Have you ever edited the page "layout" before?

If you haven't tread carefully and/or seek assistance.

Firstly take a snapshot of your site, then go to the "Design" tab within Actinic.

Click on your company logo and the layout field should populate with something similar to:

<img
	src="CompanyLogoFileName""
	width="CompanyLogoWidth"
	height="CompanyLogoHeight"
	alt="StoreName"
	class="logoimage" 
	border="0"/>

Click on the white up arrow backed with a yellow snail shell.

You should then see "CompanyLogoImage" in pink; replace with:

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

That should give you a clickable logo

The home link can be changed in a similar fashion.

Click on the link in your nav bar.

Look for the code similar to this:

<a href="http://www.yoururl.co.uk/acatalog/index.html" target="_self">Home</a>

and change to

<a href="/" target="_self">Home</a>

Please remember if you copy any code, paste it into notepad before finally pasting it into Actinic.

You can also change the logo code from:

<img
	src="CompanyLogoFileName""
	width="CompanyLogoWidth"
	height="CompanyLogoHeight"
	alt="StoreName"
	class="logoimage" 
	border="0"/>

to

<a href="/."><img
	src="CompanyLogoFileName""
	width="CompanyLogoWidth"
	height="CompanyLogoHeight"
	alt="StoreName"
	class="logoimage" 
	border="0"/></a>

The URL for your home page is defined in design > design options

There are several spelling and capitalisation mistakes in the text on your home page, probably a good idea to correct them

thanks every one for the reply.

i have managed to make my logo cliclable.
but home page problem is same as it was if u check the the home url it shows like

http://www.thecarparts.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

but i think it should be something like

http://www.thecarparts.co.uk/index.html

and if u click on the logo it goes to the same page as

http://www.thecarparts.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

could someone please tell me how can i change it.

What is in design > design options as the home page URL? Have you got htaccess in place perhaps? Give us info on what you've done, don't leave us guessing to try and help you.

[Elee]

in design options under home page link there are three radio buttons to select from and brochure button is selected and there is no url in the box.

[Elee]

if i click on home button in nav bar it shows like

<a href="<actinic:variable name="HomePageURL" />"><actinic:variable formatting="bold" name="HomeText" /></a>

and store top button shows;

<a href="<actinic:variable name="TopSectionPageURL" />"><actinic:variable formatting="bold" name="TopSectionIconDescription" /></a>

but both links showing the same page.

The actual code references "acatalog/index.html" so I don't think it's that.

Do you have "Use as Homepage" checked on your brochure index page?

[Elee]

yes its already ticked but whenever i upload my website it doesnt ask me to upload home page each time.i dont know if its related to this problem

Make sure all the warnings are enabled in Housekeeping | Warning Management.

You could use

<a href="/">

to fix the immediate problem?
