Just installed a new install of Composr. Downloaded the quick installer. Everythiing went well. A refreshing experience after my problems with Softaculous lately.

But after using the setup wizard, I opened up the site. Still a positive experience. First thing I want to do is change the default composr logo with my own logo. So I try but I run into an error which produced a stack trace. any idea what I need to do to proceed?

Here it is:

An error has occurred

The uploaded file (Logo_Website_Blue_Baby_115x980.png) could not be moved to its target destination (themes/default/images_custom/logo/logo/-logo.png) (version: 10.0.43, PHP version: 7.4.30, URL: /adminzone/index.php?page=admin-themes&type=_edit_image&keep_fatalistic=1&uploading=1)

Here is the stack trace:

Below is a stack trace revealing the state Composr was in when the error occurred. If this represents a bug in the unmodified software, you may want to check Composr website for a fix, and if there isn't one, report this as a bug. Please note that merely posting a stack trace is not sufficient for us to solve your problem; the stack trace is just an aid that presents us with additional information. We still need to know the error message, what you tried to do, how you tried to do it, version numbers, and any other appropriate information.
We apologise for this problem and if it's a bug we hope you will work with us so that we can fix it for you promptly.

Parameters

I have tried a few things and still have not gotten over step one in replacing the default logo with my own logo.

Not being able to achieve this with what once was a convenient and easy process I have tried to FTP the new logo directly into the *themes/mythemename/images/EN/logo/ * directory. That didn't work. So I changed the name of the logo to match the default logo. That didn't work either. I tried using the Manage Themes tools to edit theme image(s). This way of editing the logos in the directory showed my custom logo was there - and I selected my logo and saved my selection. I got the "your action was successful " message. Even when I went to the "edit this theme image" it took my to my custom image! See attached image.

But when I click home and look for the logo change, it is no different with the default logo still there. See attached image.

Yes, I even used the cleanup tools for theme images but no changes

Hi,

You seem to be using a custom theme, so perhaps adding the logo the custom theme may solve this if you haven't done so already. Perhaps the change is only applied to the default theme currently?

I have come to the end of all I know to do with the exception of deleting all default logos (maybe that's the next thing to try?). Here are screenshots to illustrate what is going on.


First you can see where the LOGO is on the server… /themes/Dark_lightgray/images/EN/logo/-logo.png




Then I go to FTP and see what the logo called "-logo.png" looks like by using the VIEW option…





So just incase there might be something else affecting my new logo being blocked from appearing, I go to THEMES and look at my new theme (Dark_lightgray) and pick logo. Just to make sure the uploaded logo is the one designated to be used is select that logo and save it. I get the succesful action message.





Not to miss doing the same to the DEFAULT theme I choose my uploaded LOGO (which has a different name - and is not indicated on the inspection shown in the first screenshot) and save it, getting a success message. but in the end nothing has changed and Composr refuses to regard any of the paths taken to get my LOGO pasted across the top of my page.






So then, I'm left with the questions… is there something wrong with Composr, or my server, or some settings, or what? Is there the hope of help in solving this issue? I will add, this has not been a pleasant path, as in my previous use of ocPortal products.

Hello,

My apologies for this bug and the delay getting a fix.

The fix is in 0004741: More sensible adding of new theme images - Composr CMS feature tracker
The adminzone/pages/modules/admin_themes.php just needs replacing from the one in the hot-fix.
Or if prefer, you can just grab the same file from here:
https://gitlab.com/composr-foundation/composr/-/raw/f61acf45c1b05a516c715855b17001df81b08059/adminzone/pages/modules/admin_themes.php

Thank you for your detailed posts. I'll try and step through what you said with some explanation as to what happened with what you tried…

1) Uploading to themes/mythemename/images/EN/logo/ with the same filename as the default logo (-logo.png or -logo.jpg) should work in principle. You need to empty the "Theme images" cache from Admin Zone > Tools > website cleanup tools too. Composr won't search for theme images on every page view, it relies on the cache for performance. I know you said you tried that, perhaps you didn't get the dash right or something.

2) Any file with a new name not corresponding to a current theme image will be picked up in the system as a new theme image. So you will see them for editing, but they are a new theme image with no relation whatsoever with any other theme image. Re-saving won't change this.

3) It looks like you maybe also had an issue with the browser caching the file (I saw you downloaded it and it didn't match what you saw on the site). That's unusual. Some webhosts do add aggressive caching to their server configuration.

Cool logo btw.

Scroll down to the comment by Admin. Download the TAR file. Extract it into your Composr installation, replacing files from the TAR over your current files.
