[Marathon Computers]

I would like to add a Home link so that it is more out in the open, and goes back to the main page of my site? i would like to put it up here, but i dont know how or the code to insert.

 

Thank you.

Use this code

<tr>
<td><?php echo '<a title="Some Title Here - Use keywords" href="' . tep_href_link('/', '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . "Home" . '</a>'; ?></td>
</tr>

Then in includes/functions/html_output.php, find this code

function tep_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true) {
   global $request_type, $session_started, $SID;

   if (!tep_not_null($page)) {
     die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br><br><font color="#ff0000"><b>Error!</b></font><br><br><b>Unable to determine the page link!<br><br>');
   }

   if ($connection == 'NONSSL') {
     $link = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG;
   } elseif ($connection == 'SSL') {
     if (ENABLE_SSL == true) {
       $link = HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG;
     } else {
       $link = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG;
     }
   } else {
     die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br><br><font color="#ff0000"><b>Error!</b></font><br><br><b>Unable to determine connection method on a link!<br><br>Known methods: NONSSL SSL</b><br><br>');
   }

and right after it add

if ($page === '/')                      /*added by me for links without a page - these links will have two slashes */ 
   $page = str_replace("/", "", $page);  /*this code will remove one of the slashes */

the first one is in the index ???

You could also just change the Text "Top" to "Home"

 

...so instead of Top >> Catalog

 

it will say Home >> Catalog

 

IMO

no, i want it to stick out so that people do not have to look for it, unless there is a way to make it stick out better.

It depends on where you want it to be displayed. To go in the breadcrumb as indicated, change the code in incudes/header.php. The code to edit is

   <td class="headerNavigation">  <?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(' » '); ?></td>
   <td align="right" class="headerNavigation"><?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a>  |  <?php } ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a>   </td>
 </tr>

Is there any way to add a new infobox,

link to eBay?

I try the "contribute",

but it's too complex,

I just need a simple link with or without eBay/my otherwebsite image,

and open a new window after click,

Thank you.

The PageMaker contribution will do this for you.
