Change URL of Forums logo

[tpasa]

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/

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

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}}

And for those making use of the following setting (in General Configuration), there is a present attached...

 

(NE) Site URL 1.0.0.xml

Wow, that's crazy. You guys seriously took that away? Why? Seems like an easy option to be able to modify besides messing with code. Where's the easy button?

This has never been a feature of the Invision Community series

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.

Guess my former It guy who did play with code made our point to the main site. Oh well.

In the HTML source code:

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 ?

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)

and what purpose is that for? seo? or something else?
