Topic: logo linking to active page/gallery instead of site root

I've just gotten my new site going and am pleased so far; however, I can't get the main logo link to cooperate.

While at the root level site engelphotographic.com the logo links correctly back to that page. Unfortunately once you navigate into an interior gallery, the logo only links back to that same gallery, not back to the site home/root.

I noticed that the demo site showkase.net/demos/sarahlee/landscape , which also appears to be using Kosel, does seem to have correctly behaving logo links within the galleries.

Any ideas how to correct this behavior? I've already attempted rebuilding the galleries, but that didn't help.

It looks like your 'Site header link' is empty.
Go to 'Site -> Site Settings', scroll down to the 'Site Header' section, enter /home/ in the 'Site header link' text field and then click 'Update' and 'Publish'.

I was having the same issue, the /home/ thing did not work but /#1 did!

Re: logo linking to active page/gallery instead of site root

Using /home/ as the path worked for the original poster as his Showkase home page was actually named 'home'.
If you have installed Showkase to your root directory, then you could just use the name of your own home page in between the two slashes (the leading slash denotes your root directory) or even a single slash would do (as you currently use). Either option will work as a Showkase site's home page can be viewed from the Showkase root directory (e.g. http://www.example.com/showkase/ or from within the home page's own directory, e.g. http://www.example.com/showkase/home/).

If you have installed Showkase into a subdirectory, then you will need to include this in the path.

In your case, a single slash will work fine as long as you have installed Showkase to your root directory. (The #1 will display the first image in a Juicebox gallery, which may not be necessary in the path.)

You could also have used an absolute path (such as http://www.example.com/showkase/home/).
However, please do not use a relative path as the path would have to be relative to two different locations at once (the Showkase root directory and the home page directory).

Therefore, either a path using the leading slash notation or an absolute path would be suitable.

I hope this helps to clarify things.
