Topic: Make Banner image a link to Home page?

[peps1]

Hey guys wanted to make my banner a button to link back to the forum home page.

thought I could just hop into indext.template and link it, but cant even find my banner in indext.template, let alone edit it   

[bigguy]

I did this to one of my templates. Let me see if I can find it.

[bigguy]

Have you searched the forum at all yet.

[peps1]

Yes and all I could find was this guide

Chad if you want to give it a go editing it yourself.

Download the index.template.php to your PC open with an editor like notepad++ or php designer

Find

:

<a title="" href="http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?action=forum"><span id="logo"> </span></a>

Edit

:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?action=forum

Make the link whatever you wish to be directed to.

But I could not find the first bit of code to edit.......so thought Id ask here and attache my index.template.php 

[bigguy]

Search for this in the index.template.php:

<a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe'])

Edit like so:

<a href="yourfullwebsiteaddressurl">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe'])

Thats no in there.......  

[bigguy]

Let me take another look.

[peps1]

thank you, and sorry for being such a pain!

[bigguy]

Can you link me to your site please. Your not a pain. This is what we are here for.

[peps1]

Our site

[bigguy]

Make a backup of the original index.template.php file and put this in. Before you do that though. Find line 194 in the file and fill in the "link to site" and the "link to banner". If it does not work delete this one and put the original back. It should work though.

[peps1]

   yes thats worked........but iv not got the blue gradient fade in the back ground now, can I get that back some how? (or just block color would be fine?)


ooooh and can i center it too? 

[bigguy]

Glad it worked, not sure about the blue but I will take a look sometime today.
