XF 2.2 Change lightening icon to a home icon and link

[eaststandboy]

Hello

How would i change the lightening icon link to my forum home page and replace is with a home icon?

 

[Mr Lucky]

I'm not sure it's the best way , but it should work to change bolt to home in template app_nav.less and possibly forum_overview_wrapper

EDIT:

Probably better than editing app_nav.less is to add this to template extra.less

.p-navgroup-link
{

&.p-navgroup-link--whatsnew i:after
    {
        .m-faContent(@fa-var-home); //, .63em

    }
}

Hey, so changing to fa-var-home changes the lighting to home icon, but i want that to link to my forum home page. How can the link be changed?

 

[Mr Lucky]

In Basic Options set forums page to new posts

Hi, I want the home button to take users here: https://yellowsforum.co.uk/ - not the new posts section.

 

[Mr Lucky]

The link is in PAGE_CONTAINER template, so you could change <a href="{{ link('whats-new') }}"

to <a href="/"

You should alsoto change the phrase whats_new to home in the code just below that

aria-label="{{ phrase('whats_new')|for_attr }}"
title="{{ phrase('whats_new')|for_attr }}">

You can help this guy a thousand times and he will never say thank you for your help, he will not even bother to say if it worked or not... I stopped, frankly we don't help members here to receive thanks but because we ourselves were helped and it is a fair return, but the least we can do is be at least polite, even grateful... for the most educated.

Sorry, quite often I post Q's and I do forget to come back and reply. I often read the replies from my email and not the forum.

I understand your sentiment and frustration if not for many members as well. I believe that the majority of issues arise due to a language issue. (not just this particular member)
Please, at the least mark a solution for others to know what worked.

I often fall into that trap as well...

You mean in this case it may have helped if he was a saints supporter

Worked a treat thanks!

Glad it worked.

 

[eaststandboy]

Is there a way of changing the order in which they appear? Would that be in the nav_app or page_container template?

Thanks

 

[Mr Lucky]

I think they are all in PAGE_CONTAINER - it should be easy enough to see what is conversations, alerts etc. Be careful they are big chunks of code.

IMO what you are doing here is overcomplicating things as there is already a link to home from the off canvas menu and the logo. These days most people know that the Logo is a home link and many developers/designers are dropping the home link.

Hey the issue was on mobile, when you scroll down the loge disappears.

Well that is possibly an issue with your style because the Logo should stick in the bar at the top on mobile (once the hamburger appears) when scrolling down, as it does here on xenForo.com
