Hello Fred, Thanks for continuing to look into this. I did finally manage to get an image to show up but had to convert the .svg file our devs use for the logo to a .png so I could upload it to an outside service. I'd prefer to use internal file links, and I'll try those commands soon. I wonder if it's possible to upload a file within the Koha librarian interface, and then use direct links to them???
(There's also an interesting piece of footer customization here: https://koharesourcepoint.wordpress.com/2021/02/23/how-to-create-mobile-responsive-footer-in-koha-opac/ It looks like something I could adapt for some additional links and a photo of the library or a shelving location diagram.)

I have dinner to cook. When last we met, I had figured out how to make pictures and other files easily accessible from Koha by putting them in /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs. That would make them directly available as, for example, http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/nap_time.png That had the disadvantage of being in the same folder structure as the Koha program files. If you don't want them there, you can create a symbolic link to, for example, /var/www/html. From the Ubuntu command line, type ln -s /var/www/html /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs Then you can link to a file in a folder not in the Koha folder structure. For example, to display the file /var/www/html/fred_king_mla.png the web address is http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/html/fred_king_mla.png This works for PDF files as well. Probably pretty much any file type, but I've just tried those two. What I haven't figured out is how to get the /html out of the address. Linking to /var/www doesn't work. However, that's a very minor complication that I don't really care about. Comments and suggestions welcome, especially if I've gotten something wrong. Especially that.

Hello Fred - I will have to do something, but I'll leave it for later :) It looks like you succeeded - I only see the one image!

As a workaround, you could try putting the images on a different server and linking to them. Take a look at cheerfulvalleypl.online. The image of the library is on http://dokument.space/cvl_library_300.jpg. If you see any other pictures, it means I may have figured something out but I'm going to work on it next week.

Thank you, David, I had just tried this literally a few minutes ago! However I got several errors (expecting an RBRACE) that I didn't know how to fix. I ended up right-click > inspect page source, and using this snippet of code: #logo { background: transparent url(https://i.imgur.com/Cbn0f69.png) no-repeat scroll 0; float: left!important; padding: 0; } Unlike with the login image replacement, imgur did not add a pale overlay on top of the white Koha logo (I changed the background of the OPAC to a gradient from blue to red, which are our university colors so the green logo was clashing). I will continue to study the instructions over the weekend - I should have gone home two hours ago!

You would be using the system preference IntranetUserCss perhaps together with StaffLoginInstructions to achieve your end result. That's the method that our system uses. It doesn't change the fact that permissions and links need to be correct, and it doesn't change the possibility that files placed in the htdocs directory may be overwritten. One advantage that I can think of over the method you found is this: by defining the logo in IntranetUserCSS, the field StaffLoginInstructions is left free for instructions and messages only. Separating the two could reduce confusion and mistakes.
