Change Header Logo Link

[anikolov]

Hey Everyone!

I'm having a bit of an issue. I'm trying to set-up the header/logo image to link to an external page. I'm pretty sure it's located in the tpl_header file, specifically in the code listed below.

<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

I tried just adding the URL in the href line, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

It would be better to add another link versus one that takes them out of your cart...

But that is the line for your link on the logo

Try editing this in a copy for your template to

<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="Your_link_here">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

People generally expect to click on a site's logo to go to its homepage. If it leads somewhere else entirely, they are likely to be confused, and may well not come back to your store to continue shopping.

Not to hijack this thread, but where is this located to be able to add a link to the image at the top of a page(to bring you back to the home page)?

Thanks

Yes, I saw his post but I was hoping for a little more direction on where it is located. I am not as well versed in this stuff as some others are.

Thanks

tpl_ files are default files and only copies for your template structure should be edited/altered

tpl's are in /includes/templates/template_default and one of the directories contained within it

Sorry, I chose the wrong word. I didn't mean external page, I meant re-direct to another page on the site.

Thanks for the help everyone. But when I add an href link to that line, it doesn't seem to be working. Here's a copy of what I have. It looks like it should run with no problem, but nothing changes.

<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="http://example.com">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

Any thoughts?

"nothing changes"? Do you mean that the original logo stays as is? What do you see in view source when you add that?

[anikolov]

Sorry about that. I mean that when I change that line by adding a link, the change isn't being accepted. Right now, by default the logo links to the shop's homepage, but I would like it to link to a different page. However, when I add a link to the aforementioned piece of code, the logo's link doesn't change to the new URL that i've specified.
