Newbie Question - changing header nav

Permalink September 08, 2011 at 9:28 PM

Hi all,

I wish I had more time to search out this answer but I'm in a rush so I appreciate any replies.

I'm using the dark-chocolate theme, and at the top of every page is the site name in what looks to be a <h1> tag, then to the right there are the links that make make up the rest of the site.

I'd like to replace the site name with an image. I looked in the theme/elements folder and there's a header.php

In it there's a bit of code that looks like this:

<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>

Would the recommended method be? I'm just trying to get this done as fast as possible. I promise to learn how concrete works later. Now that I'm looking at it, I'm thinking I'd need to make a block with the image in it, then call it by name. I'll try that in the meantime.

Hi,
Site name is not part of the header nav.
It is, however, already designed to be easily edited.

Thanks, I would not have thought to look in the scrapbooks area. I was able to edit the block to my liking, however, it appears that edits don't affect pages that have already been created, even though it says it will.

Be sure to clear both site and browser cache... this usually works for me ;)

Thanks, clearing the site cache fixed it, much appreciated.

In case someone has this same issue its under Dashboard->Sitewide Settings->Clear Cache
