Hi again, I seem to be coming here a lot but I seriously need help, please. I'm trying to add the map of Westeros as a whole including the North etc etc. How do I add the map on top with the 'Home', 'Help'. Please help me? Thank you in advance.

No, I just want to be able to add the map somewhere on my site so people can always go to it when they wish and see how far like say the Night's Watch and Essos.

Ah ok. Well then the easiest way would be to create a custom page (Admin > Structure > Custom Pages) and then you can have a navigation link to that page.


At custom pages, click Create New Custom Page. Give it a name like map. Leave the default layout of 'blank' and at the bottom click on Submit. Then click on the HTML tab and remove $[zone_1]. Add a link to your map image using this syntax:
<img src="MAP LINK HERE">And click Save Changes.


To add the navigation link, go to Admin > Settings > Forum Settings, Navigation tab. Click Add Custom. For the name you can put Westeros Map and for the URL put /page/map (assuming map is the name of your custom page).


See how this goes and let me know if you have any questions.

DOCTOR WHO!! - the issue is you are linking to another site and not just an image.

Do you want to link to the site?

I'm linking the exact site quartermaester.info/ that is where the map is in. yeah, i think i do. so people can click on the map and go there automatically when they click to see their location like King's Landing.

Ok, in this case it's a matter of adding a special link to the forum wrapper layout template. I've gone ahead and done this for you. Check it out and let me know if this works for you.
