If it's for home page (I think that) this should be before forum Home tab :)

Here's polish lang:
ISO:

$txt['backtotheindex_enabled'] = 'Wł±cz modyfikację "Wróć do indeksu"';
$txt['backtotheindex_title'] = 'Tytuł przycisku "Wróć do indeksu" w menu';
$txt['backtotheindex_href'] = 'Adres URL przycisku "Wróć do indeksu"';


UTF8:

$txt['backtotheindex_enabled'] = 'Włącz modyfikację "Wróć do indeksu"';
$txt['backtotheindex_title'] = 'Tytuł przycisku "Wróć do indeksu" w menu';
$txt['backtotheindex_href'] = 'Adres URL przycisku "Wróć do indeksu"';

I will add that to my Thoughts list, an option to add it at the beginning or at the end of the menu :)

If you could translate these pieces of text, I am able to add a full Polish translation into the mod for version 0.2:


$txt['backtotheindex_position'] = 'Position of the Back to the index button';
$txt['backtotheindex_beginofmenu'] = 'At the beginning of the menu (before Home button)';
$txt['backtotheindex_endofmenu'] = 'At the end of the menu (after Logout/Register button)';


Thanks :)

ISO:

$txt['backtotheindex_position'] = 'Pozycja przycisku "Wróć do indeksu"';
$txt['backtotheindex_beginofmenu'] = 'Na pocz±tku menu (przed przyciskiem Strona główna)';
$txt['backtotheindex_endofmenu'] = 'Na końcu menu (po przycisku Wyloguj się/Rejestracja)';

UTF8:

$txt['backtotheindex_position'] = 'Pozycja przycisku "Wróć do indeksu"';
$txt['backtotheindex_beginofmenu'] = 'Na początku menu (przed przyciskiem Strona główna)';
$txt['backtotheindex_endofmenu'] = 'Na końcu menu (po przycisku Wyloguj się/Rejestracja)';

Thanks a lot :)

Updating the mod & uploading it in a while.

Updated. When updating your installation, just uninstall the old version and install the newer one.

I just found out that the mod doesn't like portals damn well.

That's going to kick in for a manual installation for a while I suppose (unless you aren't looking for an installation with the button at the beginning of the menu) :-\

Adding to my to-do list: Make BTTI compatible with portals.

Just the mod I was looking for.  Thank you.

Fixed a few bugs, version 0.2.1 is uploaded (now compatible with SMF 2.0.2)!

Uninstall the old package before you begin though (I'm sorry if you lose any data), it's not upgrade-proof.

No offence but to my opinion this mod is completely useless since it doesn't add a thing.
Since you can use in this case for example.. "Simple Machines Community Forum » Customizing SMF » Modifications and Packages"

To get back easily to the index.

Not if you have a forum on lessay http://lol.com/forum and need a button that goes back to http://lol.com...

Mod works with 2.0.3 as-is.

Mod updated to 0.3, now uses hooks and fixes the issue that occured with portals. Happy buttoning! :)

Installed and working great... One question, is there anyway to have the link open in a new window? Can I add a target=_blank somewhere in the script? Thanks!

Hmm, I will look into creating a switch for this, thanks for reporting :)

(shouldn't be too hard - just a couple of lines)

Updated - version 0.4 should provide the feature you wanted :)

This mod is called "Back to the index", but why is that?

Post #1 in this thread doesn't say what the mod actually does, and the mod download page says it's about adding a customisable button...

QuoteAdds a custom button on the button row. The button this mod adds is completely customizable, with a custom URL, name, and the option to place it at the beginning and the end of the menu

So, why does it have the name it does?

Just askin'

The button is customizable the way you like it with your own text and URL and such.

It is called Back to the index, because it is a button which should bring you, well, Back to the index ;)

If you want me to rewrite the description, I'll be more than glad to do so :)
EDIT: Oh wow I didn't enter a description at all... :-[
/me is horrible with descriptions

Meh, I don't buy that :P

If the sole objective of the modification is to create a custom button in a customisable position on the button row, to contains customisable content, surely the mod should be "Create Custom Button"...?


Hey, it's your mod but I was just curious that's all...

Yeah, but I wanted to be original! :P
Search "Custom button" on the mod site and you're bombarded with mods :P

Perfect! Thanks for the quick update!

You're right :D

It bombarded me with two mods (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;basic_search=custom+button)  8)

Five for me (unapproved mods), though I believe like there are like 10 more on the site, somewhere :)

Last word from me on this then...

If I came to sm.org looking for a customisable button mod, what would I put into the [search modifications] box that would find yours?  ???

No idea, I'm rewriting the short description atm, you can find it by searching for custom button now.

This is great. Thank you!

Thank you :)

Works with 2.0.4 as-is.

Mod updated to 0.4.1, which is a maintenance release!

If you already have version 0.4 installed, there is no need to update to 0.4.1, all functionality remains the same. 0.4.1 just reorganises bits of code.

Release notes:
- Reorganised bits of code.

Happy buttoning!

Hello Yoshi:

I am want to link in a page, or two that I created in simple portal, but I need the answers to the questions below.

1. Does the button show up for guests? - I only want users, admins. moderators to see this button
2. Does this mod allow you to add more then one button?

Wiz

Hi the wizard,

1. This mod does not use permissions, though I can make it use permissions in a later versions.
2. No, this mod just adds a single button.

Suggestion: Put all language entries into a separate language file and load it in btti_settings(). Then you don't need to edit any files.


(That quote in your sig is the best ever)

Thanks, I'll note that down for a future version.

Released a small update which fixes a language string missing in some cases where other mods which add language strings were added to Modifications.{language}.php.

Works great in 2.0.14. Simple to install, easy to add menu item. Made my day.
