Logo Custom Link In Helix
Roderick
Hello,
I am currently working on the Travus template, which uses the Helix 2.1.2 framework. I would like to modify the company logo so that clicking on it opens a specific hyperlink in a new tab.
I came across the Helix documentation for version 2.0.12, which mentions an option called āLogo Custom Linkā under the āBasicā > āLogoā settings. However, upon checking in version 2.1.2 (as used in the Travus template), I noticed that this option is no longer available.
Iāve also searched the forums, and some users suggest editing the logo.php file. While I have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, Iām not a programmer and Iām not entirely sure where or how to add the hyperlink within the PHP file.
Could you kindly guide me on how to safely insert a custom hyperlink in the logo.php file? Ideally, Iād like the link to open in a new browser tab. Alternatively, is there a way to enable or restore the āLogo Custom Linkā feature in this version of Helix?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rod

Accepted AnswerHi Rod, indeed that feature (new link option) was implemented inside Helix Ultimate template 3 years after Travus template was developed, so it do not have it :/
Using basic HTML knowledge you should be able to add that link manually. Even if logo.php file looks scary, it has basic code inside.
Tip (step by step):
- Edit file by using HTML editor (or built-in Joomla editor):
\features\logo.php(from template folder) - Find line 68 and 81 with
$html .= '<a href="' . Uri::base(true) . '/">'; - Remove current content inside " " and put your own link, for example,
$html .= '<a href="/contact">'; - Save changes, upload changed file
- You may also change file permission from 644 to 444.
