Title: WB2 edit to header_menu help required
Post by: raewyn64 on June 15, 2013, 09:18:01 PM
Hello again

I have my own web site and I have a link on it which takes anyone to my Weather Blues 2 site. I want to do the same on my Weather Blues 2 site with a menu button that will take viewers back to my website.

I have got into the header_menu.php file and edited it to add another button to my header screen which is called "Website".  That has come up fine on my Weather Blues2 header.  However i cannot get the link right for it automatically take the viewer to my web site.

So here is what I have
Firstly the line i have added in header_menu.php is
<li><a href="index.html" title="Website Home"><span>Website</span></a></li>

I know that the "index.html" is part of the problem.

My web page structure works like this

website homepage is rdr.co.nz/index.html

in ftp it sits as follows
public_html/index.html

My weather sits off
public_html/weather/index.php

My problem is how can I tell my button called website to open up rdr.co.nz/index.html?

Can anyone help me please?
Thanks so much - really enjoying this weaterh website  :-*

Hi Raewyn,

What you want is to call a file in "parent" folder (1 level up).
To do so, you just add ../ before filename:

...a href="../index.html"....
