Forum link suggestion

I'm new to this forum, so I am sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
I would like to suggest that this forum has a link to the wiki in the header. As a user of phpBB for my own personal use, I am aware that you can place a link in the header by editing the overall_header.html. (ACP >> Styles >> Templates >> Prosilver >> Edit >> overall_header.html).
Then:
FIND:
Code: Select all
<a href="{U_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}">{L_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}</a>
<!-- ENDIF -->
then ADD after:
Code: Select all
•
<a href="http://imslp.org/wiki/">IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library</a>
The final code should look like:
Code: Select all
<a href="{U_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}">{L_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}</a>
<!-- ENDIF -->•
<a href="http://imslp.org/wiki/">IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library</a>
You should get a nice pretty link in the header.

If it is at 3.0.6, it should be there. Are you sure that you have administrative powers? I believe you are a moderator, but can you see a little link at the bottom of the screen that says Administration Control Panel?
EDIT: Another solution to this would be

Yes, of course (I know what ACP stands for
)

The next option is then using FTP.
Go to
Code: Select all
phpBB root >> styles >> prosilver >> template >> overall_header.html
Download this file and open with notepad. (Use a more powerful version, such as Notepad ++ or Notepad 2. Both of these are free to download, and much easier to use.) Then execute the above codes.
However, I suggest using the phpBB buttons menu mod.

Link added via ACP. I backed everything up beforehand so can revert the code if there's a problem. Thanks Dojo. Keep these suggestions coming.

Nice mod, but I quite like the "lean, mean, fighting machine" look of an unmodded PHPbb3 board. Makes it easier to upgrade too. But others may disagree...

The code's still there in the overall_header.html. Hmmm. I suspect someone need to clear the cache - I don't have the necessary admin permission.

I've just received admin permissions that allow me to fix some configuration issues. For example, cookies were set for the domain imslpforums.org and not for imslp.eu, therefore the "remember me" login function could not work. I'll try to gradually fix these minor issues, and implement improvements performed on the old BB that need to be replicated here, like this one.

It seems it works now. At CPDL we replaced the "phpBB creating communities" logo with the CPDL logo, also linking to the main website. I can do the same here if you like, although I understand you probably prefer the "lean, mean, fighting machine" approach.

I'll go along with whatever you do. It does seem lazy
not to change the php logo.
