Hi,

Firstly - excuse me if this a dumb question!

I've installed iWiccle on a 15-day trial with a view to purchasing if I like how it works.

I don't have much tech experience so I'm learning as I go along. Anyway, I want to add my own logo and replace the iWiccle logo. But i don't know how to do it.

Any pointers for me?

 

Thanks in advance,

Novice Builder

Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like. =)

To change the logo, you will need to open up your FTP program and log into your host where you installed the iWiccle files. Go to the /templates/pro/images folder

Look for "site_logo.png" in that folder and replace it with your image on your computer (with the same name of site_logo.png). In your paint program, save out your image in .png format and rename it.

 

We will be adding to the Admin section in the next update, the ability to change the logo image without going through the FTP.

problem with logo is that it has to be same size as default or it will look very horriable over lapping the tables ( why is this ) ?

I belive it is something to do with that default template but Markus will be here tommorow to answer you question correctly.

At any rate, we will be improving this with new admin controls + more

Thanks for your help Keith, I've uploaded logo to same size and it looks good.

I'm having one or two other problems which I will post up separately and hope you can answer those for me.

Thanks again,

Chris

To edit the whole of the header area including the logo details, crack open skin_wrappers.php and find the section called "top area" (line 281 onward to #364 - from <!-- start top area --> down).

You will find the site logo position there, along with all the other stuff that has to do with your site header. Just change the positions, heights and widths as you like. (Standard inline CSS there, should be pretty obvious what's what once you open it up.)
