Customizing the RT logo

RT Users
1

Hi all,

I’ve added this to my 3.2.1 RT_SiteConfig.pm file:

Set($LogoURL , $WebImagesURL . “rt_logo.jpg”);

Made sure the file was the in proper place, restarted Apache2, etc.

But I still get the bplogo.gif and http://bestpractical.com link in the
upper-right hand corner.

Is there another way I can stick my own jpeg in the upper-left corner
and remove the bestpractical.com link?

I know its a little lame, but I just overwrote the bplogo.gif file in the
NoAuth/images/ directory.

If you do this, you’ll have to resize your logo to 230 x 50.

I don’t think the code uses the LogoURL variable, so setting it has no
effect. You could name your image bplogo.gif and replace the stock version.

So it seems. I don’t know why that’s in RT_Config.pm?

How about how to remove the link to bestpractical.com?

That’s not very nice. Give credit where credit is
due.

To change that jpg logo on the top left, I simply
dropped an equally sized jpg of my own over the top of
the existing jpg and it worked fine.

You’ll have to modify the code to do that - /Elements/Header is the file.
If you’re going to do that, you can also change the image URL to use $LogoURL.

You can also modify the image sizes in the html/Elements/Header template.

I would copy the Header to rt3/local/html/Elements/Header
And modify line 80 to read:

Now it should recognize the variable in RT_SiteConfig.pm.
Set($LogoURL , $WebImagesURL . “rt_logo.jpg”);

You will also need to copy your “rt_logo.jpg” to
rt3/share/html/NoAuth/images/ or whatever your $WebImagesURL is.

Indeed, it doesn’t. I patched the Debian packaged versions of RT a
while ago on the request of someone who wanted it to honour the
$LogoURL configuration directive. As others have noted though you still
either need to make your logo the same size as the bplogo.gif or
create a local version of the template with the new image sizes. So
you do not gain a lot by patching the source to handle $LogoURL

Joseph, I believe Chris is talking about the link under the logo, top
left; not the link at the bottom of the page.
