Hi,

why so complicated? Restore the original template-blocks
and add something like this to your template.less:

.t3-mainnav .navbar-inner {

    margin-left: 100px; // Should be the width of your logo

    background: transparent url('/the/path/to/your/logo') no-repeat 0 0;

}

Please note that I have not tested this - just an idea

If you want all the seo bling bling, have a look at the block 'header.php'.
There you can see how to get the needed data that is currently missing
in your block.

Best regards,

Olli

Hi Louw!

you are echoing parameters ($logotype, $sitename, etc) that you didn't declare before... so, the logo will never be displayed, just because are empty values...

To see your logo, you must include the $logoimage = $this->params->get('logoimage')... etc, thing....

However... some problems could appear... The div="span2" is declared inside the "span12" so, to me, that should never work up...

I hope it helps!

Thanks Daniel and Oliver for the advice. I will see what I can figure out with what you wrote. I really appreciate you writing back and I hope you have a good day.

Hi Louw,
Did you have any luck? I'm trying to do the same thing and I tried Oliver's suggestions and my logo is now behind my menu items instead of being to the left of it. I'm still working. WIll post a result if I get it but just thought I'd check...

Thanks!

i have the same issue. first i added the logo file as an image file in the mainnav file. worked fine. but it does not offer the comfort of doing it from the backend and also use small logo image for smaller screens. so i tried to copy the code from the head, that shows the logo to the mainnav file. i also included the defines, that were missing in the above code.

it did not work out. here is the code. any ideas?
i also tried to get rid of the part that calls the headsearch, because i don't need that part. i also tried to change the size.
