We want to set the text in the upper left hand corner of all sites so that the text is a hyper link back to the main portal page. This way if you are in the Enterprise Search page or the Mysites page, there is a quick link to get back to the main portal. We figured out how to make the link:
$MySite=get-spsite "https://portal.mycompany.com" $MySite.WebApplication.SuiteBarBrandingElementHtml = '<a class="ms-core-brandingText" href="https://portal.mycompany.com" >MyCompany Intranet</a>' $MySite.WebApplication.update()
The only problem with this is that the color of the link is wrong. It comes out purple (#639) (a:visited) on a blue back ground instead of white on a blue background (we want it to always be white). I am guessing that I need to update the ms-core-brandingText in a style sheet, but I cannot figure out what the right way to do that is... I have developers who know CSS, but none know SharePoint (we are running SharePoint 2013)... Can someone get me pointed in the right direction...
We are using the default look and have not created a custom theme. Having no SharePoint developers we are trying to keep the configuration simple if possible.
