Mini Mods - Change Header Link to CMS

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. =]

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

Like this.

PHP Code:

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

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

Sorry I wasn't clear. I just quoted the whole line, but you're only replacing the part this mod talks about.
replace:

PHP Code:

{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php 


With:

PHP Code:

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

I 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.

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?
