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

Here's polish lang:
ISO:

Code Select Expand


$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:

Code Select Expand


$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:

Code Select Expand


$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

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.

[NanoSector]

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.

[ryanknoll]

Just the mod I was looking for.  Thank you.

[NanoSector]

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.

[NekoJonez]

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.

[NanoSector]

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

[gatorfan59]

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)

[NanoSector]

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...

Adds 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...

* Yoshi2889 is horrible with descriptions

Meh, I don't buy that

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!
Search "Custom button" on the mod site and you're bombarded with mods

[gatorfan59]

Perfect! Thanks for the quick update!
