Hello members my first post in this section.
Here i share something which may helpful.

Add Home button in Footer area just below SMF copyright area.

Tips/tricks:


Theme/default/index.template.php

Search
<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li>

Add after
                  <li class="last"><a id="button_home" href="', $scripturl , '"class="new_win"><span>', $txt['home'], '</span></a></li>
languagedir/Modifications.english.php

Search
?>
Add before
$txt['home'] = 'Home';
And see the result

Before we can approve this, there's just one thing that's missing:

QuoteYou should also add the version number in the title. If it works in more than one version, you can add both.
For example, is this for 2.1.x series or 2.0.x series or both?

I've fixed your post to conform to the other requirements of this board (check the sticky topic).

href="', $scripturl , '?home"
as far as i know this url, ?home does not exist in SMF so it would send you back to the home page anyway. so your mod is using code that it does not need to use. it should just go back to the $scripturl. of course if the forum is using a portal this may vary.

also you are not defining $txt['home'] anywhere so the error log will get filled up and your button will not show correctly.

But i am using it and no error log there.
yes if forum using portal this may vary.

I removed just the ?home and it works fine for me. Can a coder verify that this is correct without it so we can get this topic approved?

The use of ?home is wrong,  because it does not exist.

And any txt string needs to be added to modifications.english.php

In other words,  this "tip" is wrong in all sorts of ways.

Rejected.

end
Add before
$txt['home'] = 'Home';

Please fix this, there's no end word, could cause confusion.
Use ?>, or simply advice to add it at the end of the file.

isn't that the same $txt var that the menu uses, which should mean that it is always defined?
