Posted by B.Ramburn in After recent replies on my guide on how to edit skin template for IPB here is a section that I felt I missed out for new comers who wants to edit their logo.
There are 2 ways, the easy way and the hard way. Both are useful at their own circumstances.
The hard way
The hard way is editing a template bit. First you have to go to your admincp > looks & feel > skin Manager > edit template html (from the drop menu next to the skin you want to edit). Now in this new interface look for All global HTML when you click that a small sliding screen will display the template bits.
Now you would want to choose global_board_header now you will find a section of html like this:
<img src=’style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/logo4.gif’ style=’vertical-align:top’ alt=’IPB’ border=’0′ />
Now you just edit the image url there to change your logo.
The Easy Way
The easy way is very simple to do, go to your admincp > Looks & feel > easy logo changer (this is on the top left menu list). Then you will be displayed with something like this :
In this form you choose the skin set you want to change the logo of, then below that there are 2 fields to allow you to upload an image to replace it or paste the link to a new logo.
That was easy wasn’t it? oh btw if you want to change the repeating background then you have to edit #logostrip in the css of that skin set and change tile_back.gif to your new background. OR you could just overwrite tile_back.gif to match the new logo.
