Miscellaneous Hacks - To-the-top button in postbit footer.

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

INSTRUCTIONS:
1x additions to he posbit.css template
Go to..
Styles & Templates>Stlye Manager>your skin>edit templates>CSS templates>postbit.css
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Find (search for "multiquote"):

.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/multiquote-back_40b.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
}
.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote:hover, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.multiquote:hover  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/multiquote_40b-hover.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
}

Under that, put:

.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.tothetop, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.tothetop  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/tothetop_40b.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
}
.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};
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
}

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

in 4.02 postbit.css is different...
Can you make an update?

[trilOByte]

ahhhaaa....

Just seen the 4.0.2 update is available. I'll install, check the .css and update the mod.

[trilOByte]

Sorted, it's no biggie. For those wanting a quick fix, just replace the image src= in ther postbit with...

src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}"

That's it.

[trilOByte]

Mod instructions updated for 4.0.2

After replying to a thread with quikrepli if y pres the top button of the fresh post the page become white.
Please fix it.It`s very annoing.

I occasionally also get a white page instead of the top of the page. I'm not sure why but it's intermittent at best.
