[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Problem with adding logo

[Kevin Clair]

Hi Mark,

Did you point the <img> link in _branding.html.erb to your logo image? That may be the problem. Our _branding.html.erb file reads like this, for example:

<div class="container branding">
    <img src="/assets/images/UniversityOfDenver-Signature.png"/>
</div>

With the results visible at http://duarchives.coalliance.org.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Problem with adding logo

All,

I am trying to add our logo to the top of our ArchivesSpace instance and
am thoroughly confused!  I am using these directions:

(This is from the "Customizing and Theming ArchivesSpace" doc on the
Website...)

First off, I do not have a /layouts/ directory anywhere in my
ArchivesSpace directory tree.

More, I did not have a /plugins/local/public/assets/images/my_archive/
directory, so I created one.  Still more, I did not have a
/plugins/local/public/views/site/ directory so I created one.

I then put my logo.png file in
/plugins/local/public/assets/images/my_archive/.

I then put my _branding.html.erb file in
/plugins/local/public/views/site/.  (I'm assuming that underscore
character at the beginning of _branding.html.erb is crucially significant.)

I chown'ed and chgrp'ed these directory trees and the files in them.
All is well.

I rebooted my ArchivesSpace instance and waited for the moment when I
would spin in my chair in triumphant glee.

No joy!  Same ArchivesSpace logo at top.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Advice much appreciated.

Mark
