[Bug 1817809] Re: Add small logo to a theme

 

** Description changed:

  It is possible to upload a small logo via Admin menu -> Institutions ->
  Settings to each institution. However, the default themes in Mahara
  don't seem to provide the opportunity to have a small logo there per
  default, which makes it harder to theme because then no small logo could
  be uploaded via the theme.
  
  What should be possible?
  
- 1. Add a small sitelogo (as SVG file) into the raw theme and other
- themes that contain a custom theme. Logo files will be provided. That
- way, the logo would be picked up when the default themes are viewed.
+ 1. Add a small sitelogo (as SVG and PNG file) into the raw theme and
+ other themes that contain a custom theme. That way, the logo would be
+ picked up when the default themes are viewed. Logo files are provided
+ below.
  
  We have several versions of the logo to account for dark backgrounds and
  light backgrounds in the configurable theme. Some of the other themes
  might also have their own version of the logo on the site to accommodate
  the background.
  
  2. When an institution uploaded a custom logo but no custom small logo,
  do not switch to the built-in small logo as that would change the brand.
  Keep the normal uploaded logo that gets a bit smaller.
  
+ 3. Rename "Small logo" in the institution settings to "Mobile logo" to
+ make it more obvious that people should upload it. We can't force the
+ upload of a logo though. A new language string ID needs to be created so
+ that it's picked up by the translators.
+ 
  When an institution uploads a small logo that will be used instead. That
  already does work.
