Logo on top of the menu

26 Jan 2009, 18:05

Logo on top of the menu

I'm bit tired of answering how to do that 3th time in a row, so here is little guide. Gotta tell ya there are some bumps on the road still, but we're working on it. Hope this helps.

Image

What we have to do to get this?

1. Get logo image ready
Here is the template which fits Default Theme
Image

2. Save logo to imagevue/templates/default/logo.png
File must be in the same directory theme is. For now that is the only option.

3. Set logo to be displayed on background, in top left corner:
Go to admin
Theme > Default > Edit
Style > Background Image

Image

4. Move menu lower and remove alpha effects ( otherwise menu will be on top of the image )
I just set everything to 0, maybe Karl will suggest something else, just firefox crashed twice while im writing this, so better post already.

Image

5. Remove words "Gallery menu" from language you use
Config > English:

Image

The trick is to actually add   just space won't work.

Step 3 is in ADMIN -> themes -> edit your theme.

I made a special image for my album.
So I cannot put my logo left corner up?

Do you mean if you can have both? I don't think so, it's the same file. I made the menu "around" my logo.

swf logo

05 Feb 2009, 13:43

wouldn ´t it be easy to add instead of an grafic an animated logo as swf or animated gif?

If you guys solve this problem with the logo (which is quiet usefull for most users anyway) and separate it from background, it would look cool.

Also to make it possible to have fixed menus beside the album navigation on top like in first version.

I also tried something else.....

e.g. You wanna make an soundintro for an album and play afterwards music. But not reload the signation.
Like: wwwooooommm - tsching -kling....intro - moving into cool sound.
I hope u understand what i mean - hahaha
:wink:

photosnob, you have to edit Language or create your own language based on the one you using now.

Config > English (laguages are at the right)

I have a question regarding the button that normally reads "Gallery menu"
Can I increase the height of this menu button

If you go to my site http://www.mikeivers.com/web you will see the problem.
I have located my logo in the top left corner. When I hover over the lower part of my logo nothing happens because the original "gallery menu" button does not extent down that far so unfortunately it doesn't trigger the drop down menu. When I hover over the top part of the logo the main menu will drop down(this is because the "gallery menu" button is transparent

So if someone can help me to increase the height of the transparent "gallery menu" button to cover all my logo this will solve the problem

Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Mike

Unfortunately, you can't change the height of that button. I will have to make that an option in next release if anything ...

Ok Karl, Thanks very much. Try and include it in a future release if you get the chance.
I know all these little customisation requests are coming thick and fast. Keep up the good work

Many thanks
Mike

can i make the background a link to home?

13 Apr 2009, 23:19

i have successfully uploaded my logo as my background, positioned TR. as people look through my portfolio, it obviously remains visible which is good but I was wondering if it was possible to make this logo a link to HOME...

I have read that we are able to put a HOME link in the main menu but that would only be a last resort for me.

what i have so far:

Mmm I think if you'll make small swf with only one button and text inside and position it at TR it will do the trick for you.
