Hi,

In gallery there is a small button in the top left hand corner that links back to the homepage of the gallery.

I would like to change this link to return to a different website homepage but although i have tried everything i can't figure out how to change the link.

Please could someone forward me the details on how to change it, please bear in mind that i have limited knowledge on PHP so i would need the exact location of the page to modify etc.

Thanks in advance.
Jamie

I don't know how out of date this is, ask if you run into problems:

Ah, things have changed a bit since that code was written. This is very easy now.

First take /modules/core/templates/blocks/BreadCrumb.tpl and copy that to /themes/YourTheme/templates/core_1/blocks/BreadCrumb.tpl

You'll probably need to create the core_1/blocks directories

Now open up your copy of BreadCrumb.tpl, near the top of the code you'll see this:

<div class="{$class}">
  {foreach name=parent from=$theme.parents item=parent}
  <a href="{g->url params=$parent.urlParams}" class="BreadCrumb-{counter name="BreadCrumb"}">
    {$parent.title|markup:strip|default:$parent.pathComponent}</a>
  {if isset($separator)} {$separator} {/if}
  {/foreach}

Just add the bit in bold:

<div class="{$class}">
  <a href="/" class="BreadCrumb-{counter name="BreadCrumb"}">Home</a>
  {foreach name=parent from=$theme.parents item=parent}
  <a href="{g->url params=$parent.urlParams}"> class="BreadCrumb-{counter name="BreadCrumb"}">
    {$parent.title|markup:strip|default:$parent.pathComponent}</a>
  {if isset($separator)} {$separator} {/if}
  {/foreach}

Where do i add the actual link bit in? do i do it in the core_1 or the templates copy?

This is what i tried in both of them but neither works, it still links to the gallery home page.

<a href="/" class="BreadCrumb-{counter name="BreadCrumb"}">http://www.cotswoldkoi.co.uk</a>

Going to http://www.cotswoldkoi.co.uk/gallery looks like it's working to me.

Oh wait, are you wanting to change where your logo links to? See step 5 here:
