How to change the home page of my forum

[danster]

Hi..! all I'm using smf 2.0.14 and I just want to change my forum home link to another page I mean for now when clicking on the home button it will direct to my forum index page so I want to change it to another link so pls some one can help me to do that

Thank you..

well, you are going to confuse your users... they expect the home button to go back to the forum home page...   so, if you do this, you had better also add a forum-home button.

you have to edit the menu array in Subs.php

Hey! It's from line 3930, the first one. You can edit the 'href' field with a full URL, if you want. It depends on where do you actually want to redirect users when they click that button.

Code Select Expand

'home' => array(
'title' => $txt['home'],
'href' => $scripturl,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
),

The URL must be between '', like this: 'http://simplemachines.org'. Leave the single quote out ^^

[edit] it is not a comma Illori

Illori...   that's not a good edit.
There IS a comma there, and it must be left outside of the single quotes, as d3vcho mentioned originally....

Code Select Expand


'href' => 'http://your.url.com',

it read to me to leave it out completely, that is what we get for not giving a complete sample, sorry.
