, starting from "uploads" down.

Ronny

Okay Ronny... I'll have a look at that.  I've uploaded the image directly via my server to the images folder, and it now works.  I hope I haven't got to do this every time for an image though! 

Thanks so much for your time, it is appreciated.  I'll lt you know if I need more help

James

James,

no you don't have to go all that every time. All images you'll upload will end up under "uploads", so all you have to do is relatively point to that directory as a start.

Yep, of course.  Silly me!  Many thanks again.
