Getting back to the forums

[flex22]

When I go into the links section, and then click the forum logo to take me back to the main forum page, it doesn't.It just takes me to the main links section page.
How can I change this?

Oh and btw, why is there no link to the links section, as a menu item or something?
How do I create one.

Cheers!

Edit: I notice there's a "Home" button just underneath my logo, when I'm in the links section.However when i click it I get an error page.
It says:

the requested URL /itforums/links/www.oghma.net was not found on this server.

How do I correct that so that it goes back to my homepage.

Thanks again!

this works very nicely
if your running gallery and links

you can also take one of them out if your running just gallery or just links

If you want your logo to always link to your forums then you need to edit your header template and change the link to point to your forums there.
For the problem with your 'Home' link, it sounds like you have your 'Links Home URL' option set incorrectly.

Brian, here's what the start of my header template looks like now:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="25">&nbsp;</td>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td width="25">&nbsp;</td>
&nbsp;
<!--
Which bit do I have to change.I'm a bit of a newbie, go easy :) and thanks for the help!

[Brian]

Try changing $vboptions[forumhome].php to $vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php and that should do the trick.

Genius! mate, thanks a lot Brian.

I can now get from the link section back to the forum page via the logo.

However, I still have a problem with the "Home" link not working.

When I click the "Home" link just underneath my logo, and above where it says "Links directory" I get taken to an error page.

I have my homepage url set ok, I'm sure.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

I'm not seeing a home link beneath your logo... What is the URL the link is pointing to?

[flex22]

The home link is pointing to www.oghma.net/itforums
I've also tried pointing it to www.oghma.net (the actual homepage that nobody really uses).

Quiz feature installed perfectly, but this links stuff is a real headache. :mad:

[flex22]

Anybody Home!!!?!?

[Brian]

I'm still not seeing a link that says 'Home' anywhere near your logo. I also don't understand why you're having a problem if you said you had changed it to www.oghma.net. If you don't like where it's pointing then change it to point wherever you want it to.

[flex22]

Underneath!!! the logo, there IS! a link that says "Home"

When I click on it, it takes me to this link: http://www.oghma.net/itforums/links/Home?

How do I, make it, so that, it takes me to, this link: www.oghma.net/itforums

All settings look correct in admincp.

Thankyou!

[Brian]

I just registered so I could see what you're talking about. Just for future reference, that's called your navbar. ;)
Admin CP => vBulletin Options => Site Name / URL / Contact Details => Homepage URL

What do you have set for that option?

[flex22]

http://www.oghma.net/itforums

[Brian]

Weird... I don't see how since even the link in your footer of your forums is pointing to a different place. If you'd like to submit a support ticket though I'll be glad to take a look.

[flex22]

Ahh, just as I was writing the support ticket, when a thought came to mind.

In admincp, my Forum Url used to be set at www.oghma.net/itforums

However, after a recent problem with a quiz feature I have installed, the author of that hack told me to add http:// in front of the Forum URL

Therefore, my Forum URL is now set at http://www.oghma.net/itforums

In admincp, my homepage URL was set at www.oghma.net, without the http://

I just thought I'd see what would happen if I added http:// in front of it, like the Forum Url has.

Guess what, it solved it!

Cheers!
