To The Top Button
 

This is a rather small product and it was something which I used to add to our forums everytime an update occured. Now with a news template hook on the right place, which was in 3.6.6 released this edit is finally a thing from the past and I made a product out of it. I used the product, as one phrase needs to be added. It's small, but I think that's ok :) I personally don't know if anyone also had this idea. However the code was all developed by myself :)

What it does:
It adds a graphic to every postbit to the right of quick-reply. It's an arrow which points to the top and upon a click brings you to the top of each page. This is very handy if you are down into a loooong page and want quick access to the navbar i.e. It works both with postbit and postbit_legacy.

What to do:
0 template edits
1 file to be uploaded (an image)
1 xml-file to be imported
1 phrase added
1 template added

Please click install, if you use this product.

didn't work for me, the image doesn't show. most likely because i have a custom postbit legacy template? Any idea what i need to manually add to my template to get the button to show? thanks!

<i>Didn't work for me either...even did an overwrite with the xml...</i>

didn't work for me too :(

Alternate solution is.

edit template postbit/postbit_legacy

find
add above
upload your arrow picture like (top.gif) to /images/buttons

see results

PS. you can also use another place for the arrow picture in the template

The template MUST have $template_hook[postbit_controls] in it, which hasn't been added until version 3.6.6 and if you have custom postbits, you need to revert first or add this template hook.

@hcmagix: Of course it can also be done like this, but it's more nifty without template edits ;)

Heh... I've been doing this on my forum for a while now too after seeing it on an IPB forum once. I too thought about using the postbit template hook for it. Nice to see someone else took the initiative and did it! :)

Do you have the PSD file for the graphic you used for the button? I'd like to recolor it and use that instead of the one I use now.

Download the first version of the graphics pack and select the Arrow Buttons.psd. Download it here:

Get the first one, as it is the one with layered Photoshop .psd-files.

I am not sure, if I may post the .psd-file here :)

Excellent, I didn't realize that graphic was in the PSD pack.

Very handy thx.
