I like the fact that the capability has been added to put the logo in the community toolbar. A couple of issues though that need improving in order to successfully use the logo in the module toolbar:

  • If the logo is in the module, you probably don't want you logo right below in the Logo position on the template. If you remove the Logo image from the template, you still get a big blank spot even though you don't have anything in the Logo or head-search positions. If these positions are blank on the socialize template, that area should shrink.
  • On the mobile responsive site, the logo in the module does not appear at all so you have no site branding at all at the top on your mobile site. My preferred solution for that would be to put the logo in the gray area where the menu icon is since that just seems to be wasted space at the top of every mobile page.

Hi, Steve.

1. I have quick fix for this:

Edit this file ROOT/templates/socialize/tpls/blocks/header-jb.php in line 21, replace this:

<!-- HEADER -->
<header id="t3-header" class="t3-header">
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">

      <!-- LOGO -->
      <div class="span8 logo">
        <div class="logo-<?php echo $logotype ?>">
          <h1>
            <a href="<?php echo JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($sitename) ?>">
              <?php echo $logoimage ?>
              <span><?php echo $sitename ?></span>
            </a>
            <small class="site-slogan hidden-phone"><?php echo $slogan ?></small>
          </h1>
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- //LOGO -->

      <?php if ($this->countModules('head-search')) : ?>
      <!-- HEAD SEARCH -->
      <div class="span4 head-search<?php $this->_c('head-search')?>">     
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('head-search') ?>" style="raw" />
      </div>
      <!-- //HEAD SEARCH -->
      <?php endif ?>

    </div>
  </div>
</header>
<!-- //HEADER -->

with this:
<?php if($logoimage != null) { ?>
<!-- HEADER -->
<header id="t3-header" class="t3-header">
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">

      <!-- LOGO -->
      <div class="span8 logo">
        <div class="logo-<?php echo $logotype ?>">
          <h1>
            <a href="<?php echo JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($sitename) ?>">
              <?php echo $logoimage ?>
              <span><?php echo $sitename ?></span>
            </a>
            <small class="site-slogan hidden-phone"><?php echo $slogan ?></small>
          </h1>
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- //LOGO -->

      <?php if ($this->countModules('head-search')) : ?>
      <!-- HEAD SEARCH -->
      <div class="span4 head-search<?php $this->_c('head-search')?>">     
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('head-search') ?>" style="raw" />
      </div>
      <!-- //HEAD SEARCH -->
      <?php endif ?>

    </div>
  </div>
</header>
<!-- //HEADER -->
<?php } ?>

Now when image is not set then header will be not displayed. So no gap in this place :)

2. No, logo is visible very good. Take look here: www.responsinator.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhashspace2.com%2F and on screen shot I've made on your site.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

For #2, the logo is only showing because I removed it from the community toolbar module and added it back to the main socialize template. If it is only in the community toolbar module, the mobile site would show no logo (see attached).

Hi, Steve.

You answered yourself :) Logo should be added in template manager.
If you add it to module then it will be not visible as some parts of module are hidden in mobile view.
it is designed to work that way.

The whole point of adding the logo to the community module was so that we could remove it from the socialize template logo position and save all that space that is being wasted for the logo ( www.jomsocial.com/forum/community-discus...o-move-logo-position ). It doesn't make any sense to have the logo in the community toolbar and in the socialize template logo position as then you have two logos at the top of your regular desktop view.

Hi, Steve.

Ok, then log in and see what happens to position where you want to add your logo (you posting view for guests... but what about registered users?).

This position is for displaying communication icons.

It was designed that way... but if you'll have suggestion - feel free to post them here: uservoice.jomsocial.com/forums/101561-feature-request

It doesn't appear on the main page for registered or guests but I did finally realize where the logo was being placed. It is showing up on the drop down menu.

I'll post my suggestion on user voice as I don't think it makes sense to hide the logo on the off canvas menu.

Thanks.
