    swap images in content holders

      How does one go about swapping out a default image within in the content holder for header?

       

      I actually downloaded the default 'logo@2x.png' from the preview site, and replaced their image with my own logo in Photoshop, being careful to keep the same size, format, and name, only to be unable to find the respective images folder anywhere on the site to replace the original logo with my replacement logo (I went through all the file via ftp and NO 'img' or 'images' directory was to be found).

       

      In being so stingy with the so-called site integrity, the designers have made it difficult (next to impossible) to customize their web site, so doesn't that defeat the purpose of Business Catalyst?

       

      I have forgotten the name of the BC site I imported for this, latest (and probably LAST) attempt to work with BC to come up with a site I can actually use, but it had to do with students, and  used a large black div for the header - it's the 'cultivate' logo that I am trying to replace with my own logo.

       

      How do I access the actual contents of the default content holders for the header to replace their logo with my logo?

          Problem solved...  that one anyway.

           

          Finally figured it out... after I looked at the page source and found out the location of the image I needed to swap out - bizarre placement, buried very deep -  / Root / _assets / css / images / logo@2x.png - maybe they didn't want to confuse the issue with ../../../ and use a more normal images directory.

           

          So, maybe there is 'hope' after all, but it's like pulling hen's teeth to get there using BC. Guess they assume that people who are trying to put BC to good use, know absolutely NOTHING about web design. Ignorance might be bliss for the cookie cutter sites, but some of us need more flexibility, instead of fitting the Adobe mold quite so tightly. What we need help with is the functionality, and not all of us are in the business of selling merchandise in an online store -  a theme that has been overdone, at the expense of other functionality... like enabling members to post 'paid' ads (not events or announcements).

            Hi I¹m also a little disappointed but, try to use firebug in firefox, it

            shows you where all the code,  css and images are stored.

            Hope this will help.
