Linking Logo to home page - Clean thread?

[Ho Ho Bird]

Hi - I've genuinely spent an hour searching for this, in attempt to follow-up a suggestion I received when I last put my site up for review.

I was encouraged to do this and am happy to try it, but am very surprised that I can't find a clean or focussed thread on the issue.

Unless I'm being a complete idiot, using Word to search the AUG for 'logo' yields zero results. As does using my Pdf reader for the Starter Guide.

I'm a beginner so if it is not straightforward I'll have to leave it alone.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

It will be in here somewhere, but quite possibly one line half way down a thread.

<a href="<actinic:variable name="HomePageURL" />"/><actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoImage" /></a>

Try that

Or try this if you want to change the alt (hover) text:

<a href="<actinic:variable name="HomePageURL" />"><img src="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoFileName" />" alt="My Hover Text"/></a>

Hi Nicky & Rich. Thanks for your help. As a beginner though I'm not sure what to do with it

If you think the change is practical for my level (I'm changed or one or 2 very basic things) please could you add some detail when you get time? If I'm asking for the impossible I'll retire from this and move on to something else.

I should add I'm ok at doing a snapshot and reimporting it back if things go wrong!

Thanks again for your efforts.

Go into Design View and click on your logo.

If you select the layout tab you should see something like this:

<img src="CompanyLogoFilename" alt="StoreName">

There may be some width and height specified too.

Put:

<a href="homepageurl">

before the img src code and the

</a>

after it.

Actinic should pre empt the HomePageURL variable as you type.

I hope that makes sense.

You need to pop it into the layout that holds the logo code already.


*someone beat me to it.

Thanks for your replies. I've made some progress but can't get it right (HTML means very little so I'm shooting in the dark!)

I either get 2 logos (left seems to work as desired but with blue border*)
or
I get one logo (with a border) with the text height / width following

Both results punch my basket into the middle of nowhere

I'm starting with this, takes up lines 1 to 6.

<img
src="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoFileName" />"
width="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoWidth" />"
height="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoHeight" />"
alt="<actinic:variable name="StoreName" />"
class="logoimage" />


I want the hover text to be "Return to Home Page". Is it possible to give me the full code for me to slot in???

I think the border issue is referred to elsewhere (saw that when searching before).

Sorry if I'm asking too much.

At least you found the right place.

What you want is this:

<a href="http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk"><img
	src="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoFileName" />"
	width="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoWidth" />"
	height="<actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoHeight" />"
	alt="Return to Home Page" border="0"/></a>

May I suggest you use "Return to <actinic:variable name="StoreName" />'s home page" as your alt tag

Bloody genius! Many thanks to you both for your fab help. Working a dream......about to upload.

Very generous of you and much appreciated.

A pleasure Peter well done.

Have a read around the internet on html and as long as you make regular backups before any changes you'd be surprised what you can do yourself.
