Changing the logo

In Plone v2.x:

  • Click the custom folder
    • Located: [site]/portal_skins
  • Upload/add an image
  • Click base_properties
    • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_styles
  • Click the Customize button
    • A copy of the template will be moved into the custom folder
      • Located: [site]/portal_skins/custom
  • Change the logoName field to the name of your new, uploaded image.
    If you have issues with disappearing CSS styles, you may need to add the extension of your uploaded file in the id field (i.e., newlogo.jpg).
Note:
To return to base_properties once it has been created the custom folder: navigate to [site]/portal_skins/custom, click base_properties, and then click the Properties tab.
In Plone v3.x:

As of the current version of Plone 3.1, the simplest way to customize the logo is still the Plone v2 way (above). Stay tuned for changes and improvements to templates and viewlets (when they are working properly).
