General settings allows you to configure the logo, fonts, layouts and also allow you to configure other basic requirements for a site.

Basic Options

Under basic options you can configure the logo, fonts, Google Analytics script etc.

Logo Settings

Logo - General

You can set your desired logo image for the template from root/images directory in this field.

Logo - Tablet

If you want to have a different logo for tablet browsers then you can set your desired logo image here. This field is optional.

Logo - Mobile

If you want to have a different logo for mobile browsers then you can set your desired logo image here. This field is optional.

Logo Alt Title

Set alt attribute for the logo image. If empty, site name from Joomla Global Configuration is used.

Language Specific Logo

VP Framework allows you to have separate logo images for each languages in a multilingual site. To explain this feature let us assume the following:

1. We have a multilingual website running two languages English (en-GB) and German (de-DE).
2. English is set as the default language for the site.
3. root/images/logo.png is set as Logo - General in the template settings which is presently displayed for both the languages.

Considering above you can now have a separate logo image for German (de-DE). For that you need first name/rename the new logo image as {existing image name}{dash}{language tag}{dot}{existing image extension} i.e. logo-de-de.png. Please remember the language tag suffix must in lower case. Now upload this image at the same directory where the existing logo image is located i.e. root/images/logo-de-de.png That's it. The existing image is considered as the default logo for your default language - English and the new logo image will be displayed for German. Similarly you can also set different logo images for Logo - Tablet and Logo - Mobile
