Unable to modify Logo Icon Link in bfa_header_configuration:

If I change this:

if ( $bfa_ata['logo'] != "" )
{
echo '<td ' . $header_rowspan . 'valign="middle" class="logoarea-logo"><a href=""><img class="logo" src="';

to:

if ( $bfa_ata['logo'] != "" )
{
echo '<td ' . $header_rowspan . 'valign="middle" class="logoarea-logo"><a href="mysite.com"><img class="logo" src="';


The link on the logo merely appends to the current page.
So if a user is on:

http://mysite.com/page9
and clicks on logo
user will encounter a 404 page not found because URL is appended to:

http://mysite.com/page9/mysite.com

I would like to direct users back to home page.

Please help.

Thanks.

try using an absolute URI

mysite.com is a relative one, and thus gets appended indeed

I'm not wure what you want to do. The logo is set up to link back to the home/landing page by default. Are you trying to get it to link somewhere else?

rather than linking back to the library home page, I want to link to another URL

What version of Atahualpa?
and what is teh wordpress url (dashboard->settings->general)?

that doesnt work?

what do you mean by an absolute URL?

Why wouldn't this work:

if ( $bfa_ata['logo'] != "" )
{
echo '<td ' . $header_rowspan . 'valign="middle" class="logoarea-logo"><a href="mysite.com"><img class="logo" src="';

isn't mysite.com absolute?

you are missing the 'http://' you need to code it as

			// Logo Icon for Wordpress and WPMU
			if ( $bfa_ata['logo'] != "" ) 
			{ 
				echo '<td ' . $header_rowspan . 'valign="middle" class="logoarea-logo"><a href="http://mysite.com"><img class="logo" src="';

an absolute URI means the complete link: protocol + domainname + full path

f.e. http://www.mysite.com/mypath/

Why wouldn't this work:

if ( $bfa_ata['logo'] != "" )
{
echo '<td ' . $header_rowspan . 'valign="middle" class="logoarea-logo"><a href="mysite.com"><img class="logo" src="';

because its not an absolute URI

thus its considered to be a relative URI by wordpress and thus gets appended to your baseurl

isn't mysite.com absolute?

Err ... Guess 1 time.

Just use the code you had in post #1 .. but use the absolute URI to the page you want your logo to link to.
