I was wondering where I go to change this line

<div id="location">
<a href="/" class="bread-crumb">Home</a>

to

<div id="location">
<a href="www.uscandleco.com" class="bread-crumb">Home</a>

I wanna drop the "/" and use "www.uscandleco.com" instead.
Thanks.

If you are using Windows you can use Search tool (F3). Just search for all files (*.*) in a directory containing your string. If you want only tpl, just use this sequence *.tpl.

I prefer to give you this solution instead of mentioning the right file. You will discover it is a great tip.

PS Do you think is a good idea for SEO to use a domain name in your breadcrumb?

Hi Addison,
the line am looking for is in a .tpl file but the "home" location is a variable pulled from some where else. I already know what .tpl file the lines of code are from that I posted earlier, that is where I copied the lines from. The "/" is being set somewhere else but I'm not sure where. I am familiar with the search tool, I use it quite a lot. You are correct that it is very handy.

As far as the SEO goes, I'm not sure if it really matters much but I've read a few places that having the url is better so I want to give it a shot.

Search for that variable inside php files. I am using Sublime Text as editor and finding variables inside files is so easy.

Replace...

<a href="{$l.1|amp}" class="bread-crumb{if $smarty.foreach.location.last} last-bread-crumb{/if}">{if $webmaster_mode eq "editor"}{$l.0}{else}{$l.0|amp}{/if}</a>

With...

<a href="{if $l.0|amp eq "Home"}{$http_location}{else}{$l.1|amp}{/if}" class="bread-crumb{if $smarty.foreach.location.last} last-bread-crumb{/if}">{if $webmaster_mode eq "editor"}{$l.0}{else}{$l.0|amp}{/if}</a>

Though as Addison says, not sure it's advisable.

Having too many links to the homepage is not good for SEO.

Interesting article

Thanks Phil and Addison. I still haven't decided if I want to make the switch to the URL yet. I do have a few other places that have the absolute url instead of the relative so those may be enough. I'll check out the article you posted, thanks for that.
