Thread: Addidg a "Home" button in phpBB2 site

DOes anyone know if it is possible to add buttons in the phpBB2 software that gives the user a way back o the home page or nywhere else for that matter. Having to use the back arrow key seems sloppy.

Thanx

Only way i can think of is design a button then link to it within the code. If you post the section of the code where you want it to appear we maybe able to help further

How do you edit .TPL files ?

First download two copies of the file you want to edit on to your computer in to different folders were you can find them. one is used as a back up, the other you will edit. you can open these file by useing notepad or notepad2 or any good code editer. edite the file then useing the copy button in your ftp manager copy the file back .
