Header logo
Introduction
The Goal: your logo in the page header
Your theme shows your logo in the page header.
The Task: change header.html in your theme folder
You place your logo in the file "header.html" in your theme folder and adjust the appropriate CSS properties.
The Way: change the following lines
In the file "header.html" you see the following lines (or something similar):
01: <?php if ($home) {
02: // This is what gets printed on the home page only
03: ?>
04: <div id="header-home">
05: <div class="headermain"><?php echo $heading ?></div>
06: <div class="headermenu"><?php echo $menu ?></div>
07: </div>
08: <?php } else if ($heading) {
09: // This is what gets printed on any other page with a heading
10: ?>
11: <div id="header">
12: <div class="headermain"><?php echo $heading ?></div>
13: <div class="headermenu"><?php echo $menu ?></div>
14: </div>
15: <?php } ?>
The following code example shows a part from a header file with a logo. Please replace lines 5 and 12 above with lines 5 and 12 from the code example below.
01: <?php if ($home) {
02: // This is what gets printed on the home page only
03: ?>
04: <div id="header-home">
05: <div class="headermain"><img src="<?php echo
$CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>/pix/big_logo.gif" width="300"
height="100" alt="mycompany" title="mycompany" id="logo" /></div>
06: <div class="headermenu"><?php echo $menu ?></div>
07: </div>
08: <?php } else if ($heading) {
09: // This is what gets printed on any other page with a heading
10: ?>
11: <div id="header">
12: <div class="headermain"><img src="<?php echo
$CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>/pix/small_logo.gif" width="210"
height="70" alt="mycompany" title="mycompany" id="logo" /></div>
13: <div class="headermenu"><?php echo $menu ?></div>
14: </div>
15: <?php } ?>
Moodle offers one header for all pages and a different header for the start = home page. You can for example make the header for your start page higher and place a bigger logo on it.
The logo position in the page header is defined in the CSS file "styles_layout.css". Please change the values for the CLASS ".headermain" and eventually for the IDs "#header" and "#header-home" if needed. You find the definitions in the section "header" of the CSS file.
A tip for a fast jump to the header section of the CSS file: Select and copy the word "header" in the section list at the beginning of the file. Then call find in your program and paste "header" into the search dialog. After you click "find" in your dialog your program will find the start of the header section.
