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

Re: Trying to add a link button on the BB, back to my website.
If you open the template/overall_header.html file and look for this
you can change "{U_INDEX}" to "http://www.whatever"
eg
Then admin panel
styles
template
refresh
That will make the logo go back to the homepage
Code: Select all
<a href="{U_INDEX}" title="{L_INDEX}" id="logo">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>
eg
Code: Select all
<a href="http://www.7litre.org" title="{L_INDEX}" id="logo">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>
styles
template
refresh

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

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

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