replace alfresco share 4.2 login screen logo

[ayubalfresco]

In Alfresco share 4.2 enterprise, I want to just replace the default logo from alfresco share login page. Below blog shows how to create a custom login screen.

However I do not want to create a complete new login page, just want to replace the logo with the same default theme. Could some one suggest how to replace the logo using extensions option.

Just for the logo change go and replace the file - http://localhost:8080/share/res/components/images/alfresco-share-logo-enterprise.png [i.e. tomcat\webapps\share\components\images\alfresco-share-logo-enterprise.png on filesystem]

Hi Sujay,

Its not recommended to modify the core files. Extensions is the way to go with Alfresco Share 4.2

Please look at the below post which mentions how to add custom css file.

I used the same approach and then overriden the css class to replace the login logo

.theme-company-logo
{
   height: 48px;
   width: 428px;
   background: transparent url(../images/myshare-logo.png) no-repeat;
}

The other small flower logo of Alfresco can be replaced from the admin console. Hope this helps others.

Thanks
Ayub
