Within the Socialize admin pages on the "Theme" page there is a box to input the sitename as a text logo. That works fine. However, in the case where Joomla is installed in a subdirectory of website (homepage/joomla) the link that it outputs for our domain name there is the Joomla subdirectory and not our domain's homepage.

Currently, I'm having to redirect that link via our .htaccess file. But that also means that our main Joomla page is not accessible.

Is there perhaps someway to override that to link to our domain's homepage instead of linking to the Joomla root page?

Thanks. -- Rik

PS: If not possible, please consider adding this feature as many people operate Joomla from a subdirectory of their site.

Hi, Rik.

I assign template developer to this thread.

Hi Rik Brown,
As it is not common case, I would suggest you to override the logo template here
root/templates/socialize/tpls/blocks/header-jb.php at line 24
replace any link at the href attribute.
like

<a href="<?php echo JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($sitename) ?>">

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com" title="<?php echo strip_tags($sitename) ?>">

Ashraf:

Thank you for the fix.

While it may not be the most common case that Joomla is not installed in the root of domain (it's the 2nd most common case), a template shouldn't force the Joomla installation into the domain root (Joomla itself doesn't do so). Larger sites (we have ~1 million pages) often don't want to tie up their domain root with the clutter of Joomla files and perhaps those of other programs. Also, Joomla is secondary to our company and our core functions which are more important are therefore located in our root.

Hopefully you can consider (in the future) giving the template this flexibility that Joomla itself already has.

Thanks. -- Rik
