More information on how to change the logo in a Joomla site

There are many things that a Joomla developer can occur that seem pretty easy to do, but I'm really not easily answered. For example, change the default logo on a website Joomla seems simple enough, but there are many issues to be resolved before making the change. Questions such as: where is the logo located on the server? How do I download the logo? What should I do if I mess up the new logo?

Change the logo is really very simple, which requires an understanding of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and basic knowledge of Joomla Admin area. This article assumes that the new logo and does not offer any practical tips on how to actually create the logo.

To get started, log in to your administration area and go to Joomla extensions > Management models.Select your default template and click "Edit". If your model has different styles, make note of "default" style Which is currently in use. This style is likely to have its own folder of images and CSS files.

Now click on "edit CSS".If you have a "default style" we will probably be a. css file with the name of style, if so, open it. If there is a default color, then search for "template" default.CSS. click its name to edit it, or click the radio button to the left and then click "Edit". This document to the word "search" logo. most likely you'll see something like this:

logo width: 288px; height: 58px; background: url (./images/dark4 .PNG)

Indicates the width, height, name and location of the logo.Note that in this case is the root directory of images and logo is called dark4 .PNG.

Next, open your FTP program and go to the location that you found to the logo file and download the file to your hard disk.Be sure to back up the file logo and put in a safe place in case you or your customer does not like the results.

Using a graphics program, make the changes you want to have the logo graphic and re-post it in the same position without changing the name. If you change the size of the image, you must change the width and height out originally did. This means that if the new logo is now 300 pixels wide, you may need to replace the current 288 pixels found in the previous example.
