SID-01642: Logo Addition

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:	5.0
Category:	CategoryTemplates	Server OS:	Red Hat Linux	Last update:	13 years ago

I would like to add a couple of logo's next to the TWiki Web logo located to the left of each web page. Can someone point me to the specific HTMP coding location in the operative template (is it Patttern.tmpl?) or skin (is it Pattern Skin?) where this company logo is called and implemented as a gif image on the web page in the correct heading?

Discussion and Answer

Two options:

1. Create an image file that lists all your logos (keep height to less than 60px, width as much as you need), attach that file to your Main.TWikiPreferences topic, then add a WIKILOGOIMG setting to that topic pointing to your logo image file. Advantage: Simple. Disadvantage: No individual links to logos. Example setting:

• Set WIKILOGOIMG = %PUBURL%/Main/TWikiPreferences/logoimage.png

2. Assuming you want the logo roll in one dedicated web with a link for each logo.

• Attach individual logo images to a topic in the Main web.
• Clone TWiki.TopMenuSkinTopBar to your dedicated web using same name.
• Edit that topic, find WEBLOGOIMG, and add your logo images into the table cell where the WEBLOGOIMG is. Alternatively, add a new table cell for your logo.

Peter,

Thanks, I understand this approach but it will put the new logo over the TWiki logo on the far left of TopMenuSkinBar. I would like to place new Logos in TOPMenuSkinBar to the right of the TWiki logo. I want to keep the TWiki logo. Therefore, I believe I need to modify the HTML coding where this image is called. I can't find the exact location in the TWiki files where this is done. Am I way off base here? I don't see how the TWiki GUI options allow what I want to do. David

Use option 2 I described. Is this for nuclearconst.net?

-- Peter Thoeny - 2013-02-23

Yes, but I am testing it on nuclearops.net first. David

What do you mean by "clone" in 2nd bullet of item 2? Do you mean duplicate "TopMenuSkinTopBar?

-- David Steininger - 2013-02-26

Yes, duplicate content into your web, using same topic name.
