How to add "Home" Button to my forums?

How can I add a Home Button (as shown below in the image) to have it link to my main website?

My main website URL is: http://bbmatrix.net (just in-case there was some code that you needed to give me)

Thanks

My forums are running on the latest official vBulletin v4.1.8

You could do this: edit the navbar template and add the part in red (this section is at the very top of the template code):

Code:

<div id="navbar" class="navbar">

        <ul id="navtabs" class="navtabs floatcontainer<vb:if condition="$show['member'] AND $notifications_total"> notify</vb:if>">

                {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}

                <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">

                        <li><a class="navtab" href="bbmatrix.net">Home</a></li>

                        <li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="{vb:link forumhome}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>

Thank you for your reply

When I added the code in red,

The Home Button did appear BUT, it takes me to >>> http://bbmatrix.net/forums/bbmatrix.net

which is an invalid URL obviously, why is it having the bbmatrix.net/forums as a prefix?

I just want it to direct to http://bbmatrix.net

Thank you

Ahh I fixed it!

Had to change the code from:

<li><a class="navtab" href="bbmatrix.net">Home</a></li>

to

<li><a class="navtab" href="http://bbmatrix.net">Home</a></li>

That was simple!

Thank you very much for guiding me! I really appreciate it!

That was my fault, you did post the url you want to go to and I didn't use it. Anyway, glad you got it working.

Can you tell me, what do I need to use instead of "Home" if I want to have a variable instead of a text string (so I can use different button names for different languages) ?

Thanks in advance !

You just need to add a phrase in the phrase manager (use Phrase Type GLOBAL). Then in the navbar template, use {vb:rawphrase varname}, where "varname" is the Varname you entered when you created the phrase. Then you should be able to add translations for all your languages.
