Custom link in nav -- or somewhere

[Jay Harper]

Ok, I set my xenforo up on a subdomain, talk.redapplelipstick.com and I need a way to let users easily find their way back to our main site at www.redapplelipstick.com

I was thinking about a link in the main nav but I'm open to any suggestions.

Anybody have any ideas or best practices?

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Home Page URL

Entering a URL there will create a "Home" tab in the navbar.

Any way to change the word HOME to Shop RedAppleLipstick.com

and are there any provisions for placing advertisements any where?

Thanks for your help.

If you want your own custom tab then I recommend this addon:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/

You can use this addon with link-forums to create external links as tabs.

Or you can use a template edit, but I prefer the addon method:

Ok I installed the addon, but I am not sure it provides a way to link the tab offsite.

And do you know of any addons that allow for ads to be displayed on the site?

Found this http://xenforo.com/community/resources/custom-sidebar-block.211/
And that will certainly help.

This is the SMARTEST forum software I have EVER seen!

Use a link-forum and make it a tab.

Awesome thanks!

Sorry, but another question. Did I see somewhere, on this forum, a bit of scrolling text at the top of a forum once the user entered it? I could have sworn I did but cannot find it again.

Notices scroll if you have more than one.
