How and where to add hyperlink code to Forum Banner

[paulam]

Would like to add a hyperlink to the existing banner image on our Forum Home page.


Where exactly would the code be placed?
What should the code be?

You should be able to go into your forum wrapper ( Admin> Themes> Layout Templates>Forum Wrapper)and add the hyperlink but it'll only work if you have removed the logo (forum title) from there. So typically you'll see this starting around line 16.


<div id="banner-container" role="banner">
<h2 id="banner">
$[forum.title]
</h2>
</div>

The red would need to be gone and then it would look like this with the bold being your hyper link and the blue being the link you want it to go to:

<a href="support.proboards.com">
<div id="banner-container" role="banner">
<h2 id="banner">
</h2>
</div>
</a>

Thank you Tumbleweed for the idea.

Once I made all the changes
--- removed $[forum.title]
---- and added <a href="dodgerslist.com">....</a>)

it caused all the rest of the code to be flagged red in the Forum Wrapper.

If you got a red flags on some of the code you might be missing a quote or something isn't nested correctly. Double check that you have it exactly how I have it. If you don't see anything wrong then post what you have from the very top and then down to where you start getting red flags.

Thank you Tumbleweed!!!! It must have been a missing quote mark. All works as it should now.

You're welcome. Glad it was something simple like that.
