This mod will make your logo clickable. It is based for the default theme, so please make sure to edit custom theme file index.template.php for custom theme effects.

It is well known that to have a clickable logo, is good for your members, so they have an extra way to get back to the main page of your website.

I want to say thanks to Babjusi, his wrapper mod got me thinking on the clickable logo..  ;)

Neat SmokeyBlue :)

I have seen very requests at these forums here for such a thing and I am sure that a lot of people would find this mod handy. Especially those that are not comfortable with editing the files

Hi Smoky Blue..
:)
How does it work?
Is there something new in the menu system?
Or does it just make the current spot where the image url is entered, able to take an {<a href=" ...etc}?

thanks

ddarrell

OK, I just figured it out.  It is making the 'smf' logo clickable to the home of the forum...
Pretty Neat....

One day when you are bored, maybe you can make the image link that is an option in Current Theme settings, (That displays a Logo on the top left of the forum), be clickable to another website..   :D :D :D
(I could use that functionality)

Thanks

i know just enough to really screw up ;D

hi ddarrell..

if you need it for another website, or another area of your site, when you do the edits (apply mod)

then just look at this spot here:

<a href="', $scripturl, '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="" /></a>

this bit:

a href="place your url here',  will help you do what you wish.

remember, this only works for the default. you must edit the custom theme as well ;)

glad you can use it!!  :)

just a question.... i know its silly to ask but just for a clarification... if the logo is already clickable and I install the mod then would there be a conflict or it will overright it ? or when i uninstall it, would it remove the code from the file and make the original logo unclickable ?


Smoky "Rider" Blue

this applies to the default theme for smf. that logo isnt clickable.

if you wish to add it to other themes, you must do so manually.

if your logo is clickable already, then why would you need the mod?

this does install and uninstall very well, so it is up to you if you wish to use this ;)

I tried to download the mod just now and it said there was an error - something failed when it tested the file, just FYI.

Smoky, I'd like to welcome you to the informal mod author's team. I thought of this idea myself and have even written the mod, even ready to upload, and installed on my own forum, but I'm glad I didn't because you have now issued your first mod package, and it's good to have another author on the team!

Good showing Smoky! You go! Welcome to the team! :)

Smoky "Rider" Blue

lol thanks!! this is nice!!

i have a few more i would like to see up, and just glad to help out where i can ;)
