Adding image to header in Robohelp 2017

  • May 3, 2017

In RH2017 (13.0.0.257), Responsive HTML5 layout, is it possible to add an image to the header? I have the logo and the project title on the left and want to add the company logo to the right, and link the logo to the home page of our website. (I added the Globalscape logo to the image below as an example of what I want to do.)

I've played around with layout.css and Topic.slp, to no avail.

Thanks,

Karla Marsh

Well, bummer. If you guys don't know, there's no hope for me! What I have is satisfactory EFT™ v7.3.x.


The template you downloaded is based on an Adobe Template for RH11. This one isn't much different. But you'll need a slightly different CSS.

The following works:

@media screen and (min-width: 81em) div.header {
  1.    background-image: url(https://image.freepik.com/free-icon/apple-logo_318-40184.jpg);
  2.    background-repeat: no-repeat;
  3.    background-position: right center;
  4.    background-size: contain;

}

The other devices are similar. There are 4 media queries if I remember correctly. But the CSS should carry over.

Hi, sorry, MDennetti--been busy at work!

What I did was download Willam van Weelden's "Theme1_Standar_TOC_Only" and I edited the CSS named main.css to add/edit this section:

@media screen and (min-width: 81em) div.header {

   background-image: url(https://image.freepik.com/free-icon/apple-logo_318-40184.jpg);

   background-repeat: no-repeat;

   background-position: right center;

   background-size: contain;

}

Obviously, the image would have be swapped out and I change contain to auto.

If you're not using that CSS, he originally sent me a different fix:

div.header {

            background-image: url('logo_test.png');

            background-repeat: no-repeat;

            background-position: right center;

}

If none of that works, make backups off EVERYTHING you want to edit, the play with different stuff in CSS until you get what you want--if you have time. Then report your findings to the rest of us!

Willam advised me the second piece of code you quote needs a small

correction but I can't access that until next week.

I'd appreciate it if you could send me that please. Perhaps this will add some spacing to right side of the image. At the moment the image is hard against the right side of the header. Best wishes,

Mark

I can't help you with right aligning the company image, if it is possible then Willam is the person for that.

I wonder if creating a single image combining the product logo and company logo top left would work?

Which layout are you using?

You can add a background image to the header with CSS:

div.header {

   background-image: url('my_image.png');

   background-repeat: no-repeat;

  background-position: right center;

}

I'm using your Theme1_Standard_TOC_Only, added the text above to main.css, change the file name to the name of the graphic I'm using, pasted it into the same folder, generated the help---nothing.
