Adding Additional Navigation on bottom of page or under posts?

FerrariSteveFerrariSteve Seattle ✭
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I received this feedback recently on my Vanilla 2.1 forum:

Any chance to get a quick way to return to the main message listings, especially at the bottom of a long page of discussion as the left menu disappears? Perhaps a button just above "post a reply"? Would make navigation a bit quicker. Thanks in advance for consideration.

Not a bad idea, but not sure if there are already any 2.1-compatible add-ons that help address this. For the time being, to help rule out any incompatibilities with add-ons, I'm trying to keep the default template.

Any ideas are appreciated

    or you could add a link via
    this plugin ... http://vanillaforums.org/addon/addtexttobox-plugin

    if you just want link to discussions in each comment.

    and just put the link that you want to go to in the conf/locales.php definitions.

    $Definition['Comment Instructions'] = '<a href="http://localhost/vanilla/discussions">Return to discussions';

    or you could modify .tpl

    and add links to footer. e.g. (might be a better way in .tpl, but its a thought).

      <ul class="SiteMenu">
       {discussions_link}
       {activity_link}
       {inbox_link}
       {custom_menu}
       {profile_link}
       {signinout_link}
      </ul>
