To-the-top button in postbit footer. · **Released**: 02-09-2010

This simple mod does what is says on the tin, it adds a Top button in the postbit footer using the vBulletin 4.0.2 css convention for mouseover buttons.

Note: This mod is NOT compatible with vBulletin 4.0.1 or earlier.

This is a mod I've always used because, as simple as it may be, a Top button in the bottom right of each postbit, can dramatically speed up the navigation of your site. No more spinning that mouse wheel trying to get back to the menus.

There are...
1x addition to the postbit.css template
1x addition to the posbit (and/or postbit_legacy) template
2x images to upload

..in Styles & Templates>Stlye Manager>your skin>edit templates>postbit templates>postbit search for "multiquote" ...then replace

Quote:

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
<a class='multiquote' href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false;"

id="mq_{vb:raw post.postid}"><img id="mq_image_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/trans_40b.png"

alt="{vb:rawphrase multi_quote_this_message}" /> </a>
</vb:if>

with this

Quote:

<span class="seperator"> </span><a class='tothetop' href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;"><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="...to the top" />{vb:rawphrase top}</a>

KEKforce · #55 04-29-2011, 03:59 PM

It works but I lose another function (multiquote)...

Don't want that....

steeler7 · #56 06-15-2011, 08:54 PM

got this working with vB4.1.4

Here's what I did. to be honest I didn't even try this hack first since everyone was saying it didn't work. I came here to get code since I recently updated and forgot to store it in a text document. Anyways, all I did was just matched a little code with some of the existing buttons like "multiquote" and "reply" etc..

In postbit.css

Find :

Code:

.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/multiquote-back_40b.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar postbit_control_background} {vb:stylevar left};
	padding: {vb:stylevar postbit_control_padding};
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:math {vb:stylevar postbit_control_padding}+20};
	padding-bottom:1px;
	border: {vb:stylevar postbit_control_border};
}
.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote:hover, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote:hover  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/multiquote_40b-hover.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar postbit_control_hover_background} {vb:stylevar left};	
}

Add After :

Code:

.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.tothetop, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.tothetop  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/tothetop_40b.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar postbit_control_background} {vb:stylevar left};
	padding: {vb:stylevar postbit_control_padding};
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:math {vb:stylevar postbit_control_padding}+20};
	padding-bottom:1px;
	border: {vb:stylevar postbit_control_border};
}

.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.tothetop:hover, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.tothetop:hover  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/tothetop_40b-hover.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
}

In postbit_legacy

Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
						
						 <a class="multiquote" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false;" id="mq_{vb:raw post.postid}"><img id="mq_image_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase multi_quote_this_message}" />&nbsp;</a> 
					</vb:if>

Alter and Add:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
						
						 <a class="multiquote" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false;" id="mq_{vb:raw post.postid}"><img id="mq_image_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase multi_quote_this_message}" />&nbsp;</a> 
					<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>

Add After :

Code:

<a class='tothetop' href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;"><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="...to the top" />{vb:rawphrase top}</a>

I just used steeler7's code (above) on 4.1.8.
It didn't show for me until edits to both postbit_legacy and postbit where complete.

The button shows and works fine, but the hover image does not show, only a blank space.
There isn't any text message on hover either.
Any thoughts?

This mod is marked as supported, but trilOByte hasn't posted here for close to a year, despite him having been onsite as recent as Oct... have we been abandoned?

spillage · #58 11-26-2011, 08:13 PM

Hover image not showing issue solved;
I had edited the image to add some colour to it... when I saved it, the file extension was changed to uppercase (.PNG)... on changing it back to lowercase (.png) it worked.

Still no hover text... shouldn't it show "...to the top"?

BANDiT600 · #59 03-29-2012, 08:00 AM

It's nice looking modification, but who can made changes to work it on 4.1.11?

TrIp0d · #60 03-29-2012, 04:26 PM

works fine on 4.1.11 PL 1

zascok · #61 07-29-2012, 12:46 PM
