How To Change Home Button

Post by hannaconner »

I am struggling with trying to change the URL of the top menu home button. In Other CMS systems, such as Joomla, this is very simple to do, as you can directly edit the link that is associated with any button, but with CMSMS you seemly need to jump through hoops to make this change, as all of the links are relative to the document root that you set in the config.php file. In this case, the site in question is a subdomain, and I need to have the HOME button return users to the top level site, not the document root of the subdomain. Can someone provide very specific instructions on how to accomplish this change?

It depends on how you're setting up the site, but if I'm understanding correctly, you could change the Home page in Content Manager to be a redirecting link, and enter the url appropriately.

Most navigation is tied to Content Manager, but you can always do it yourself directly like you would in Joomla - either edit the Navigator template or your page template, depending on your use case.

This is indeed very simple in cmsms.
You can create new content and select external link.
Then you can give this menu item the name you want and enter de link to the (sub)site.
See attachment.

You can even give the content a different name and set the menu text to ' Home'.

Good luck
