adding link to header image

[Nyx1961]

My future store is located at http://store.gardenofshadows.ca/. I would like to add a link to the header image, so that when someone clicks on the image, it takes them to a specific url. How can I do that? The style sheet is rather different from WordPress and phpBB so I'm a little lost. I've tried searching but didn't find a response anywhere and I have ordered the Zen Cart manual but am awaiting delivery.

I appreciate any help you can give me. :)

Sorry, to clarify things, I should add that I would like to link my header image to an external link, my site homepage, www.gardenofshadows.ca, not to a page in my store.

Not intending to bump but just wondering if I posted this in the wrong section perhaps?

Hi Nyx1961.

Did you manage to sort this out as it's relatively easy.

You need to edit tpl_header.php which you can find in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

Look for the text below this <!--bof-branding display-->
and edit it accordingly.

Thanks for responding, Dalem. I'm not sure exactly what to add/remove/edit in the code to have my header image link to my site. The code is pasted below. I hope someone wouldn't mind helping me with this, please. I'm a bit lost.

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="<?php
$page = $_GET['main_page'];
$cPath = $_GET['cPath'];
 if ($page == "index" && $cPath < 1 )
{ echo "logoWrapper"; }
else
{ echo "logoWrapper".rand ( 1 , 6 ); }
?>">

<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>
    <div id="taglineWrapper">
<?php
              if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
<?php
              }
?>
<?php
              if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
                if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
      <div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
                }
              }
?>
    </div>
<?php } // no HEADER_SALES_TEXT or SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<div class="my-acct"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></div>
<?php } ?>
</div>

I'm still really stuck with this. My futute-store is http://www.gardenofshadows.ca/ and the template I used for it is http://(sorry, site offline)/1-3-9d/...wist_of_nature. This template used a half-dozen header/logo images but in my case, I made them all identical, so it would be safe to use just one of them. In any event, I don't know how to do this or how to insert a link in my image. I've tried the usual way

<a href="http://www.gardenofshadows.ca" target="_blank">
<img src=http://www.gardenofshadows.ca/includes/templates/twist_of_nature/images/header.jpg" width="900" height="200" />
</a>

but it made the rest of my site alignments go out of whack. I've really tried but just can't get it to work. I'd really appreciate some help. Please.

NYX1961,

Greetings. I realize this is WAAAAAY late but did you ever get your problem solved with putting your main URL in the header logo link?

I had the same problem and stumbled upon this thread. Dalem's path was just a bit off. It should read:

includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php.

Under the <!--bof-branding display--> line is a line that reads, in part:

<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">

Change that to read:

<a href="http://www.gardenofshadows.ca">

and save the file. That worked for me anyway but you might want to save a copy of the original code just in case.

Cheers,

--Allen

Thanks Allen! I never did get that issue resolved and it was a pleasant surprise to see your response. I appreciate the help.
