How to add an image logo & put it where I want it??

Permalink
Hi there,

I am entirely new to using C5. I have the newest version installed, and have downloaded and installed a few themes: Silence and Cutzco. I would like to use a logo and not just text at the top of the page. How can I do that?? And can I move it? For example have the logo be on the very top of the page and the navigation and content beneath it? Not sure if that makes sense.

Is it hard to just design a site in Dreamweaver like I normally do and then turn it into a C5 template?

Thank you!

Hi Carrie

Welcome to the community :0)

First off, if you have downloaded several themes and applied these in somehow, you should know by now that all the themes that comes with the standard installation of C5, are placed in this folder:
concrete 5.x.x >> concrete >> themes

However since you installed the new themes, these are most likely to be placed here:
concrete 5.x.x >> themes

So if this is the case you should try opening that specific theme you would like to edit.

Somewhere in the theme folder you should take a look at these pages:
- default.php
- left_sidebar.php
if these files are the ones in there.

Open the php files and see if can locate some code looking like this:
<div id="header">       
<h1 id="logo"><!--
--><a href="<?php echo DIR_REL?>/"><?php 
$block = Block::getByName('My_Site_Name');
if( $block && $block->bID ) $block->display();  
else echo SITE;
?></a><!--
--></h1>


This code could be replaced with the logo.jpg or what you are working with, and when you have repeated this in all the php files you should have a logo instead of a text.

Be sure to do copies of the original files before going to work, so that it is possible to go back and start over.

Hope this helped or please do not hesitate to write back.
