Editing Branding with confidence (section)

===Adding a logo===

'''Example 1'''

The simplest approach, (which will require command line access to the server, as this cannot be done safely through the ''Config. Tools -> View Configuration'' section of the EPrints Admin web interface), is to overwrite the default EPrints logo with a copy of your own logo. Copy your logo (e.g. using SCP or SFTP) to: 

 EPRINTS_PATH/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/static/images/sitelogo.png

And refresh the web page. Your logo should now be displayed in place of the default EPrints logo.

'''Example 2'''

The image that EPrints uses for the site logo is defined in the branding configuration file. You can change this setting to point to the logo image on your institution's Web page.

Open the branding configuration file in a text editor (e.g. Vim or Nano) if you are editing it from the command line:

 EPRINTS_PATH/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/branding.pl

You can alternatively edit this file via the '''Config. Tools -> View Configuration''' section of the EPrints Admin web interface, under just:

 cfg/cfg.d/branding.pl

Find the site_logo configuration setting:

<source lang="perl">
$c->{site_logo} = "/images/sitelogo.png";
</source>

Change the setting to point to your own logo image:

<source lang="perl">
$c->{site_logo} = "http://www.soton.ac.uk/img/furniture/royal/corp_logo.gif";
</source>

Reload the EPrints configuration by typing:

 EPRINTS_PATH/bin/epadmin reload ARCHIVEID

If you are doing this via the EPrints Admin web interface click on the '''Reload Configuration''' button under the '''Config. Tools''' tab.

'''Example 3'''

You can also adjust the <tt>site_logo</tt> configuration setting to point any local image file using a text editor at the command line. Place a copy (e.g. using SCP of SFTP) of your logo image somewhere in the <tt>EPRINTS_PATH/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/static/images/</tt> directory and then update the branding configuration file to point to it.

<source lang="perl">
$c->{site_logo} = "/images/mylogo.gif";
</source>

Reload the EPrints configuration by typing:

 EPRINTS_PATH/bin/epadmin reload ARCHIVEID
