How do I add my logo within the Moment template?

I am a newbie to Joomla, so please excuse if this is a basic step. I am trying to upload my logo to be used within the Moment template. I have a tried a few things and have been unsuccessful. I tried changing the location within the HTML where the logo.png is being pulled from and that just ends up in the removal of default logo and only the alt text to be displayed. I also tried finding the "images" folder within Templates, but am unable to find it let alone the Templates folder.

I appreciate any help that can be offered.

P.S. Using Joomla 1.5.14

Hi

The logo from demo is located at templates/gk_themoment/images/logo.png

Overwritting it with new in png format will solve the problem.

Thanks for the response! This is where I am getting lost. Where is this folder located:
templates/gk_themoment/images/logo.png

I don't see a templates folder within Joomla, only Template Manager. I have checked within the Moment template within Template manager, and I do not see a way to access images from here either. I have included a screen shot of what I am seeing for your reference.

Unable to upload due to a file size. Here is a link to it:

Using an FTP client (such as Filezilla - free by the way), go into the root public directory of your website (usually htdocs or public_html)... you'll see the template folder there... drill down to templates/gk_themoment/images/ and overwrite logo.png with your company logo...

IMPORTANT NOTE: be sure that your logo is the same size as the logo.pnd in the directory (by size, I mean height x width, not kb)

If you still need help --- feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll see what I can do to help you out with it!

Sincerely,

Thank you, Robert. I actually took over the design of this particular site and have not used the FTP client they are using, assuming they have to be using one. I will see if I can figure this out, and will probably need to circle back with the owners of the site in order to gain access to their FTP client.

Thank you for the offer for direct contact, I appreciate it.

No problem Nick... Let me know if you need help - I'm ALWAYS willing to help out folks just getting into Joomla... it can be a little daunting to start... but once you get the hang of it - look out!

Hi

rhantson is right You could use ftp client to make it quick and also I was thinking this way. But there is a way which doesn't need to use ftp. Not so quick.

Please upload Your logo file using Media Manager. Let's say You are uploading it into base directory.

Now please go to Template Manager, choose The Moment template and edit HTML.

Please find the code which loads logo:

Code: Select all

<a id="logo<?php echo ($logo_as_image) ? '' : '_styled'; ?>" class="nounder" href="./">   
            <?php if($logo_as_image) : ?>
            <img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/images/logo.png" alt="Logo" />
            <?php endif; ?>   
         </a>


and please modyfie the line:

Code: Select all

<img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/images/logo.png" alt="Logo" />


to

Code: Select all

<img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/images/logo.png" alt="Logo" />


Please keep just the height of the logo, width is not so important but do not overdo it

Thank you both so much for your help - it worked! I have a logo! So again, thank you.
