I need to add a custom link to the logo in the header - not hard-coded but from the config file.

TheBrad

I need to make the {link path="home"} to be a URL from the config.php file and have no idea how to do this in Vanilla
All the php code i put in the default.master.tpl gets ignored.

I want to do something link have it set in the config.php like this:
$Configuration['Routes']['CustomUrlLink'] = 'https://customurllink.com';

and then the url would be $CustomUrlLink
so... I guess like: {logo}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This already works

$Configuration['Garden']['Logo'] = 'http://vanillaforums.org/themes/vforg/design/images/logo-vanilla.png';

Though I wouldn't do unless you are using a cdn like location for the file.

Okay so to use it in an href it should be like this?

$Configuration['Garden']['CustomUrlLink'] = 'http://customlinkurl.com';

Then in the default.master.tpl:
< a class="navbar-brand" href="{CustomUrlLink}" >{logo} < /a > - breaks and the page won't load.

Current code is: < a class="navbar-brand" href="{link path="home"}" >{logo}< /a >
I want to be able to set: {link path="home"}.

Is this possible?

You'll need a custom smarty function, see here for some ways to implement that: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/27767/how-to-create-custom-smarty-functions

It could be as easy as that: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/2.1/library/vendors/SmartyPlugins/function.vanillaurl.php

The T() function is also available in Smarty
http://docs.vanillaforums.com/theming/smarty/i18n/

So you can do

{t c="HomeLink"}

and create the file /conf/locale.php

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$Definition['HomeLink'] = 'http://...';

That worked like a charm Bleistivt. Thanks everyone for your help.
