Trying to add a link button on the BB, back to my website.

Post by dziner55 »

Your board's URL: 7litre.org
Version of phpBB3:3.0.4
Was this a fresh install or a(n) update/upgrade/conversion (please be specific)?upgrade
If update, what package(s) did you use?
Did you use an automated wizard provided by your host to install phpBB?
MODs you have installed:
When the problem started: No problem. Trying to add something
Your level of expertise (be honest): Novice

This may not be the place for this, but since the regular support is down, I figured I would give it a try.

I want to create a URL, back to my website FROM the forum. I figured I would use the logo at the top left for this. It currently leads back to the board index, but there is already a link below it, which does the same thing. Does anyone have the code I would use for this, and know which page to put it on?


Thanks,

Vince

If you open the template/overall_header.html file and look for this

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_INDEX}" title="{L_INDEX}" id="logo">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>
you can change "{U_INDEX}" to "http://www.whatever"

eg

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.7litre.org" title="{L_INDEX}" id="logo">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>
Then admin panel
styles
template
refresh

That will make the logo go back to the homepage

I hate to sound like a dope, but what folder is "template/overall_header.html file " in?

In the forum Folder, I have mostly .php files, and then a bunch of other folders and I can't seem to locate the one called template/overall_header.html

Sorry if this is a lame question.

Hi there :)

I'd like to do the same, but can't find the same line in my "overall_header.html" and for the moment, my logo (spacer.gif) is not a link. i'd like to use it to back to my portal

here is the code in my file :

Code: Select all

<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/spacer.gif" alt="spacer" height="249"></img>
<table width="814" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
		<td class="podkreslenie">
<a href="{U_INDEX}" class="one">{L_INDEX}</a>
Thanks for help =)

Depends on your style.

It's likely to be this

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_INDEX}" class="one">{L_INDEX}</a>
changed to

Code: Select all

<a href="http://yoursite.com" class="one">{L_INDEX}</a>

thanks for your reply :)

your exemple is for "forum index" right ? but i'd like to make "spacer.gif" as a link for portal. In phpBB 2.0.x i have done this link, perhaps by admin panel, but now with 3.0.4 cant find it :-(

It depends entirely what style you have. Without a link it's hard to say.
Probably better to post in the styles forum if you want to edit which image goes to your portal.
