    Solved NAVBAR Home Button URL not editable

    Post by Earth ION Energy February 10th 2013, 1:16 am

    Hi everyone!

    My first post here!

    Is it possible to make the home button go to a different URL.


    http://earthionenergy.forumakers.com is the current URL.

    What I want to do is create a forum.earthionenergy.com and then make the home button of the forum go to www.earthionenergy.com

    The first part I know how to do using a CNAME, but the second part I have yet to find the answer to.

    Any help greatly appreciated,

    All the best,

    Home button is designated to the index unless you re name it by creating a new button.

    The easiest option would be to create a new link and renaming and re-arranging the buttons on the nav bar by going to:

    AP>Display>Headers & Navigation>Add customized menu

    Hope it helped.

    Hi thanks for the tip Avery.

    I am partially happy with the result.

    The gripe I have is the new "Home" button and now the old home button which says "Forum" as my graphics both have the alt text "Home".

    How can I resolve this?

    Many thanks,

    Make a thread here: https://help.forumotion.com/f87-forum-buttons-icons

    You must use the proper way to ask for graphics you can find the code here: https://help.forumotion.com/t110859-rules-of-the-graphic-design-section

    Copy the code and make a new thread and fill it out.

    Cheers,

    Hi, either I didn't explain very well or you misunderstood what I meant.

    Is there a way to change the text that appears when hovering over the Navbars orignal "Home" button.


    I had to change the graphic so it read "Forum".

    However the text that shows when I hover over it reads Home and seems completely uneditable.

    I would like it to say "Forum" or even nothing would work for me also.

    Any help welcome.

    Cheers,
