[Koha] Replacing existing images in Koha with our own

[library at ssst.edu.ba]

Thank you, David, I had just tried this literally a few minutes ago! However I got several errors (expecting an RBRACE) that I didn't know how to fix. I ended up right-click > inspect page source, and using this snippet of code: 

#logo {
    background: transparent url(https://i.imgur.com/Cbn0f69.png) no-repeat scroll 0;
    float: left!important;
    padding: 0;
}

Unlike with the login image replacement, imgur did not add a pale overlay on top of the white Koha logo (I changed the background of the OPAC to a gradient from blue to red, which are our university colors so the green logo was clashing). I will continue to study the instructions over the weekend - I should have gone home two hours ago! 

Best regards

Aida Đikić

Aida, there is another method that can be used, which is similar to what is described here:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/HTML_%26_CSS_Library#Change_logo_and_background_color_of_masthead.
You would be using the system preference IntranetUserCss perhaps together with StaffLoginInstructions to achieve your end result.

That's the method that our system uses. It doesn't change the fact that permissions and links need to be correct, and it doesn't change the possibility that files placed in the htdocs directory may be overwritten. One advantage that I can think of over the method you found is this: by defining the logo in IntranetUserCSS, the field StaffLoginInstructions is left free for instructions and messages only. Separating the two could reduce confusion and mistakes.

When I tried using it to copy the image to /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs nothing happened, so I asked one of our IT staff to install Filezilla for me so that I can at least move the files to these locations. I proceeded with the instructions and pasted the code to the StaffLoginInstructions, changed the IP: http://127.0.1.1 with our Koha OPAC IP but there's just a broken image where the logo is supposed to be. How in the world are others making these changes?
