Hi,
I'm using the simplespace theme in Moodle 2.0. Everything seems to be working perfectly in it except the logo which I can't seem to be able to replace. I have used the theme settings to change it but nothing has happened, so i tried replacing the file called logo.png with my logo, but it still hasn't worked. Could anyone advise me as to how I could get this to work?
Thanks very much!
Graham
PS - I think the theme is great - perfectly simple and nicely laid out.
Hi Graham,
Try going to Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme Selector
and click the button which says "clear theme caches". This should cause the theme engine to "forget" the old logo and use the new one.
Because Moode 2.0 caches all the files/images etc what you see is not an updated version if you have been making some changes...the logo in your case.
To over come this, you need to put your site in Developer Mode which is done by selecting...
Settings> Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme Setting then put a tick in the box to Enable Developer Mode
Save you changes and you should now see the logo, if you added it correctly.
When you are done making changes. Disable the developer Mode as it does slow down your site.

I am starting moodle very beginning. I used simplespace on moodle 2.0.5 and it works very well. I want to change logo and use a picture as a banner size. when I can change the logo file with mine pictures change but size didn't.
I would like to put a pictures on grey area till user information. so it looks a banner. as a attachment file.
Or I change logo with another and use grey space middle of logo and user information for this picture.
Logo size is 257x64 and my logo size 1115x222. What should I do? how and where can modify ?
Hi,
I dont have time to check this out at the moment, but I'll take a look at the code later and get back to you...OK?
Cheers

Hi,
The best thing to do, because of the large size banner image, is to add it to the background of the page and NOT as a logo.
Then make changes to the following CSS files...
/** theme/simplespace/style/colors.css **/
html,body {
background:#fff url(setting:background) no-repeat center 35px;
}
/** theme/simplespace/style/css **/
.thetitle {
float:left;
margin-left:5px;
position:relative;
width:300px;
height:120px;
overflow:hidden;
visibility: hidden;
}
#textcontainer {
clear:both;
border:none;
width: 90%;
min-width:920px;
height:222px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I hope this helps?
Cheers
Mary
