I would like to change URL for the "home" link in the upper right corner to my website home page (since the user can get to the forums index with the links on the left or with the "go to" pop up). Do I change the URL in the php files in the themes folder?

If so, which one do I pick to use as a test for the default, unregistered user's forum index page?

If not, which files should I be tinkering with?

I assume once the changes are made and uploaded I should rebuild the theme for them to take effect.

Thanks.

Modify the url in the approriate file, which can be found in the thm/default/tmpl/ folder.

I think I'm missing something.

I can't find any URLs in the thm/default/tmpl/ files. I find them in the themes folder. The files that contain them are actions.php, buddy_list.php, etc. The line in theme/default/actions.php, for instance, is:

<td valign="middle"><a class="UserControlPanel" href="http://www.coastguides.com/forum/index.php?t=index&amp;<?php echo _rsid; ?>"><img src="http://www.coastguides.com/forum/theme/default/images/top_home.gif" border=0 alt="Home" /></a></td>
<td valign="middle"><a class="UserControlPanel" href="http://www.coastguides.com/forum/index.php?t=index&amp;<?php echo _rsid; ?>">Home</a></td>
</tr>

One is the URL for the image link, the other for the text. It seems I could simply change the href to "www.coastguides.com" Are you sure these aren't the right files to change? If not, I still can't find the right ones.

Thanks

You are editing the compiled file which is WRONG. You should be editing a .tmpl file, which is the source from which the compiled files are generated. {ROOT} is the 'special' string that gets replaced with the URl of your forum.

Hey, I'm slow on the uptake, but now it all makes sense to me! Thank you. Found and changed all that I needed in usercp.tmpl and feel like a genius. Can't tell you how much I appreciate all your work!
