Links in header banners. Can it be done?

[kat]

We've made a banner and fitted it to all themes that we use. What we'd like to have, though, is text on the banner that are clickable links, if that makes sense.

I know squat about php, sadly, but this could be where I start to learn...

Any ideas?

Well, that means nothing, to me. I like your style, though, Brõck. A clue is exactly what I wanted. Something to give me a start. I'll do a bit of research, which I can learn from, with that as a start.

Thanks!

You'll want something like this:

Code Select Expand


// This part is the logo and forum name.  You should be able to change this to whatever you want...
echo '
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com" border="0" target="_blank"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" width="250" style="float: right;" alt="" /></a>

Actually, I think image mapping is what he was looking for...like the xtSMF theme done awhile back uses for its menu.

I think he wants to have links coded to match parts of a static image.  That will require mapping.

Yeah!

To clarify, we need to have text, on the banner. About four lines split into two sides, where clicking in the text takes you to different url's.

I prefer my version, with CSS, compatible XHTML, you can see it with http://www.xxlaperobar.be  the logo is in a id, you can make a span, & text if you want...

That looks brilliant!

As a coder, though, my experience is limited to Amiga BASIC, AMOS and ZX Spectrum BASIC, so that lot's going to be impossible to do, for me!

I'll investigate what I can do with the php suggestions, first, I think.

Thanks for the input, everyone!
