Question

I'm trying to customize some webs so each web has a unique logo. It's supposedly possible.

What makes it difficult is that there is no clear explanation of where the info that calls up page parts resides, nor the heirarchy of what overrides what when placed where. If the information exists, it's scattered around the discussions of the various preferences and pages and skins ... I'm looking for an overview of the relationships and power structure of the web elements. Users shouldn't have to reverse engineer TWiki to change a logo.

You are correct, they shouldn't have to reverse engineer to find out such obvious things. I was annoyed that I had to some years ago.

This is better documented in the Dakar release where the setting of the LOGO image vs the is much clearer and handled in each web's WebPreferences.

As it stands in the Cairo release you are using, the logo is set in TWikiPreferences and is called WIKILOGOIMG. There is nothing to prevent this being over-ridden on a per web basis.

I'm trying to set a unique logo for each web and having a problem. The logo for the main web is set and appears on its pages. However, I have another logo set for another web. This logo appears in that web's Web Preferences (i.e.: the image appears) but the logo does not appear on the web's pages. Instead, the error red "X" appears where the logo should be. It's as if it can't find the image. The logo for that web is attached to that web's Web Preferences page, and I've checked to make sure the logo's URL is correct. Thank you in advance for any advice.

That is an indication that the logo URL references WhereDoThingsHide instead of WebPreferences.

It is better to open a new support question because your environment is likely to be different from the previous person.
