"To the top" link in every reply

Hi

Desc: This is a simple modification. It adds an image link next to every quick reply (or quote) button in every thread and reply that brings you back to top.
Time to install: About 1Min
Templates to edit: 1
Versions: All vB Versions

In postbit template search for:

<if condition="$show['moderated']">
                <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/moderated.gif" alt="$vbphrase[moderated_post]" border="0" />
            </if>

after that add

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/top.gif" alt="$vbphrase[top]" border="0" /></a>

Now download the image I attached and upload it to /forum/images/buttons

I made you an image for the standard vBulletin Buttons but you can change it or add a different image.

Hope you like it.... and if you do don?t forget to click INSTALL

Just view any thread you like to see the top button

does this mean that if the thread was up to 10 pages long, it would take me to the beginning of the thread? or if was 30 pages long it would take me to page 20 of the thread?

i'm not a coder so i wanted to make sure i understood what u mean.

TIA

after installing and 'trying it out' :wink: regardless of what page you are on it takes you to the top of the page you are viewing, not to any other page...

Ups, missed the german phrase

the self.scrollTo(0, 10) is a pixel specification not a page specification

thanks for that little hack.

For those which use the old forum style, edit template postbit_legacy.
find:

PHP Code:

<!-- / controls --> 


add before:

PHP Code:

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 10); return false;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/top.gif" alt="Top of Page" border="0" /></a>

Thank you StarBuG

Just what I always wanted

Install

All right this is not working for me, i have the pic uploaded to button and the code where it is. Nothing is shwoing up though. Thanks

[StarBuG]

Then you have made something wrong.

Check the placement of the code in your template.

This is a simple link with an image, there is nothing in this code that can be wrong except your placement of the code.

anyone show me how to fix

[StarBuG]

If you want you can copy your postbit template into a txt file and attach it to your post, I will then have a look

I just installed it and it didn't work. I had to install it in both postbid and postbid_legacy for it to work. I have custom styles so maybe this is why I had to do that.
