Changing the logo in rails_admin

I'm loving the rails_admin plugin from https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin but I cant for the life of me get my custom logo to replace the installed one.

Anyone have any insight as to how to achieve this? I've tried o开发者_如何转开发verriding the css and rails_admin directory/fil structure but it doesnt pick my changes up.

Anyone got any insight as to how to get this resolved?

if you want to do this now, there is a supported method - just override the title partial by creating a file at app/views/rails_admin/main/_title.html.erb (or .haml or whatever).

Mine for instance contains:

%h1.title
  = link_to rails_admin_dashboard_path do
    = image_tag "design/admin_logo.png"

I suppose you just change the logo to put your logo in this place in your application :

public/images/rails_admin/logo.png

I don't know if this is right and if rails_admin author wants you too, but a dirty method is to go into your rails_admin gem and rename (or delete) assets folders so Rails don't find the Rack assets so it fallbacks on Rails ones that you've copied through :

rake admin:copy_assets

Then you just have to modify the ones in your app public directory.

I know it's kind of a hack and you'll have to do it again if you update the gem. And again, I don't know if it's a good advise since I don't know Rails Admin author's policy.

You can copy the /app/views/layouts/rails_admin folder, located in the gem installation folder (bundle show rails_admin), into your project's app/views/layouts folder. Then you can modify the _header.html.erb partial, on the line:

span class="image_replacement"><%= @plugin_name %>

Hope this helps

Another way to do this would be:

before_filter :if => Proc.new{ |c| c.request.path =~ /admin/ } do 
  @head_stylesheet_paths = ['admin_screen.css'] 
end

Then you override the image_replacement class with a bang important.

.image_replacement{
  background-image:url(...) !important; 
}

After digging around and asking on the rails_admin google group it appears that this functionality is not supported at the moment.

Replacing

public/images/rails_admin/logo.png

Should work as long as you also did this:

rake admin:copy_assets

As part of your install.

You can do it extremely easily with pure scss. Sometimes the simplest thing that could work will work :)

.navbar-inner {
  background-image: image_url('logo.png');
  background-size: auto $navbar-height; // put your own sizes here
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.brand {
  display: none !important; //get rid of the text
}
