Replacing django-admin's bootstrap theme's default logo

Question

I have generated a django-admin for my app and I can access the dashboard. But it contains a logo that says "django admin". I want to change it to my own custom logo. How can I do that?

I have tried adding a base.html file to admin directory and tried to override but for some reason it's not working. It's code is as follows:

{% extends "admin/base.html" %}
{% load theming_tags %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block blockbots %}
    {{ block.super }}
    {# Using blockbots ensures theming css comes after any form media and other css #}
    {% render_theming_css %}
    <style type="text/css">
    #header #branding h1 {
        background-image: url("bootstrap_admin/img/logo-140x60.png");
    }
    </style>
{% endblock %}

{% block branding %}
<a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}" class="django-admin-logo">
    <!-- Django Administration -->
    <img src="{% static "bootstrap_admin/img/logo-140x60.png" %}" alt="{{ site_header|default:_('Django Admin') }}">
</a>
{% endblock branding %}

I want to change the logo in the top-left corner. How can I achieve what I'm trying to?

Answer 1

your question is answered here

"{% static "bootstrap_admin/img/logo-140x60.png" %}" this comes from here

django-admin-bootstrap/bootstrap_admin/static/bootstrap_admi‌​n/img/logo-140x60.pn‌​g

after replacing you need to run command python manage.py collectstaticthen this will work

The official way to achieve that is:
You need to override the default templates provided by Django. In your Django settings, your code:: TEMPLATES setting looks like this.

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},
]

This means that Django will look for templates in a directory called templates inside each app, but you can override that by setting a value for TEMPLATES.DIRS.

We change the 'DIRS': [], to 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates/')], and create the templates folder. If your STATICFILES_DIRS is empty set it to:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
]

Now create a file called base_site.html from the admin app to templates\admin folder you just created. Add the code in it:

{% extends "admin/base.html" %}

{% load staticfiles %}

{% block title %}{{ title }} | {{ site_title|default:_('Django site admin') }}{% 
endblock %}

{% block branding %}
<h1 id="site-name">
<a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">
    <img src="{% static 'Your image.png' %}" height="40px" />
</a>
 </h1>
 {% endblock %}

 {% block nav-global %}{% endblock %}
