How do I add a link to my main page on a phpbb 3 forum?

**hollenback** · 03-19-2009, 09:07 PM

What I did was add links to the header file. You will find the file "overall_header.html" in the templates folder under the style that you are using.

Find the <body in that code as that is where the HTML for the page starts.

**vtmtech** · 03-19-2009, 11:44 PM

<td valign="middle"><a href="http://example.com">Example.com</a></td>

above

<td height="100" valign="middle"><a href="{U_INDEX}">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a></td>

would work?

I dunno I've been trying lots of things with that file and forum stays the same, maybe UNLIMITED FTP isnt working right for me.

Add the following where you want the link:
<a href="" title="" alt="">Link Description</a>

IE : <a href="index.html" title="Home Page" alt="Home Page">Our home page</a>
Tweak it to your needs.

There is no alt attribute for anything but the <img> tag since only images can have images turned off and need ALTernative text to display in place of the image.

Any tag including <a> and <img> can have a title attribute because that either displays as a tooltip or in the status bar depending on the browser.

Tons of ways to add links, what theme are you running?

I'm using Red Milky Way, this theme might be the problem after all with PHPBB3's Default theme I was able to add google ads without trouble. I've been adding the link here & there on the file with no effect.
