Changing Link on the Header Logo

[dylan2013]

I'm a newbie and looking to change the url for the link on my logo in the header. Here's the site:

 

shop.donnabsbakery.com

 

The logo currently links back to our prestashop home page, but I would like to change it to link to this site:

 

donnabsbakery.com

 

Is there a way to do this through the Prestashop backend feature, or do I need to change it in the ftp files?

 

Thanks!

You will need to change the link in the header.tpl of your theme.

 

Hope that helps!

Anybody knows how to do this in version 1.7?

Personally I don't find it very useful to linke somewhere out of your shop. But I you want to change, open header.tpl in your themes folder.
There you find these code appx. starting on line #103:

                        <div class="container">
                            <div class="row">
                                <div id="header_logo">
                                    <a href="{if isset($force_ssl) && $force_ssl}{$base_dir_ssl}{else}{$base_dir}{/if}" title="{$shop_name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">
                                        <img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$logo_url}" alt="{$shop_name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"{if isset($logo_image_width) && $logo_image_width} width="{$logo_image_width}"{/if}{if isset($logo_image_height) && $logo_image_height} height="{$logo_image_height}"{/if}/>
                                    </a>
                                </div>
                                {if isset($HOOK_TOP)}{$HOOK_TOP}{/if}
                            </div>
                        </div>

Change the link (in line 4 according to above code) as follows:

                                    <a href="https://mynewurl.com" title="Back to start page">

Plese use the appropriate protocol as part to the link. And report back.

Hi Scully.

Thanks for replying. I looked inside my Themes folder and I found two files header.tpl anyway I modified both but nothing happen. both are in a _partial folder.

the reason I want to change this link is because initially I am using the shop as a product catalog ( link from my main website to the store), so I want to provide a way to go back to the main website.

 

{block name='header'}

  {block name='header_nav'}

    <nav class="header-nav">

      <div class="container">

        <div class="row">

          <div class="col-md-6 hidden-sm-down" id="_desktop_logo">

            <a href="https://xxxxx.com">

              <img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$shop.logo}" alt="{$shop.name} {l s='logo' d='Shop.Theme.Global'}">

            </a>

          </div>

          <div class="col-md-6 text-xs-right hidden-sm-down">

            {hook h='displayNav1'}

You haven't mentionned which theme you are using and also not your prestashop version. For 1.6 and 1.7. with default-bootstrap or classic template there is only one header.tpl file existing. In 1.7. the changes are to be maded at appx. line 62.

          <a href="{$urls.base_url}">
            <img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$shop.logo}" alt="{$shop.name}">
          </a>

I am using 1.7.2.2 and using the classic template. Navigating thru the whole themes folder I found two header.tpl.... one inside themes/classic/templates/_partials

and another one inside themes/classic/templates/checkout/_partials. I modified both as follows

{block name='header'}

{block name='header_nav'}

<nav class="header-nav">

<div class="container">

<div class="row">

<div class="col-md-6 hidden-sm-down" id="_desktop_logo">

<a href="https://el-portal.com.mx" title="Regreso a página principal">

<img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$shop.logo}" alt="{$shop.name}">

</a>

</div>

line start at 25

 

But nothing happen. No change in the link

You may need to delete your cash or force recompile. Usually this kind of change is made in only one minute.
