Displaying different logos for each language

Theme settings may work differently to regular variables, I've just added some notes here, http://drupal.org/node/313272

Let me know whether it is some help.

To clarify Bsimon's very useful clarification. You need to add both 'theme_XXXXXX_settings' AND 'logo_path' to your settings.php as described in http://drupal.org/node/313272 ( where XXXXXX is the themename in lowercase ). You can then switch languages on the themes settings page and enter a different logo path for each language. Job done.

Hope this helps.

I would like to confirm that this works as Daves describes.

It's easy and logical.

After entering paths for different logos, the logo change happens only after I visit theme settings page each time... Any ideas? Even clearing all caches won't work...

I'm having a similar issue - can't seem to get the second language logo to work, and would be grateful for any advice you might have. Using 6.18, chameleon theme (although I have replicated the problem with garland) and english(default)/french setup.

I've followed the steps above, adding the multilingual variables 'logo_path' and 'theme_chameleon_settings'. In admin/build/theme/settings/chameleon, I am able to see "this is a multilingual variable" next to the path to custom logo field. When I change the path in the english interface, it registers fine, but specifying any path (even the same one) in the french interface makes the logo disappear (gone from the source code as well), even when I switch back to the default language. I can only make the logo reappear if I switch back to english and re-save. I've tried putting the logo images in different directories, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Suggestions?

I have the same issue as gyunei on 6.19 with sub-theme of Zen and Czech / English setup.

I enable multilingual setup as suggested in earlier post. Then I switch to English which is seconadary language and navigate to Theme settings. After uploading or just setting path to english logo, logo disappears (from both languages). Back in Czech language and theme setting I can set the former logo back.

Any ideas?

Same issue as in the two previous comments by gyunei and abs. I checked the right variable name in the MySQL DB, which is 'theme_TheThemeName_settings' and added it with 'logo_path' to the settings.php. Other language variables ('site_frontpage') are working on my site, except this one...

EDIT:
There is a workaround i found here: http://drupal.org/node/295468#comment-978730
Surely not the way it should work, but it fixes the problem until a solution is found.

I confirm this behavior (logo disappears after setting path for second language).

Workaround pointed out by #10 is a good tip and works perfectly, but of course, this problem should be properly fixed at some point.

This is a solution that worked for me: http://drupal.org/node/313272#comment-4039288

It requires to use different values in settings.php then described in different documentation.

Hope that helps

as per http://drupal.org/node/313272#comment-4039288
you should not add logo_path or theme_settings
because when entering logo of second language both logos dissapear

problem is that "This is a multilingual variable" does not appear below the variable and its confusing
thus this is still a valid issue that needs addressing

EDIT: spoke too soon seems that it does not work with subtheme of fusion

EDIT2: I ended up using

function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
  $logo = $variables["language"]->language.".png"; 
  $variables['logo'] = str_replace("en.png", $logo, $variables['logo']);    //replace en.png with LANG.png
}

@GiorgosK - could you tell me where exactly you place this code from #13?

In your theme's template.php file

Feel free to add your solutions to the module's documentation pages.

I18n Logo module seems to have "fixed" this problem: http://drupal.org/project/i18nlogo

#13
is this code work with ver 7.x ?

#18
in D7:

function THEMENAME_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $lang_code = $vars['language']->language;
  // replace logo.png with LANG_logo.png
  $vars['logo'] = str_replace('logo.png', $lang_code . '_logo.png', $vars['logo']);
}
