Hello,

I have a SVG file with the logo that I want to use but the image chooser in the store config don't even show me SVG files.

Anyone was able to do this successfully?

Hi distante,

the image class (see under "/system/library/image.php") is set to use the following files only:
- .gif
- .png
- .jpeg/jpg

You'd have to modify some of the functions there to enable SVG. It might be easier to just convert the file to one of those formats.

i did not know svg files until reading this post, and did some investigation.
svg files do have a lot of advantages compared to other formats.

smaller, fully scaleble, easyer to optimize, printable in big sizes without losing quality.
all very interesting specially for big product pictures and documents.

nice project for near future incoorporating this facility

I did a workaround, uploaded as logo a transparent x.png file, then in my css file create/modify "header h1 a" class with:

Code: Select all

header h1 a {
background: url(YOURLOGOURL/logo.svg) 0 0 no-repeat !important;
}
and that did the trick, hope this helps to anybody who needs it :crazy:
