Go to Top link

[Nick Lim]

What is the easiest way to implement a link at footer.php to enable it to go to the top of the page currently viewed?

Hmmm... I am no osc expert, but...

 

Place the following code in footer.php:

 

<a href="#top">Back to Top</a>

 

My browser automatically sets "top", so I usually don't define it, but that doesn't mean all browsers will do it that way. Bad habit not to define it, I guess. So, you would probably add the following code to header.php:

 

<a name="top"></a>

 

I think that would do it... ?

Thanks Michael.

I already tried that but it does not work.

However, I managed to get it to work by carrying out the following;

 

I added the statement <?php echo $breadcrumb->lbctop(' » '); ?>

to footer.php.

 

Then I amended the catalog/include/classes/breadcrumb.php file to include the following which is modified from the function trail($separator = ' - ').

 

//Amended by lbc - link to go to top of page

function lbctop($separator = ' - ') {

$trail_string = '';

$p=sizeof($this->_trail)-1;

 

for ($i=$p, $n=sizeof($this->_trail); $i<$n; $i++) {

if (isset($this->_trail[$i]['link']) && tep_not_null($this->_trail[$i]['link'])) {

$trail_string .= '<a href="' . $this->_trail[$i]['link'] . '" class="headerNavigation2">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'buttontop.gif', LINK_PROFILE) . '</a>';

} else {

$trail_string .= $this->_trail[$i]['title'];

}

 

if (($i+1) < $n) $trail_string .= $separator;

}

 

return $trail_string;

}

 

You will need an image button called 'buttontop.gif' if you are using the above code.

 

I am wondering if there is any other easier and more effective method to implement this!

I was going to suggest the a href link too. Can't see why it wouldn't work
