Add link from logo to sitemap

[June]

We have just upgraded to V9.0.2 Business Plus
Is there any way of linking the company logo to the main Actinic sitemap? We linked these in V7 but I can't figure out how to do this in V9.

Any ideas please?

Thanks:rolleyes:

This depends on your design/theme, but assuming it's the site in your profile - the smart theme then you need to wrap the link around the logo image for both catalog and brochure pages.

To add the link look for this in the Smart Header Area Layout:

<td><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22Brochure%22"><actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoImage" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Brochure%22"><actinic:variable name="BrochureLogoImage" /></actinic:block></td>


and change it to:

<td><a href="<actinic:variable name="SiteMapPageURL" />"><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22Brochure%22"><actinic:variable name="CompanyLogoImage" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Brochure%22"><actinic:variable name="BrochureLogoImage" /></actinic:block></a></td>


Also to remove the image border then find Standard Company Logo Image Layout and change it from:

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


to:

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


Then do the same for the brochure logo in Standard Brochure Logo Image Layout - change this:

<img
src="<actinic:variable name="BrochureLogo" />"
width="<actinic:variable name="BrochureLogoWidth" />"
height="<actinic:variable name="BrochureLogoHeight" />"
alt="<actinic:variable name="StoreName" />"
class="logoimage">


To this:

<img
src="<actinic:variable name="BrochureLogo" />"
width="<actinic:variable name="BrochureLogoWidth" />"
height="<actinic:variable name="BrochureLogoHeight" />"
alt="<actinic:variable name="StoreName" />"
class="logoimage" border="0">

Thanks Duncan, the theme we are using in V9 is Hotshot - do I follow the same procedure here?

Why not have a normal link to your sitemap on your page and link the logo to the home page which is the norm nowadays. When people get stuck or just want to start again, clicking of the logo has become the things they do more and more. You are taking away from that and i'm struggling to find a valid reason why you'd do that.

Clicking the logo to get to the homepage is enshrined in web usability... changing this can only be a detriment to the site.

Also to remove the image border then find Standard Company Logo Image Layout....

Then do the same for the brochure logo in Standard Brochure Logo Image Layout



class="logoimage">




As the are both using the same class you can add border:none; into the actinic stylesheet.
