Adding links in header to pages outside my site

[msg82256]

My header has links for CART, CHECKOUT and MY ACCOUNT. I want to add a few links to pages that are outside of my website, and one to a top level Homepage. For the life of me, I can't find a posting that explains how to do this.

 

Any help is appreciated.

You just use regular html:

<tr>
<td><a href="http://some_url.com>Home<?a></td>
</tr>

It is not recommended to do so since you are apt to lose the session ID's.

I tried inserting your code with my own url but keep getting a parse error. Can I insert the html right into the line in header.php (right around line 58). Here is the line of code that I'm trying to add my link to:

	<td align="right" valign="bottom"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?>  </td>

 

Thanks

When you insert html code into php code you have to precede the html code with

?>

and place this after the html code

<?php

<td align="right" valign="bottom"> <tr>

<td>?><a href="http://some_url.com>Home<?a><?php</td>

</tr> <?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?> </td>

Of course I changed some_url.com to my own link pictureh.com

Try this

<td align="right" valign="bottom">
<a href="http://some_url.com>Home</a>
<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?> </td>
