How to change the link in the logo

[Steve-Ray]

 

 

 

I am just using the above image as an example......

This is something that is automatic (I think) on all sites and obviously varies for every site out there.  My question is where do I go to modify the actual embedded url to what I want it to point to?

Thanks

admincp >> customizations >> themes >> far right of theme name click the Edit HTML/CSS button >> templates tab

scroll down until see logo

Thanks Steve00.

I found the code but not sure what to change at this point but I suspect it is this line (<a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elSiteTitle' accesskey='1' class='logo textLogo'><span class='position'>) and specifically the base_url.
 

{{if \IPS\Theme::i()->logo['front']['url'] !== null }}
{{$logo = \IPS\File::get( 'core_Theme', \IPS\Theme::i()->logo['front']['url'] )->url;}}

    {{if theme.ipbf_mobileTextLogo}}
    
    <a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elLogo' accesskey='1' class='logo justImage ipsResponsive_showDesktop'><span class='position'><img src="{$logo}" alt='{setting="board_name" escape="true"}'></span></a>
    <a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elSiteTitle' accesskey='1' class='logo textLogo ipsResponsive_hideDesktop ipsResponsive_block'><span class='position'>{{if theme.ipbf_logoName}}{theme="ipbf_logoName"}{{else}}{setting="board_name"}{{endif}}</span></a>
    
    {{else}}
    
    <a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elLogo' accesskey='1' class='logo justImage'><span class='position'><img src="{$logo}" alt='{setting="board_name" escape="true"}'></span></a>
    
    {{endif}}

{{else}}
<a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elSiteTitle' accesskey='1' class='logo textLogo'><span class='position'>
 
    {{if theme.ipbf_miniLogo}}<img src='{theme="ipbf_textLogoImage"}' alt='' />{{endif}}
    {{if theme.ipbf_logoSlogan}}<span class='textWithImage'>{{endif}}
        {{if theme.ipbf_logoName}}{theme="ipbf_logoName"}{{else}}{setting="board_name"}{{endif}}
    {{if theme.ipbf_logoSlogan}}<span class='logoSlogan'>{theme="ipbf_logoSlogan"}</span></span>{{endif}}
 
</span></a>
{{endif}}

What do I do at this point?  Do I simply add the url that I want to use and where?

Change that to your desired URL in the <a href..... portions of the code.

[Steve-Ray]

I replaced "base_url" with the url that I wanted to use (http://mappersunited.com/index.php?/forums/) and when I hit save a message came up stating that the file could not be saved.  Actually it crashed the site until I restored it back to the original.

[Nathan Explosion]

Well, that's to be expected if you did just change "base_url"

You need to change this:

{setting="base_url"} 

to this:

 http://mappersunited.com/index.php?/forums/

LOL, ok I got it now!!

Works exactly like I want it to.  Big Thank You!

Have you tried to  use {setting=http://yourdomain}?

AFAIK the system shouldn't allow you to save this.

Correct, it doesn't if you change just base_url.

BUT if you change "base_url", it saves and you end up with this:

 

Can't reproduce the side effect mentioned above (borked site) though.

To clarify:

Change {setting="base_url"} to {setting="http://whatever"} = no save.

Change {setting="base_url"} to {setting=http://whatever} = save.

I've changed the {setting="base_url"} to the url of the logo I want to display. (I have someone who creates them for our site). When someone clicks the logo now to return to the main index, it will cause a 404 error. It's appending the URL of the logo to the end of the the forum's URL. Is there a way to still click the logo to return to the index and also have the URL pointing to the location of the logo?

Bump - It's probably something easy but I'm not seeing it.
