How To Change the Default Header Link on a Ning Network

[Jen]

How to change the default header link/url on your Ning Network:
Note: These instructions only work if you upload your header image/logo as the Network Logo.


If you have uploaded a header image via My Network/Settings/Appearance/All Options/Network Logo, and you want the header link to be something different than the default, which is your Ning Network home page - - follow these instructions:

1. Add the code below to your Custom Code Box, via My Network/Tools/Custom Code.
2. Change the yahoo link to your link of choice.
3. Click on SAVE.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
  var href_src = "http://www.yahoo.com";
  x$("#application_name_header_link").attr("href", href_src);
}
</script>

I created a landing/splash page. How I can make the whole website (not only the banner) default to a specific url or more specifically http://www.unifiedteamdiving.com/main. Currently when the type in my URL they get the splash landing then they click community and they get http://www.unifiedteamdiving.com/main my main ning page. When they click the banner now they get that /main url which is awesome. I also fixed the home button to do the same. So now my only problem is when the user signs up for a new account it currently default to my splash/landing page and not the main page and therefore they get confused as there is no sign in box on my splash page. I want it to default to http://www.unifiedteamdiving.com/main

TIA

I'd like to know how to do this as well please! Did you ever get an answer for this, Andrew? I'm assuming we can access Cookies somehow to do this?

I have this working, but now need to have two different areas of the header image link to different places. We are adding a graphic with a "Register Now" button that I want to go to my registration page, but leave the rest of the header clickable to my home page. Is there any way to create a div over a specific spot on the header image that is clickable?
