Hi, my forum is http://www.fixmycountry.co.uk
i have some knowledge of how to build html websites but have no clue about php. I have installed SiteGroundPHPbb6 an edited the top banner logo but i dont know how to make this a link back to the home page. Im sure this is very basic but im a total newbie to this.
Any help would be much apreciated.

Cheers
Jase

You can use the html <a> link tags for linking it to your website. It works

I'm not exactly sure what you're seeing... the template files do not have any PHP in them. You have to edit templates/SiteGroundPHPbb6/overall_header.tpl (you're in the wrong forum this is for 3.0.x - your board is 2.0.x) which is only HTML.

How you want to create the link is up to you. There are a couple ways to go about this.. You can use PHP to handle the link (which I have a tendency to do on occasions) or you just use plain HTML.

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.yourlink.com"><img src="where/your/image/lies.jpg"></a> - Image as link

You can just replace the image part of the code with text, or you just put text before the </a> to have text beside the image, just be sure to put a space after the .jpg"> so the text won't be right up next to the image.
