Blacklight logo cannot be over-ridden

Component/s:

None

Affects Version/s:

2.3

Fix Version/s:

2.4

Environment:

Red Hat Linux

Description

« Hide

In 2.3 the pretty 'Blacklight' logo comes from /blacklight/rails/public/plugin_assets/blacklight/images/logo.png This is not over-ridden by a local logo at /blacklight/rails/public/images/logo.png. Further if the Blacklight logo is replaced in the plugin_assets structure with a local one this gets over-written at each restart.

Jessie -

Do we have this problem? If not, can you document how to avoid Richard's issue in the appropriate README, and/or fix it in the plugin?

The engines infrastructure doesn't really accommodate overriding images, stylesheets, or javascripts. It's main focus is on modules, classes, methods, and views. We have our own visual design so we just have or own logo in the public/images directory and point to that logo in our _header.html.erb partial. The main problem is that the person creating the app could technically create any number of directories called whatever they want under public to house their images. So we can't necessarily guarantee the exact location of an image. If anybody wants this in the plugin I would be more than happy to write in the facility as long as there was an agreed upon location for this image. I just don't know if the rest of the community wants to get this granular with the visual design in respects to other top priorities.

Also, this is correct that every time the app is restarted the plugin assests are reloaded. This is so that if anything changes in the plugin, it will be brought up to the app level on the subsequent restart.

This feels out of scope. We'll address this in the customizing your local version docs.
