Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 5, 20232 yr 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/
February 6, 20232 yr 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
February 6, 20232 yr 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}}

Where's the easy button?

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.

February 22, 20232 yr 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 ?
February 22, 20232 yr 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)
