Getting it linked?

I have my logo on my forum, but how do i get it to link to my actual website rather than the main forum page?
(if that makes sense!)

Cheers,
Steve

First of all, what does your forum run off of? (phpbb3, phpbb2, vBulletin, Forumotion, etc.)

Sorry mate! that would help! it is Phpbb3!!

OK. This should work.

First, log into you cPanel and go to your File Manager.

Go to / public_html / YOUR-FORUM'S-FOLDER/ styles / YOUR-STYLE / template /
"YOUR-FORUM'S-FOLDER" would be the directory of your forum. Yours is "forum". "YOUR-STYLE" whould be the name of the folder where your theme's files are held. It should be the name of your theme.

Now you should see a ton of files.
Look for one with the word "header" in it. In the theme I'm looking at it's called "overall_header.html". Make sure it's the header for your entire forum before editing.

You may want to back up the file before editing. That way you can't get mad at me if you do something wrong.

Editing the file:
Look for the the html code where your logo is shown. It will not be the image url, instead it will be "{SITE_LOGO_IMG}". Here's what you should find:

Code:

<td class="headerlogo"><a href="{U_INDEX}">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a></td>

Now, see how it says <a href="{U_INDEX}">, simply change the {U_INDEX} to the url of your actual website.

Yours should look like this after you've edited it:

Code:

<td class="headerlogo"><a href="http://www.yourlocaltrades.co.uk/">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a></td>

Hope this helps,

And another question!!

see your looking rather sexy and personalized with the banner, and added bits in the thread options-ie: little banner bits etc
Can this be done easily? or on phpbb3??

Need to make mine look better! its a bit dull! cheers Null!!

What exactly are you asking? Little banner bits?

Null-11 wrote:What exactly are you asking? Little banner bits?

I would like to put a banner on each of the sections, and a decent banner on the top, it just isn't looking friendly, like i said-DULL!!

You seem to have the "know" so i would like to know what can be done, if anything to make this forum lively and more warm so to speak!

Like the banner in the "Site of the Month" section?

That's just html in the category's description.

Code:

<a href="http://addmyforum.forumotion.com/site-of-the-month-f22/"><img src="http://i52.servimg.com/u/f52/11/82/07/58/amf_po10.gif" alt="Try the NEW Site of the Month competition" title="Try the NEW Site of the Month competition" width="336" height="72" /></a><br /><b>Submit your forum, website, or blog and compete for AMF's site of the month.</b><br/>Site of the month: [The winner will have their banner link displayed here.]<br />

It doesn't work on mine! you see all the code!!!

Hmm... This may take longer to fix then. I'll look into it.
