Change Header Link to CMS

[giraffesyo]

Alright, this is to fulfill a request for the ability to do this.

This modification enables the vbulletin banner to be linked to the CMS instead of the forumhome. Very simple modification.

First off go to AdminCP -> Style & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Header

In header find:

{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php

Change this to:

{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}

Make sure to take out the .php after the } or it will not work correctly.

Mark installed if you use this. =]

^_^ good to hear it works on all versions. I thought this should be an option in default vbulletin... Where the header goes to..

nice!!! installed,many thanks

[Bouncer222]

what if I wanted to make it point to a CUSTOM URL, such as this... exactly: www.brotherhoodofgamers.com how do I do that?

[Videx]

Like this.<div><a name="top" href="http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/ {vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" class="logo-image"><img

[Bouncer222]

Videx, your code looks improper, and missing closing tags, can you please fix it and for any other mistakes and then I will test it.

Thanks

[Videx]

Sorry I wasn't clear. I just quoted the whole line, but you're only replacing the part this mod talks about.
replace: {vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.phpWith:http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/

theres not really a need for a template modification if u want the header to link the CMS instead of the forum & much easier!

Simply goto admincp

then

Site Name / URL / Contact Details

then in the box that says: Homepage URL
simply put http://www.yoursite.com/content.php

then in the box that says: Homepage URL
simply put http://www.yoursite.com/content.phpI dunno. We still have a CMS out at our root folder, so I'm not sure this would be the correct solution for us. But if we ever decide to abandon the outer CMS and go just with the VB CMS, this may be the easier solution. Not sure how this would affect weird stuff like SEO.

[dmknights]

well this works fine with vb 4.0

Doesn't do the same thing. You don't want all forumhome requests to go to that, just the link at top or else when you click forum it will also go to that link. important to note that.

there is a way to have logo link to change it in forum home when my users are in the forum and CMS home when they are on the CMS?

[NiTRoN]

or replace
vb:raw vboptions.forumhome

with

vb:raw vboptions.homeurl

still have to remove the ".php" between } {

[GamerPerfection]

Awesome thanks dude. :)

[Webbstre]

Excellent! I'd been thinking about changing this for a long time

My pleasure =]

I don't understand why you'd want that. A link to the same page they are on?

But to do that it'd have to change the header with an if statement saying which documents you are on.

Not really plausible for the purpose.

Any Demo..........

[Videx]

Any Demo..........Demo what? This just changes it so that if someone clicks on your header it goes to the CMS instead of the forum.

What doess this do to the foru? im a newbie and i just dont know what this mod would change on m forum. can i have a pic or some explain in detail what this mod does please. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't get this to work in 4.2.0 pl3 until I found this thread (https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/374802-Logo-Link-for-CMS-instead-of-Forum-vbulletin-4-1-2-(and-other-basic-changes)). I vaguely remember seeing they may have finally added a no-edit way to do this, but I can't recall where. Maybe I'm only remembering that you can change the home url in settings.

1. In the header template, change this:


<a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}" class="logo-image">
to this:


<a name="top" href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}" class="logo-image">
