All, I can't figure out why I can't change the logo. I have read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_logo.3F and tried to make a 125x135 .png upload it and set the $wgLogo = "/var/www/wiki/images/logo.jpg"; and yet no logo at http://kalvyn.net/wiki . Any ideas appreciated. AtDhVaAnNkCsE, James T Lewis

Grant, Generally, anything you add to LocalSettings.php should be at the end. Not only makes them easy to find, but also assures that the variables on which your own lines depend have been read, or confirmed, or eaten, or whatever.

Yes! Thank you SO very much. Of the dozens of things I've tried, I never thought of that one. I knew is was something simple I was overlooking.

I've just added a corresponding (and hopefully unambiguous) line to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_logo.3F because that difference in root-directories seems to bother a lot of people. ;-) GrantPark.net schrieb: . -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Katharina Wolkwitz Fachhochschule Südwestfalen Hochschulbibliothek Haldener Straße 182 58095 Hagen Tel.: 02331/987-2706 _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Challenge: attempt to use no logo ("my site just doesn't want a logo", or "my site is for visually disabled persons who couldn't see a logo anyway".) You'll see there's no way just to put a piece of text there or whatever. Whatever you do you must at least issue a HTTP request each view. 404 Not found or not, still a waste.

D> Just edit skins/Monobook.php and delete the See, one cannot just do $wgLogo=false in LocalSettings.php as the software never expected one not wanting a logo.
