arnoldlouie: hello
How can I change the logo of my Twiki?
I don't where to find the site level preferences
can it be done through the web interface?
PeterThoeny: yes
go first to the TWikiPreferences in the TWiki web, do a raw view, find the logo setting, copy to clipboard
arnoldlouie: is this the bin/configure page?
PeterThoeny: then go to TWikiPreferences in the Main web, edit raw, and past from clipboard
no, in your twiki
arnoldlouie: ah ok i got it
PeterThoeny: attach the new logo to TWikiPreferences in the Main web
then tweak the logo setting to reference that logo
example of twiki.org twiki:
* Set WIKILOGOIMG = %PUBURL%/TWiki/TWikiLogos/T-logo-140x40-t.gif
in your case it could be:
* Set WIKILOGOIMG = %PUBURL%/Main/TWikiPreferences/logo.png
i recommend 55 pixels for max height of logo
make it with a transparent background
arnoldlouie: ok let me try that
i do'nt see the logo setting in the twiki web so I guess i have to add teh line
PeterThoeny: it is there
don't modify the logo setting in the TWiki web's TWikiPreferences (to avoid upgrade issues later on)
just copy the settings over to the Main web's TWikiPreferences
arnoldlouie: when I click on Twiki Web -> Preferences, all I see is documenation
PeterThoeny: this is the web's preferences, not the site wide preferences
in WebPreferences on top you see the link to TWiki.TWikiPreferences
preferences have a hierarchy: TWiki.TWikiPreferences, Main.TWikiPreferences, WebPreferences, user preferences, preferences setting in topic
arnoldlouie: ok i think i managed to find main.twikipreferences
not sure how i ended up tehre
PeterThoeny: is this an upgrade or a new install?
arnoldlouie: um upgrade i suppose
but it never had logos to begin with
PeterThoeny: it is good to brand the twiki to your org, it helps with user buy-in
arnoldlouie: is there a spot where I can view where all teh variables are defined?
Thanks Peter, I got the logo set up now
PeterThoeny: arnoldlouie: use %ALLVARIABLES%, http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki06x00/VarALLVARIABLES
