CMS Made Simple Forums

I've got my pages pointing to the stylesheet “Layout: Left sidebar + 1 column” and within that file can be found under

“div#header h1 a”
the following:  url(images/cms/logo1.gif)

which I took to mean the location on my server where the CMS logo is stored.  I went to the server and had a look at the file, and sure enough it was the logo that appears on every screen.  So, as a first step to putting my own there, I created a test gif file and gave it the same name as yours (ie. logo1.gif) and FTP-ed it into the same place as the original on my server.

However, when I view my screen the original logo is still displayed.  Where am I going off the rails?

You should put your image in uploads/images then in the CSS use  background:  url(uloads/images/logo1.gif)  of course your image can be named to your liking, the default image is the same one used for the admin that's why it's in that folder...

It’s fixed.  But I’m looking in the other directory you identified, and wondering what the function of directory uploads/images is for, can you say? 

But it’s fixed because I forgot we are using unix here, I guess.  The image file I created was saved as logo1.GIF and after FTP-ing it noticed it positioned next to logo1.gif.  Wow!  So, a rename from .GIF to .gif fixed it for me.  Sorry, my blue.  I should be more careful.

The images/cms/ folder is root/system, ie,. mainly for the CMSMS systems use...

The folder uploads/images is for all the other files/folders you use in creating/designing your site, it's the main repository for modules like image manager, if you upload an image thru a module it will place it in the uploads/images folder...

The developers may want to change this in the default implementation so folks wont think this is where they need to put things...

The images in uploads/images can be managed (added, overwritten, deleted) from the site Admin through the File/Image Manager and can be easily added to page content from the WYSIWYG.
