Make Logo background transparent..I can't get it to work!

[huntleybill]

I would like to make the logo transparent so you see the water and not a white box! I have created several logos in Word, Gimp, online, and others. I have configured ALL of then to have a transparent background but when I upload them for the site logo, they always have a white background. I was hoping to get white letters with the water in the background. 

 

I have tried making the logo in jpeg, gif, and png with no success.

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thank you

PrestaShop doesn't support transparent logos, so you'll need to modify header.tpl to do it. Change line 107 (in PrestaShop v1.6.1.7) of themes/<your_theme>/header.tpl from:

										<img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$logo_url}" alt="{$shop_name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"{if isset($logo_image_width) && $logo_image_width} width="{$logo_image_width}"{/if}{if isset($logo_image_height) && $logo_image_height} height="{$logo_image_height}"{/if}/>

to:

										<img class="logo img-responsive" src="{*{$logo_url}*}{$img_ps_dir}logo.png" alt="{$shop_name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"{*{if isset($logo_image_width) && $logo_image_width} width="{$logo_image_width}"{/if}{if isset($logo_image_height) && $logo_image_height} height="{$logo_image_height}"{/if}*}/>

You can then save your transparent PNG to img/logo.png on your server. It's also a good idea to add width= and height= values in the above code to match the size of your image, though it should still work without them.

Hi,

 

Current, your logo has background white. You need to create a logo with type png and background transparent.

OK...I changed line 107 and pasted in the string you provided. I then went to preferences --> themes and uploaded the .png file. Now I get a white box with a "?" in it.

I must have goofed somewhere. What am I missing?

 

The logo that is displayed was made in Word. When I created it, I formatted the file to have a transparent background.

Hi.

This module allows you to upload GIF image file for product and logo.

Probably better not to use the Prestashop upload. If you upload it yourself to the img directory and link to it Prestashop cannot change it.

Thank you Rocky Thank you all.
