Clickable top banner
pruser - September 9, 2008 - 01:02
I'm trying to make top image banner on web page clickable/referer.
I put this code into page.tpl.php in my themes folder: <a href="/sk/" > <img src="./sites/all/themes/darsch/img/header13.gif" alt="home" width="960" height="265"></a>
but it gives me a problems: it doesn't work on all pages and for anonymous user - only when i'm logged in and also different browsers gives different results.
before there was a div with css property background image but it wasn't clickable/refering.
what's may be the best way to make it work? Is it bad idea to put html code into php generated page?
thanks

Remove the dot at the front
Remove the dot at the front of the path so './sites/...' becomes '/sites/...'
dot
i had it without a dot and it didn't work either. but i removed it anyway
So what does not work mean?

if you follow the link you
if you follow the link you can see that it works only on two pages out of seven.
It has to do with your
It has to do with your themes page.tpl.php, it is generating different html based on something. In the case where the link does not work the image comes from a header div.

it works here, i had to put complete path, not just relative path:
<a href="/sk/"> <img src="http://testonly.rachot.sk/sk/sites/pathtothemefolder/img/header13.gif" alt="podvod" width="960" height="265"></a>i don't think its 100% secure but it works. probably should go to php function or something.
Use $base_path & $directory
If you are working with a template based on the phptemplate engine, use
<?php print $base_path . $directory; ?>for all links, this will work when you are running from a sub-folder or a sub-domain.The function calls are
base_path()andpath_to_theme(), just in case the above variables are out of scope.Eg:
<a href="<?php print base_path(); ?>"> <img src="<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme(); ?>/img/header13.gif" alt="podvod" width="960" height="265"></a>Alan Davison
