logo no title

posts: 11 None

Hi, I'm trying to find out if it is possible to have a logo in the upper-left hand corner (top of leftcolumn) which would appear on every page where the left bar is and also be a link to home. I've used the logo module but that's not what I'm looking for: the layout I am thinking of would put the image flush with the top of div:main (no title bar) and the left column would then be the same fixed width as the image.

Anyone have ideas?

Clarification:
sorry I mean the logo image would be flush with DIV#tiki-mid not main.

Hi,

sorry the code can not be shown, hope you understand this!

Put your image link in tiki.tpl (if using theme that has its own tiki.tpl use it!)

around line 16 in tw 181
just after - td id="leftcolumn"
Put you link to image here - img src="/images/tiki.jpg"
just before - section name=homeix loop=$left_modules

The page MoreNeatLayoutSchema shows the layout.

This is the result at my tikiwiki181 test site

Very nice, thanks! 😀
For anyone else's reference, to set leftcolumn to static pixel width, you will edit css: TD#leftcolumn, div.box, div.box-title, and div.box-data.
I found the layout schema, thanks, it's quite useful.

Hi sonya;
Could you please tell me what do your css edits do? I do not understand. Is this to get the image placement or something?

Thanks,
James

Yes, the css edits I indicated would be to make the left column a fixed width, so that it will be the same width as the logo.
Let's say I have a logo at the top of leftcolumn that is 144 pixels wide and I don't want any space between the right side of this logo and centercolumn. I change width: to 144px for TD#leftcolumn, div.box, and div.box-title, and change width: 124px for div.box-data.
All clear?
I'd include the url for my site online, but I'm getting xml errors, another issue. 🙁

Hi,that was a helpfull replie!
I am struggling to fit all the pieces together and figgure out what connects to what. This css info makes the connections a bit clearer. The more I learn the more I see I can learn in this huge puzzle that is tikiwik.
Thanks, James
