Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
tpasa Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Ok, I'm at a lost. I've searched and searched and I can' find a way to change the URL on the logo at the top of the forum. I've always had it pointed to my actual website but now it just takes me to the main forums. Any help would be appreciated. My forums are at https://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/
Marc Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 You would need to modify your templates in order to achieve this. There is no way in which to do this without editing your templates
Meddysong Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 The logo redirects to the location where the Invision Community software is installed. To amend this behaviour, you would need to modify the tempate named logo to: {{if isset( \IPS\Theme::i()->logo['front']['url'] ) AND \IPS\Theme::i()->logo['front']['url'] !== null }} {{$logo = \IPS\File::get( 'core_Theme', \IPS\Theme::i()->logo['front']['url'] )->url;}} <a href='YOUR URL HERE' id='elLogo' accesskey='1'><img src="{$logo}" alt='{setting="board_name" escape="true"}'></a> {{else}} <a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elSiteTitle' accesskey='1'>{setting="board_name"}</a> {{endif}} Â

Where's the easy button?Â

Seems like an easy option to be able to modify besides messing with code. Where's the easy button? You could ALWAYS change the logo and it has always pointed to the application’s root path. So if you have IPB in domain.com/forum,  the logo would always take you to /forum when you clicked on the logo. It has never been possible to pick for the logo to be mapped to a custom URL.Â

MeMaBlue Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 No , I mean, as a user/guest will i see the main website link url / name somewhere, on the forum, as a title , clickable or not ?  Â
Nathan Explosion Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 And I mean that you will see that change in the source code - that's what the setting does, nothing else as far as I am aware (if it did something else I would have mentioned it) MeMaBlue 1
