Back to the top button

[Former Member]

I'm using the following atm, is there another way please?

A simple way to add a back to top, add this to global header <a name="top"></a>

and add this to the top of global footer

<center><ahref="#top"><font size="6"><b>Back To Top</b></font></a></center>

If you want an image (button) <a href="#top"><img src="URL OF IMAGE" /></a>

This is what I used with the v4.5 and it also works with the v5:

Global Top

<center>
[ <a href="#bottom">To Bottom</a> | <a href="/">Forum Home</a> | <a href="/index.cgi?action=members&view=members">View Members</a> ]
<br><br>

Global Bottom

<center>
[ <a href="#">To Top</a> | <a href="/">Forum Home</a> | <a href="/index.cgi?action=members&view=members">View Members</a> ]
<br>

<a name="bottom"></a>

I've added a few others, but can be edited to remove. Images can also be added.

Example:

<a href="#bottom"><img src="URL OF IMAGE" /></a> (To Bottom) and (To Top)

<a href="/"><img src="URL OF IMAGE" /></a> (Forum Home)

<a href="/index.cgi?action=members&view=members"><img src="URL TO IMAGE" /></a> (View Members)

If there is another way, I'd like to know also.

Thanks aRMY83 - I'll wait with you to see if there is another way.

I'm confused as to what you are wanting? You want exactly what you have, but with a different method? What's wrong with what you are using currently? Please elaborate...

Hi Shorty - Patrick [ASE] gave me that code, he mentioned that there might be something better using CCS.

Not that I know of. You can't really create content with CSS, you can style with CSS, but not create content. You would need to use HTML(which you already are) or JavaScript, HTML(what you are already using) being the best option especially with access to the templates and such.

Removed the members list, and it works well. My members like this a lot!

Hello smokeygrey...

Thanks and I made a couple of changes to claify some areas:

Global Header (Top)

<center>
[ <a href="#bottom">To Bottom</a> | <a href="/">Forum Home</a> | <a href="/index.cgi?action=members&view=members">View Members</a> ]
<br><br></center>

Global Footer (Bottom)

<center>
[ <a href="#">To Top</a> | <a href="/">Forum Home</a> | <a href="/index.cgi?action=members&view=members">View Members</a> ]
<br>
<a name="bottom"></a></center>

Images can also be added:

Example:

<a href="#bottom"><img src="URL OF IMAGE" /></a> (To Bottom)

<a href="#"><img src="URL OF IMAGE" /></a> (To Top)

<a href="/"><img src="URL OF IMAGE" /></a> (Forum Home)

<a href="/index.cgi?action=members&view=members"><img src="URL TO IMAGE" /></a> (View Members)

I think I'll stay with what I've got thanks all the same guys.

I can't remember which member of staff told me that a back to the top button/feature is going to be added...

Can anyone tell me when and should I remove the code I've added to my forum to avoid any conflict?

Just noticed yesterday on the v5 converted test site, that when placing this code back in, that I came across this:

Before code:



after code:



This small code worked just fine on the v4.5 but as you can see, the alignment of the text is way off. This may not happen to all of us with the v5 converted site, but thought I'd let everyone know.

EDIT: forgot to add those closing </center> tags highlighted in green above.
