Changing the logo action

You can change the default action of a logo to take users to different pages in your portal.

The default logo action takes users to your portal home page. The logo can complete three other actions:

• The logo can take users to the first child page.
• The logo can take users to another portal page with the unique ID of that page.

• The logo can take users to another portal page with the vanity URL of that page.

• Taking users to the first child page

  Remove the default code and replace it with the following code :

  <%-- Logo --%>
      <li>
          <span class="wpthemeBranding">
          <portal-core:lazy-set var="showHiddenPages" elExpression=="wp.publicRenderParam['{http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/portal/publicparams}hiddenPages']" />
          <portal-logic:if deviceClass="smartphone/tablet">
              <c:set var="isMobile" value="true"/>
          </portal-logic:if>
          <c:set var="homeNodeFound" value="false"/>
          <c:forEach var="node" items="${wp.navigationModel.children[selectionPath[1]]}" varStatus="childrenStatus">
            <c:set var="isHiddenPage" value="${node.metadata['com.ibm.portal.Hidden'] || (isMobile && node.metadata['com.ibm.portal.mobile.Hidden'])}" />
            <c:if test="${!homeNodeFound && (!isHiddenPage || showHiddenPages)}">
              <c:set var="nodeID" value="${wp.identification[node]}"/>
              <a class="wpthemeBrandingLink" href="?uri=nm:oid:${nodeID}" alt="<portal-fmt:out>${node.title}</portal-fmt:out>">
              <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" alt="<portal-fmt:text key="theme.ibmLogo" bundle="nls.commonUI"/>">
              </a>
              <span class="wpthemeAltText"><portal-fmt:text key="theme.ibmLogo" bundle="nls.commonUI"/></span>
              <c:set var="homeNodeFound" value="true"/>
            </c:if>
          </c:forEach>
          </span>
      </li>
  

• Taking users to another portal page with its unique ID

  Remove the following line of default code:

  <a class="wpthemeBrandingLink" href="?uri=nm:oid:${nodeID}" alt="<portal-fmt:out>${node.title}</portal-fmt:out>">
  

  Replace it with the following code snippet, where the value of contentNode is replaced with the unique name of the page:

  <portal-navigation:urlGeneration contentNode="ibm.portal.Home.Welcome" >
              <a class="wpthemeBrandingLink" href="<% wpsURL.write(escapeXmlWriter); %>" alt="">
              </portal-navigation:urlGeneration>
  

• Taking users to another portal page with its vanity URL

  Remove the following line of default code:

  <a class="wpthemeBrandingLink" href="?uri=nm:oid:${nodeID}" alt="<portal-fmt:out>${node.title}</portal-fmt:out>">
  

  Replace it with the following code snippet, where host, port, and contextroot are substituted with your actual values and where Home is replaced with the vanity URL of your page:

  <a class="wpthemeBrandingLink" href="http://host:port/contextroot/vanityurl/Home" alt="">
