HowTo add a logo to your Redmine banner¶

You can very easily add a logo to your Redmine banner by modifying your base.html.erb file.
Big thanks to Chris Miller for showing me how to accomplish this :)

Note: This has been tested using the Squeejee Theme and the Classic Theme.
Note2: if you used apache2 passenger module to install redmine,the location of redmine should be /usr/share/redmine instead of /opt/redmine

Edit your base.html.erb file¶

Example:

# nano /opt/redmine/app/views/layouts/base.html.erb

Find this line:

    <h1><%= page_header_title %></h1>

Add this line directly above:

     <img src="<%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %>/images/logo.png" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"/>

The ruby statement <%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %> will produce the relative URI for your redmine installation.

Now it should look like this:

    </div>

     <img src="<%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %>/images/logo.png" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"/>
     <h1><%= page_header_title %></h1>

    <% if display_main_menu?(@project) %>

Upload your logo¶

Example using the scp command:

# scp logo.png root@example.com:/opt/redmine/public/images

You probably should chown the uploaded logo:

# chown redmine:redmine /opt/redmine/public/images/logo.png

Restart your web server¶

Examples:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
# /etc/init.d/nginx restart
