Implemented Add a Back to Top Button

[Amaury]

Doing some searching, this was suggested before, but it was closed due to a lack of interest.

But, anyway, as title. I really find this useful, especially in long threads. Sure, the Page Up key is faster than scrolling, but a back to top button is even faster and instant.

@MattW already has an add-on for this, but I think it should be in the core, in my opinion.

You do know there's a back to top link already?

While it's useful, it's a part of PixelExit's XenBase Framework .

Like my friend says:

Implementation is everything.

Not so much:

Hmm. I've just noticed that the Top link is not available in responsive. It's most useful there as you can't use a Home key on a mobile device.

Maybe this should be raised as a separate suggestion?

Yes...

How I completely forgot about it, despite going to the bottom of pages frequently, I do not know. What I do know is that I give you both permission to hit me in the head with a frying pan.

By the way, my reference to [Home] was the key on the keyboard, in response to your comment about page up.

It's easy with a template edit, though I don't know why you'd want to remove an easy way to go back to the top. (Admittedly, it's a bit "obsolete," so to speak, when you can just press the Home key and such, but still.)

...could you please tell me path from where can I hide it?

On our board, I colored it Purple so it would be a little more obvious to our users...

​

I did so by editing the Phrase go_to_top
FROM:

Top

TO:

<font color=#FF3399>Top</font>

If you'll just remove 'Top' from the Phrase Text box (and leave it empty) then the LINK will disappear...

​

EDIT:
It looks like it's this line of code in the footer Template

<li><a href="{$requestPaths.requestUri}#navigation" class="topLink">{xen:phrase go_to_top}</a></li>

That you would want to comment out.(i.e. <xen:comment>code to ignore here</xen:comment>)
