Liferay bundle (Tomcat) comes with a default company logo for liferay.com. In this post I am going to cover 2 ways to change this logo with your own company logo/picture.
-
How to change company logo – Administrator Style
- Login to Liferay Portal with a admin user id. (The default user id is : test@liferay.com and password is: test)
- On the top toolbar go to Manage – Control Panel
- On the left navigation bar go to Settings Link in “Portal” Section. Settings page should be displayed.
- On Settings page go to “Display Settings” link in Miscellaneous section on right navigation menu.
- Click on the “Change” link and select your company logo.
- Click on the “Save” button at the right navigation menu.
- Now click on the “Back to Liferay” link on top navigation bar.
How to change company logo – Developer Style
- Overriding portal default configuration
- Copy Files in server CLASSPATH
- Restart server
Create a file with name “portal-ext.properties” with following content. If it already exists then append below line in the file. (Replace the name of image file with you company image file name.)
image.default.company.logo=company_logo.png
The property field “image.default.company.logo” is a default property which is configured in “portal.properties” file. By creating portal-ext.properties file we can override the existing values of portal config without touching the original configuration.
Copy portal-ext.properties and company logo file to below location tomcat-webappsROOTWEB-INFclasses Both of these files needs to be in server CLASSPATH to be read by the portal.
Refresh the browser window and changes should be visible on the portal home page.
