Site logo

Main Page > User manual > Administer > Site logo

Changes to the site logo will have to be done by a system administrator who has access to the the DCB application files on your web server.

Customizing the logo will require editing two files, the master logo and the deployment logo. The master logo is the original file from the institution, with no modifications. The deployment logo is possibly a modification of the master logo, to make it suitable for the web (as per step 5, below).

The deployment root is the directory in the working copy which contains all the deployment's files, e.g. ~/public_html/



Put the master logo in the deployment root

Add the master logo to the Subversion working copy,

$ svn add 

Make an ancestral relation between the master logo and the deployment logo using the Subversion copy command. After this command is run, the deployment logo may contain JPEG or GIF or etc. data, though it has a .png file name extension. We'll fix this in the next step.

$ svn rm trunk/images/logo.png $ svn cp  trunk/images/logo.png

Modify the deployment logo, to make it suitable for the web,

$ convert  trunk/images/logo.png

Unless the logo is exactly the right size for display on the web, you'll need to resize the deployment logo using the -resize option,

$ convert  -resize x100 trunk/images/logo.png
