Hi people,

As more and more devices move towards 300+ ppi screens (currently the iPhone 4, 4S, iPad 3, Retina Macbook Pro and surely quite a few Android devices), I think it's time to think about updating the framework to support SVG images, first and foremost for logos, which of course are always important that they are neatly presented.

The way I go about using SVG images at the moment in Joomla is creating a Custom HTML module, and entering
and then loading that module using loadposition.

This of course is pretty cumbersome compared to just inserting an image as per normal. I'm not sure how far the framework extends with regards to the possibilites of enabling this, but well, every site will have a logo which usually is in vector format to begin with, so I think many people would appreciate svg logo support.

Thanks and keep up the good & beautiful work guys.

PS. Do you have any good ideas for using svg images for logos with the current Zengrid framework? DS.

Hi there,

Thanks for the idea and Ive added it to the feature list for a future update.


Basically you can do a layout override for the logo by grabbing the file located at:

plugins/system/zengridframework/assets/layout/logo.php

You can see how we implement the logo file there so I imagine it will just be a matter of using your code like this:

I dont think the Joomla 2.5 media element can load an svg file (might be able to) but if it can't you can just hard code the src path to your svg file and that should do it for you.

Hope that helps and thanks for the feedback.
