How to replace logo of phpBB forum?

Hi,

I have just installed and configured phpBB 2.x forum (subsilver style). I was able to change the logo before by just uploading the same image.

Now I want to again replace the logo but when I upload the image file with the same name, nothing happens. Old logo still shows.

I don't know what's the problem. I have also changed the file name in overall_header.tpl but no success. I also tried by clearing the cache.

Anybody knows what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

 

while uploading the new logo first delete the old one first and then upload it images section dont change any code..just delete the old image and upload new image to images folder.

 

bloomsden, thanks for your reply.

I have tried this also but no success. Still old logo shows up.
Also, if I write image path directly into browser (like www.sitename.com/templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif), it still shows old logo.

Anybody faced this problem already?

 

You'd need to clear the imageset cache in order for changes to the images to take effect.

Process: Admin Control Panel -> Styles Tab -> Look down the left hand menu for 'Style Components' and click "Imagesets" -> *find your style* -> look along the row and click 'refresh' -> Confirm the action -> head back to your index page and hit F5 =).

Unfortunately you have to do this every time you want to make a change to an image, theme or template. To avoid having to refresh the cache every time you can go into the Admin Panel, click "Load Settings" on the left hand side and change "Recompile stale style components:" from No to Yes -> click Submit.

Hope this puts and end to your troubles

 

I could not see any "Style Componenets" option in admin control panel. I guess it would be in version 3.0.

I am using 2.0.19. Can you please guide me how to clear the image set in 2.0 version.

Thanks.

 

I had the same problem, I uploaded the new logo with the same name (sitelogo), and it just dissapeared. I then deleted the old one and then reuploaded. After some problems of it now showing, it showed on my site with the new logo after a while.

Though my version was 3.0.2

 

@UnknownOne, assuming you've got your own phpBB 3 installation the method I wrote 2 posts above should work fine for you.

@MFI, I don't see any reason why you're getting this problem, phpBB 2 doesn't cache anything like phpBB 3 does, so perhaps the problem is on your end. Have you tried clearing your browsers cache?

 

Make sure the dimesions are correct else you have to go into the theme folder and edit the css part of logo,

 

Yes, Dimensions are same as with old logo.

Download the overall_header.tpl

Near the bottom, you will find this line.....


<td><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a></td>

Change the name of your new logo to "logo_phpBB1.gif"

Then, update overall_header.tpl to..

<td><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB1.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a></td>

Delete your old logo & overall_template.tpl. Upload both you new logo and the updated overall_header.tpl.

I think this'll be the easiest way for you

 

Thanks for your reply.

I have followed the same but still problem not solved.

 

What are you using to upload the image? FTP or cPanel?

 

I am using Cpanel.
