Link off-site on front of page...?

Alright, I got two thread, but two completely different problems. XP

I would like to add a link from the forum to the main site.

Here is the forum: http://madmeeper.forumotion.com/index.htm

Here is the main site: http://www.madmeeper.com/

And I would like to put it somewhere along where the red is on this screenshot.

Is that at all possible? Thanks a lot!

Sure. Make a customized nav bar.
Display>>headers and navigation>>add customized menu(bottom right of nav bar links box)
Fill in the fields as you like, using the main site addy as the redirection link.

Once you make the new nav link, you can use the arrows to position it how you like in the nav links box

or u can use <a href> in the template, so u can make many links.

Alright, I did that, but it's not showing up for me. =/

My site is attached to the image in my signature.

@ Sanket: first, sorry. I didnt read the rule and thought it was ok because forumotion is our host. I was wrong. Ok, then.

@ Dark_Kokiri. I have seen your site and you look like pretty good to manage. But maybe the link at nav bar can not be used to link out side of your forum. Other way may be you can add: <a href=http://www.madmeeper.com>Main Site</a> at your: index_body or overall_header at your forum. Or you can modify in placing it. Sorry if you already know/understand this but not your objective.

I don't really understand...I'm still new to forum codes and such. XP

So what you are saying is that you dont know how to get it up there, but that I can change the top graphic to make a link to the main site? I don't get it. D: (sorry it's hard to work with me. XP)

wew~ do you want to change the top graphic link? I don’t recommend that.

Anyway, you should understand the basic of html codes for that.

First, go to the template: admin panel > display > templates > general > overall_header_new > modify

There you can see the script of your forum header. Now, what do you look for? Logo, right? Find the code for that. {logo} This is css. Logo is a picture, so it should be a code for image source. <img src="{LOGO} ....>.

That logo is a link. So, find the code for link <a href=....> before {logo}. Do you want to change the link? Change that ....to be your link.

Anyway, I don't recommend this and never tried this before, probably i am wrong and perhaps it can affect the stability of your forum.

That I suggest is to put: <a href=http://www.madmeeper.com>Main Site</a>. For easier way you can put this code at the top of your header template. After that, you can try to modify that, e.g. bigger font for the word "Main Site" or insert an image for the link. And experiment that.

You've gotta put the Main Site too, over the "Text" area so it will be visible in your forum nav menu.

OMG, yess, I think that is the problem, the "text" area has to be filled with some text to show up at the nav bar as the name.

Alright, THAT did it. XD Wow, I can't believe I missed that. XP Thanks a lot guys for putting up with me. I'll set this to solved now.
