XF 2.0 Change link in widget title or remove link altogether?

[Cg1644]

I made a custom widget in sidebar and the posts all go to a certain room but the title of the widget is still going to the new posts page. Can I edit the title of the widget to go to the correct room? I have searched every template and phrase for days with no luck! Please help!

Hello,

You want to change the link of your title in the widget if I understood correctly ?

Regards, SyTry

 

[Cg1644]

Yes that is correct.

 

[SyTry]

Yes that is correct.

For example :

<h3 class="block-minorHeader">
    <a href="{{ link('members/tpm') }}">
        {$title}
    </a>
</h3>

So i should add that to my extra.less? do I replace members/tpm with the link I want? Sorry, this is all so new to me.

Its just one widget title I want to change not all of them....

My example is the widget made by xenMade for TPM, this is the title
I can help you if you give me your code, or by PM if you don't want to make it public.

This is my widget_new_posts template. The thing is I made my own content for the block, thats why I want to change the link cause its linking to the new poats page because that is the widget I used, so I am hoping this is the right template.

<xf:if is="$threads is not empty OR ($threads is empty AND $filter != 'latest')">
    <div class="block"{{ widget_data($widget) }}>
        <div class="block-container">
            <xf:if is="$style == 'full'">
                <h3 class="block-header">

[SyTry]

You mean this widget ?


Now I don't understand what you want anymore because I also have this widget but it's not a modification I made.

I will send you a private message. lol

    </div>
</xf:if>

You would just edit this line in your code <a href="{$link}" rel="nofollow">{$title}</a> to <a href="https://LINK/" rel="nofollow">{$title}</a>
Or remove and leave {$title}.
The h3's is the link and title.
<h3 class="block-header">
<a href="{$link}" rel="nofollow">{$title}</a>
</h3>

You could add your own link and name if you want.

<h3 class="block-header">
<a href="SITELINK" rel="nofollow">MY NAME</a>
</h3>

I used something like this in widget_new_posts, it could probably be done better, but it works for me:

                <h3 class="block-minorHeader">
                    <xf:if is="$title == 'Yourwidgettitle'">
                    <a href="/categories/6/" rel="nofollow">{$title}</a>
                    <xf:elseif is="$title == 'Anotherwidgettitle'" />
                    <a href="/forums/4/" rel="nofollow">{$title}</a>
                    <xf:else />
                    <a href="{$link}" rel="nofollow">{$title}</a>
                    </xf:if>
                </h3>
