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>

Click on your banner, and see if the link you added to the script, takes you to the link you provided.
Best,
Jen

I appreciate this. However, nothing is working.

We had a developer alter the css and to remove the network name.

Jenn, how to let the link open in a new tab/window?

[Martin Stratton]

I really appreciate this code... it works, except I would like to open this link in a different browser window.  I tried using    target="_blank" in the code and I am not able to find the right way for this to work.  I am using the Header module differently and would like this to click through and still have my network open.

 

Any suggestions on this?

 

Thank you for your help and support, Marty Stratton
