Thanks it is very useful....

This is a good idea for any forum where people make large posts or copy and paste articles, etc. I added something similar to this to my forum a long time ago but it doesn't have a cool green arrow like this one. Oh and one bug I have on mine is it doesn't work in a post just made in ajax without a page reload for some reason but it's never been that big of a deal for me, just something I thought I would point out for you to test.

Looks good man.

I don't see this part: # Upload the arrow icon to your images folder. (see attachment)

In screenshot left the icon save your hard disk

Ah yes I see it now! Thank you very much! :)

Do you know where in my images folder I should upload it to as there are lots of different folders inside the images folder e.g. icons, buttons, statusicon etc.

Apologies if it's a silly newbie question. :o

[RedHacker]

I had problem with black Ice Style..... Show button down from other buttons.....

[Mihalis]

Very useful mod. Just a suggestion though... the same link appears in PM messages too, not useful there.

Thanx.

[linuxututs]

Thank you so much for this ! I was just trying to remember where I found the code when I added something like this to one of my phpbb boards.

Thanks a 1,000,000

[RedHacker]

I'll look into the Black Ice style this afternoon but it looks like you may need a custom button.

I would check the code for the Thanks button as I'm not sure why the image is stacking on the arrow.
But, you can try the image in this attachment.

How to put this....?

[snappy1313]

Very convenient. Thanks!

Just upload the return-to-top.png to your images folder (forum/images)
Overwrite the old one if its there since this is a custom made for BlackIce style.

[fattony69]

Very convenient. I like it. Nice job Dudditz!

Yes but i upload but this button who created only show to Black Ice

Because the others styles i put the default image of the mod....

[Cybershaolin]

Installed. Nice but it says that it returns to the top of the thread. In fact, it should instead returns to the first post of the thread. If you have a chatbox at top along with other stuff, you get returned to the top of the page....

I see - I assumed you only used a single Style.
This may be added in a future release so that multiple Styles can have different images.

I will possibly add return to post one in future release also, maybe as an admin option.

[RedHacker]

Then wait for the update... :(

[mitch84]

great idea! thank you

[Prettyeyes4you]

Thanks, installed this on our test board and it was working so well that my owner said lets go ahead and put it on the main. Appreciate when things go that well

Let say I would like to go ahead instead of waiting for the update. What should I change in the following code to have it returning to first post instead of top of page?


<![CDATA[eval('$template_hook[postbit_controls] .= "<a href=\"#top\" onclick=\"scroll(0,0); return false;\"><img src=\"' .$vbulletin->options['bburl']. '/images/return-to-top.png\" alt=\"top\" border=\"0\" /></a>";');]]>

[Bilderback]

I've been looking into that.
At first I thought a simple postid link would work but after I thought about it,
what happens if a user is on page 4 of a thread?
Hence, the first postid would not work as it returns to page 1.
So it will take some time for me to figure this one out.

How to put right from groan button...?

[Datok]

Hi,

Would it be possible to make it "Go To Last Post"?

Thank you.

[Bilderback]

@RedHacker
I dont know what the groan button is, but it must use the same template hook.
@Datok
I was working on some admin settings such as last post placement and custom icons per Style used but since vb4 is nearing release, I am waiting to make any decisions.

[RedHacker]

I find in code <plugin active="1" executionorder="5"> change to <plugin active="1" executionorder="6">

[BillieJoe]

Nice one. :)

*installed*

[lostgirl815]

Very nice - thanks!

Question... if I wanted to put it to the left of quick reply, where would I change that? I don't see it in the template.

[bebo2004]

thats good idea
thx

[goshalim]

VEry nice

There is something similar which thge arrow was following you in evry post , it was moving .

I can give out a link if you want

[Dutch_Boy]

4.0 version? I really want it! :)

[Arrogant-One]

<font face="Georgia">Okay, I installed this mod on my forum.

I didn't create a file for the arrow that says Top, I just dragged it into my images folder - so maybe that's whats causing the problem.

Anyway, the problem is for the first post in the thread I get one arrow, in post #2 there are two arrows, in post 3 of the thread there are three arrows in the postbit, and so forth.

Any idea's?</font>

[rasp187]

Looks great. Thanks!

[Arrogant-One]

Looks great. Thanks!

Any suggestions for my little problem?

[ravenscape]

our members on handheld devices love this one, thanks. If I wanted to do a scroll to bottom button like this, how would I do it?

Is there a value to substitute in

onclick=\"scroll(0,0);

?
maybe

onclick=\"scroll(0,99999);

??

[Reedly]

This quickly became an extremely useful and beloved addition to our community...anyone know how to add this feature to Vbulletin4?
