$assetLogoPath

There's some new code in the six theme header.tpl in WHMCS 7.2:

       {if $assetLogoPath}
           <a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/index.php" class="logo"><img src="{$assetLogoPath}" alt="{$companyname}"></a>
       {else}
           <a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/index.php" class="logo logo-text">{$companyname}</a>
       {/if}

Can anyone advise where $assetLogoPath is defined? I can't seem to find a way to set this / upload a logo in WHMCS admin. Specifying the logo option in WHMCS admin does not seem to change this, it only affects the logo used in email messages.

Hi Chris,

There's some new code in the six theme header.tpl in WHMCS 7.2:

I don't think it is defined and could see no mention of it in the documentation...

however, logically you could define it using an action hook...

<?php

# Define $assetLogoPath 
# Written by brian!

function custom_base_img_path_hook($vars) 
{
   return array("assetLogoPath" => $vars['BASE_PATH_IMG']."/whmcs.png");
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPage", 1, "custom_base_img_path_hook");
?>

then it should just be a case of tweaking the path to the correct logo in the hook.

Of course it is describe in the documentation.

http://docs.whmcs.com/Version_6.0_Release_Notes#New_Location_for_Custom_Logo_Files

If you have once of these files:

/assets/img/logo.png

/assets/img/logo.jpg

$assetLogoPath is set.

Of course it is describe in the documentation.

http://docs.whmcs.com/Version_6.0_Release_Notes#New_Location_for_Custom_Logo_Files

good spot - but the hook is still valid if you want to use a different directory.

That's exactly right.

 

The $assetLogoPath will be set with the path to one of those two logo image files, whichever exists. If neither does, it won't be set, and your company name will be displayed instead.

Had me puzzled for a while... thanks for the info on this as i previously couldn't find anything about it

seems a bit counterproductive this setting that has been added for this because if your using a custom template, which is recommended then i would have thought it should be looking by default for the image in the images folder of that template, not in the assets folder... or it should use the one defined in the admin settings function?

This doesn't seem to be working in 8.8.0 - any suggestions?

What do you mean it's not working? $assetLogoPath still works 😄

You will have to have a file called /assets/img/logo.png or /assets/img/logo.jpg before the variable has a value.

Sorry, I was referring to the hook.  I came from another post - this was the original.

I just tested the hook and it works fine here.

Are you sure you installed the hook correctly?

I put the code into a php file and uploaded it to the hooks directory, tried putting the logo file in /assets/img/logo.svg and in the hooks folder but nothing worked, should I be doing something else?

If you didn't modify the hook, the logo needs to be called /assets/img/whmcs.png.

I changed it to logo.svg and uploaded the logo.svg file in the root, hooks and /assets/imgs/ folder, it didn't work for me.  Not sure if I removed the other logo files when testing.

Managed to get a HQ PNG sorted out so the crisis is averted! 🥳

That's because you're uploading it to the wrong directory. The hook goes inside /includes/hooks/.
The logo.svg needs to be in /assets/img/.

All paths are relative to the WHMCS root directory.

Oh.... /includes/hooks - I've been putting them in /hooks 🤦‍♂️

Thanks!
