Summary0007158: Change Mantis top logo link to internal link
Description

The top Mantis logo currently links to the Mantis home page (http://www.mantisbt.org/). The large logo on the top of a web page usually links to the web site index page. (not an external site)

Users of Mantis who click on this logo are likely not interested in visiting the Mantis website, and this non-standard behavior can be a little frustrating. Users or administrators who are interested in more information about Mantis can find links to the project at the bottom of the page.

It would be good if the link in the top logo could be changed to point to the main page.

If a change were to be made the change is as follows:
/core/html_api.php : line 287

CHANGE FROM:
echo '<a href="http://www.mantisbt.org" title="Mantis Bugtracker"><img border="0" width="238" height="78" alt="Mantis Bugtracker" src="images/mantis_logo.gif" /></a>';

CHANGE TO:
echo '<a href="main_page.php" title="Mantis Bugtracker"><img border="0" width="238" height="78" alt="Mantis Bugtracker" src="images/mantis_logo.gif" /></a>';

TagsNo tags attached.

This issue does sounds similar to an unbranded Mantis, however that is not what is being suggested.

The large logo on most web sites take the user to the root of the application, not an external site. If there is disagreement on the previous statement, I suggest closing this issue. If it is though to be true, please alter the link to point to the root of the application.

Through the unbranding process, you will be able to modify the link and main logo to be whatever you want. So if you wish to put your own logo and link to your homepage in place of the Mantis logo and link to the Mantis homepage, that is easily done.

Again, I don't think we're talking about wanting to change the Mantis logo, nor wanting to link it to an arbitrary intranet site. Rather, we're talking about wanting the Mantis logo to always go to the root of the local Mantis installation when clicked. I think this would be a very good idea.

We can change the link associated with the Mantis top logo to refer to the configured default home page (typically main_page or my view page).
