[Koha] Replacing existing images in Koha with our own

[David Liddle]

Hi all, this topic fits in decently with a bug (enhancement request) I
just submitted about the koha-dump command, in which it does not
include files in the htdocs paths -- the very ones that the Aida is
working with. See
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33115

Perhaps it would be good to have a directory set up by koha-create
that is optimal for such files, in that it is accessible from the
staff interface (by appropriate roles) and has the right permissions
for use by the web server. This directory would not be overwritten by
upgrades, and it would be included in the koha-dump and koha-restore
routines. I'm afraid that I don't have a particular path to propose,
but I suspect that those who deal with the Koha files served to the
web might have a good idea.

Anyway ...

Aida, I suspect that the file permissions and ownership may not be
correct for that image you're using. Filezilla will show you this
information, which you can compare to the files that work. Or, you
might need to specify the URL in the preferences with the domain name
and not the IP address. With respect to permissions and ownership, if
you're in a terminal giving commands, then you might enter something
like this:
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/logo.jpg
sudo chown root:root /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/logo.jpg
These would produce results consistent with the file unavailable.html
that is included with Koha and displayed in maintenance mode.

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?
