    Change logo URL

    Hello, Took some gandering around, and cannot seem to find it.

    I am trying to change where you go if you click the main logo. We want our users to go to our main wordpress URL instead of the forums.

    Any help would be awesome!

    Thanks,

    The logo is pointing to the base url set in the config. If you really want to change the url, you have to modify the header template. This is how it is coded by default:

    Code:
    <a href="[COLOR=#FF0000]{vb:raw baseurl}/[/COLOR]"><img src="{vb:stylevar titleimage}" data-orig-src="{vb:stylevar titleimage}" alt="{vb:phrase logo}" title="{vb:phrase powered_by_vbulletin_title}" /></a>

      Glenn,

      I completely did not see that at all.. I mainly stayed at the top of the file, and was like, "Man none of this makes sense..."

      When discourgaged, just keep on reading i suppose! :-)

      Thanks again for your quick reply, I got things modified, and things are working how we want.

      Thanks again,

        I realize this is a stupid question, but how do you upload a different forum logo?

          This is no stupid question.

          I know of 2 ways to change the logo:
          • [MOD EDIT} You can use the Header feature in Site Builder to upload a custom logo.
          • The other way is to define a path to your custom logo in the AdminCP for the style you use on your forums. You find this option under AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > [Select your current style] > Style Variable Editor > ImagePaths/titleimage. There you can enter a custom URL to your logo.

            There is yet another way to change the logo, by using the Quick Tools editor that appears at the very top when logged in as an Administrator. Slide the bar to Yes, then select Header and click the Edit button near the current logo.

                I can not figure this out, What should the path be or where are these tools, I can't get it to work, does the logo image need to be exactly the same size or will it force it to size, if I can ever get mine to change...

                Which I can't seem to do..

                  This is a very old topic. What are you trying to figure out today? When I visit your site, I see a custom logo on both styles you have made available for use.

                  You can upload a new logo via Site Builder using the Header or Quick Setup Tools. You will either need to check the box to apply the logo to all styles or repeat this process for each style you make available to your end users. The Logo will not be resized. You can manually resize it in a graphics editor before upload or use CSS after the upload to force the browser to resize it. You don't need to change any paths at all using these methods.

                  If you want to update the Style Variable directly in the AdminCP, you will need to upload your logo before hand and know the exact path within your website. The image will not be resized unless you resize it.

                  Most people use Site Builder to change their logos these days as it is easier.
