Is there any way for me to change the address of the Home button (in the main menu and elsewhere) such that it points to a url of my choice? I have both an index.html and index.php page in my root XOOPS directory and everything defaults to the index.html page (when I want it to go to the index.php).

Thanks!

Not easy to find is it? I traced it to the tpl_source table.

The tpl_id for the record is 19.
if you do not see the code block below (which is what you need to alter), then look in the tpl_file table for system_block_mainmenu.html and use the corresponding tpl_id to find the code in the tpl_source table.

^read it again, it will make sense eventually.

Dont waste your time looking for system_block_mainmenu.html you won't find it, it is not a file.

Once you find the code block in the dB put your URL in between all my pretty stars.







I don't think there should be any implications, but I make no warranty...I did NOT test it.

.....Personally I would change the 'default page' for the directory on the Web server, you can give a pagename and extension in order, syntax varies by webserver.

or you could go to "System" -> "Templates" and modify the system_block_mainmenu.html template in the system module.

ackbarr,

you make it so easy...
just started and finished in the dB, missed that there was a real file.

Thank you everyone,

I made the change to my system_block_mainmenu.html (hard coded the entire html link) and everything works wonderfully!

Watch soon for my announcement on this site re-write.
