And what happens when you click it?

[kaamaru]

It just takes me to the topic I want to make it take me to the latest post of that topic.

You'll also need to get the id of the last post in that topic.

Assuming you get that, we'll say it's in $id_msg, you would build the link thus:

Code Select Expand

<button onclick="window.location.href=\''.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $context['current_topic'] .'.msg' . $id_msg . '#msg' . $id_msg . '\';">', Latest Post,'</button>'; echo '

Code Select Expand

echo'

</ul>

<div class="child buttons">';
if($context['user']['is_logged'])

echo '

<button onclick="window.location.href=\''.$scripturl . '?action=post;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';num_replies=' . $context['num_replies'].'\';">', $txt['reply'] ,'</button>'; echo '

</div>

<div class="page buttons">

<button onclick="window.location.href=\'', $context['links']['prev'] ,'\';" ', $context['page_info']['current_page']==1 ? 'disabled="disabled"' : '', '>', $txt['iPrev'], '</button>

<button id="pagecount">', $txt['iPage'], ' ', $context['page_info']['current_page'] ,' ', $txt['iOf'] ,' ', ($context['page_info']['num_pages']==0) ? '1' : $context['page_info']['num_pages'] ,'</button>


<button onclick="window.location.href=\'', $context['links']['next'] ,'\';" ', ($context['page_info']['current_page']==$context['page_info']['num_pages']||$context['page_info']['num_pages']==0) ? 'disabled="disabled"' : '', '>', $txt['iNext'], '</button>


</div>
';

}

?>

Well, you can post it into there but it won't actually work until you populate $id_msg with the id of the last message on the page.

As for where, where would you want it?

[kaamaru]

I want it under under the previous and next buttons for this theme

I have attached my display.template

Anyone?
