Forum banner and hyperlink.

[greatwesternsaabs]

One feature that we missed was the hyperlink that v4 allowed you to create, so that users could click, say, to your website. Maybe I am wrong, but I have never found any way around the problem until now. If I have missed anything here, I apologise.
 
Admin ? Advanced Styles & CSS ? Style Sheet.

Scroll down to /* Required for proper functioning of the Easy Theme Creator */ ? @banner_background_position: < here change to justify > (this will remove any borders that may be apparent in your banner image to the left of it.

Scroll up a couple of lines to @wrapper_width: < here change to 1000px >

You may now find a border to your banner at the bottom.

Scroll to @banner_background_color: <and change the hex value to that of your navigation bar.> (alternatively, of course, change the depth of your banner, but we liked it as it was)

Next, to insert the hyperlink.

admin ? structure ? layout templates (ADVANCED) ? Forum Wrapper

Find <h2 id="banner"> . Immediately before the <img src= , insert the following - <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.co.uk">

Click Preview changes, and if you are happy, save.

Thanks greatwesternsaabs,

I was going to test this and then move it to the correct board as this is more for someone who might be creating a web-site from scratch, however, I can't test this to make sure it works properly as my V5 test site is acting silly at the moment.  I would think, though that putting a hyper-link there would also require closing that link as I did in red.

<a href="http://yourforum.net"><img src="http://linktobanner.png"></a>

I'll try again later to test this out and if all goes well, I'll move this thread.

Thanks again for your input. Appreciate it.

Yes you are quite correct - I omited to type </a> as you mention above.

Glad to be of some assistance!
