How do I add a Link to my Home page to an Image?

I want to add a homepage link to the '***' image(header_bg.jpg) situated at the very top left of my site (remove spaces):
http:// 77.92.73.65 /store /zen/

Can anyone help?

Thankyou.

If you are referring to the cufflink image that is a background image applied via css....
You would have to create a "Transparent" image map that you would place the map in a copy of tpl_header.php and design it so that it overlays the correct "hot spots"

Google image map

Thanks for your reply Kobra, but no I dont want to add individual links to the each of the cufflink images (sorry if i didn't make this clear!!) I just want to add a link to the homepage to that whole image (*** + the cufflinks)

Thankyou :smile:

Re: How do I add a Link to my Home page to an Image?

Hi Kobra, I just want to say thanks for helping out me so far!! However I tried what you said and yes it worked to a certain extent as in their was a link to my home page, however it caused the GC logo to stay in one position and not float with the width of my page.

All I want to do is add the same code or whatever it is that adds a link to the gc_logo.gif to my image (i think this is called header_bg.jpg in my site)

Thankyou :smile:

Background images can not be linked....

Try replacing your gc_logo.gif with this image that is mostly transparent and 970px wide - - get it HERE

One can also create an "Image Map" for multiple hot spots
As you were asking here I supposed that you were not aware of what it is and you also stated that you did not want multiple areas

Re: How do I add a Link to my Home page to an Image?

Hi,

I know this thread is over a year old, but just for anyone who is interested:

I finally managed to do this by adding a simple html table, with the two images + their relevant links inside it, into the /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php file (use the file override system).

I hope this helps someone out in the future :smile:
