Add a link to home in CMS Block

[ismoran]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm sure there must be a way to add a link to the homepage from the CMS info block, but can't find a solution.

 

Any ideas, please?

Are you looking to link from a cms page or the info block itself.

 

Not sure one can do the latter but linking from cms page just add the url for your home page as a link in the cms page. there is an icon on the top row of the text editor. (PS1.3.2)

Thank you for your reply.

 

I wanted a link in the CMS Block to the Homepage (eg. above "About us" in the Information Block)

I can't help thinking that this must be possible. I thought everyone would want a link back to their homepage (in addition to using the logo as a link).

The only way I can think of is hardcoding it in blockcms module

 

<ul class="block_content">

<li class="bullet"><b style="margin-left:2em;"><a href="http://www.designplus-shop.co.uk/" title="Design Plus">Home</a>

</b></li>

<li class="bullet"><b style="margin-left:2em;">

<a href="{$cms_page.link}" title="{$cms_page.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$cms_page.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

</b></li>

...

Thank you so much - that's worked perfectly.

 

I really appreciate your help!

Another way to do it. It does require DB access.

 

Add a "Home" link to the CMS and set the "Link_rewrite" to something.... anything that you will reconize. Like CHANGEME.

 

Go into the DB and go to 'cms_lang'

Find your "Home" meta title

Change the "Link_rewrite" to "../../../../"

 

I had to do it this way because i have multiple CMS blocks and only wanted home in one of them. Hope this helps.

Another way to work around this, is to install the "Link Block" module, then you can add any links you want, both internal and external.
