I want to replace the main logo...but it won't work.

• I've searched on main logo replace in the phpbb3 chat of this forum... trawled through all of the threads. Nothing helps.
• The link of the forum http://lifewithoutlimits.slarti3.myfreeforum.org
• The style I duplicated was "Anna" and I just wanted to create a new main logo.
• My duplicated style is called lifewithoutlimits.myfreeforum.org2
• I went through the whole process as the editor (as suggested)

The Anna style looks like this:


and the new (buggered-up) version looks like this:


and here's the replacement image:


If I had hair in the first place, I would've ripped it out.

I can't quite see where the Anna main logo is coming from, the overall_header.tpl in the slot 1 style seems to force a blank spacer image  

If you see the board to Anna we may be able to see a bit more.

BTW I have been logged in as editor and so we may have conflicted a bit.

Hi, sorry, could you try as the editor again? I've been logged in as the editor (me and Mike run the forum) for a short while so it might be that.

I do note that the macro {SITE_LOGO_IMG} used to set the image via the dialog is simply not present in Anna. I don't know how it gets its logo, but it sure don't look like it can be swapped without a direct template edit.

The site logo is actually set in the css via {IMG_SITE_LOGO_SRC} looking at it again via editor now and will be making the odd edit possibly.

Okay this might be considered a phpbb3 bug? but as you are remotley linking the image it is being messed up and coming through as:

Code:


/* Round cornered boxes and backgrounds
---------------------------------------- */
.headerbar {
   background-color: #8197B3;
   background-image: url(./styles/lifewithoutlimits.myfreeforum.org1/imageset/http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b246/djakeypakey/site_logo1.png);
   color: #FFFFFF;
}


You may need to upload an image which I am still worried might not work, or you will have to edit this in the theme file.

Well I'm reviewing the code styles.php which clearly will not cope either with the upload or the remote linking.

So you will either have to edit or wait until tomorrow as I think this can be coped with by changing the code. I'm very much against changing phpbb3 code at this stage, but in this case I think it makes sense to do so.

Hi there.

LA tried linking to photobucket but I tried uploading directly. However, you've discovered that neither will do so shall await tomorrows exciting computer-hitting (or code change depending on frustration levels on your part). Thanks in advance,

Mike.

you will need to edit an image again or something to clear the cached version.
