How do I create a Link on my forum Header?

[bosunjohnson]

Hello everyone and thanks for making life simple and easy.

I have a forum that i want to header forum text(see below) to be a link so it can be clicked on.

How do I achieve this please?

See below.

what do you want it to link to?

the logo already links to the index page or whatever you want to set it to in the admin panel.

to make the actual text of the site name to be a link would require an edit to the template files that you would have to redo each time you update etc.

A link forum would be much simpler. Realistically, no one will ever click that.

The site logo, the board index text at the top and bottom of the page and the jump list all already do that for you.

A link forum is a special one like the area51 link on the index here. Create forum> Forum type> link.

@ bosunjohnson - if you absolutely want to change it, please test this way: prosilver 3.2.8 (!) ...

NEW class(es) CSS: ...

Code: Select all

h1 a { color: #FFF; }
h1 a:hover { color: #CCC; }

*)
... or realize the CSS:

Code: Select all

h1 a {
	color: #FFF;
	text-decoration: underline;
}
h1 a:hover {
	color: #CCC;
	text-decoration: underline;
}

HTML: overall_header.html
find that container:

Code: Select all

			<div id="site-description" class="site-description">
				<a id="logo" class="logo" href="<!-- IF U_SITE_HOME -->{U_SITE_HOME}<!-- ELSE -->{U_INDEX}<!-- ENDIF -->" title="<!-- IF U_SITE_HOME -->{L_SITE_HOME}<!-- ELSE -->{L_INDEX}<!-- ENDIF -->"><span class="site_logo"></span></a>
				<h1>{SITENAME}</h1>
				<p>{SITE_DESCRIPTION}</p>
				<p class="skiplink"><a href="#start_here">{L_SKIP}</a></p>
			</div>

and replace its content:

Code: Select all

			<div id="site-description" class="site-description">
				<a id="logo" class="logo" href="<!-- IF U_SITE_HOME -->{U_SITE_HOME}<!-- ELSE -->{U_INDEX}<!-- ENDIF -->" title="<!-- IF U_SITE_HOME -->{L_SITE_HOME}<!-- ELSE -->{L_INDEX}<!-- ENDIF -->"><span class="site_logo"></span></a>
				<h1><a href="{U_INDEX}" title="{L_INDEX}"><span>{SITENAME}</span></a></h1>
				<p>{SITE_DESCRIPTION}</p>
				<p class="skiplink"><a href="#start_here">{L_SKIP}</a></p>
			</div>

Clear after your work all caches and browser-caches(!).
