Is there some way that we can possibly incorporate/code a simple old style universal 'Back' button on all our product pages?
BigCommerce only allows for a standard breadcrumbs trail below the main menu that is not intuitive or user friendly for many visitors.
A visitor will either use our main PARTS menu page or the search function to check out many individual parts and then want to go straight back to the PARTS menu or at least the last 'group' results from their search and an obvious and plain old 'Back' button right next to the part would be an asset.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you add something similar to the below example to your product page template (wherever you want to add it), you can achieve it.
<button onclick="window.back.history(-1);"> Back Button </button>
It's inline javascript, which is not the best way to do it, but it will work. For more, you will need to add custom js file and do everything there.

This may seem novice, but I assure its not.
So, I have a site, which displays blog posts by date from new backwards.
Standard stuff. However, what I'm trying to do is create a temporary homepage, lets call it 'yogo'. It displays some ad, or image, with a button link.
What I'd like is a direct link to the actual blog feed which displays in a given theme site's frontpage. Is it just a block?
When Im in Appearance->Reading, I can change homepage to 'yogo' fine. But, say a visitor is on 'yogo', and I want a button they click on to link to what would be the original theme frontpage with blog content, it should technically be 'Home' but is that coded somewhere through the wordpress software like the Reading mentioned above.
Maybe Im missing something, should I shut off permalinks, and dig for it in actual page extension?
Im trying to avoid using Guten. or Elem. to build out a blog page.
Any advice, thanks in advance.
Once add your code in front-page.php or home.php you can use get_the_permalink() function to get the blog page URL and will pass in "a" HTML tag like this -
Your Blog Name
Might be it can help you.
Just a quick update. actually solved this.. In simple terms, it is possible to do this really quickly through the Wpress UI. From your backend, these are the steps in the following order:
(firstly. shout out 2 user 'mirchev' because if u didn't point out templates I would of been way off. actually after about an hour of research after that) So it all takes place in Setting->Reading. From what I've read, Wpress started off as a blog based system anyways, so it was solved a long time back. Basically to start, 1. Create 2 pages, no need to add any content as long as they are 'new' and you make note of the names.
2. Also important -in the template area to the right panel when the new page editor loads up (you don't need to add any texts, images or whatever, including the area on the right just make sure "default template" is selected. 3. Afterwards, these 2 pages are 2 be used in the Setting->reading section.
What you want to do is when you enter this setting of your Wpress site, instead of having your "homepage" radio button be "latest posts" set it to 'static page,' and 4. important - select 1 of the 2 new pages you created as the static page. 5. Now, also important, for the posts page, select the 2nd of the 2 new pages you created. 6. Once this is done, what happens is your website loads the static page, which you may customize however, and then you can go into your Appearance->menus and add the appropriate link to the 2nd of the 2 new pages you created to load the blog, or link to it whichever way you choose. More often than not a menu item should appear if that is the setting you customized.
..And that is all. if fact I was very surprised just how smooth it was.
good luck ! ..--'''~~**

I am working on a portfolio site to showcase my graphic work on wordpress.
For most themes, when you click on a list item on the portfolio it directs you to a new page dedicated to that item. I want it to be that when you click on the link, a big popup (about half the screen) comes up that displays the contents.
Is there a way to make the page content into a popup? Is there a plugin I can use for this?
You can see what I am looking for in this site:http://www.mikekus.com/
When you click on the link for each item, it doesn't redirect you to a new page. A popup comes up with the page information. How can I do that on wordpress?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Here is what that site is running on: Dunked.
There are quite a few options out there for this, especially in the WordPress plugin area. One fairly barebones looking one is WP Post Popup which, as the name implies, turns your posts into modal pop-up's instead of a new page.
Not sure if there is anything out of the box that is comparable to popping up on the side like the page you linked. With some CSS work though you could probably make the one I linked above, or any of them for that matter, look as you would like.
If you want to try and make something on your own, I would recommend doing some reading up on modal windows.
In Drupal 7 I created a views page, and I want users to have the option to view the results either as a list, or with thumbnails (like on a lot of websites). The only way I can think of doing that is creating one page with the results as a list, and having a link to another page with the results that have thumbnails.
But my question is, how do I add just a random link to the top of my block page that will direct users to the 'thumbnail' page?
I tried to use 'unfiltered text' in the header and put the html for a link in there, and when I went to the page it looked like a link, but I couldn't click it. Any suggestions?
For every view you can create set of templates to style it. When you edit you view open "Advanced options" and then at bottom click on "Theming options" (or suggestions...can't remember real text).
That way you'll get a very useful popup which displays all templates used by view...in specific theme. So if you want to change some template just click on it's original name, pick up it's original code (copy) and create a file. Save it at your theme templates directory, pick some of suggested names, add your link or what ever html you need and clear the cache.
Templating is a bit broad subject to discuss in details for you questions's answer - find some tutorial on net, but general idea is to use custom view template and store your html there.
BTW, I hope you have only one view and different displays for you different pages.
I am building my own theme, and I want something advanced:
What i want is a page with links (already have that, now comes the tricky part). When you click on that link, i would like to have a "page" sliding over the "portfolio page (the page with links)" (not covering it compleatly, or with an exit button so you can close the overlay page, and just return on the protfolio page (without reloading if possible).
I need to put this overlay page in a custom post type.
I have been looking into pop-up widgets, but i don't think that will do the job.
Is there a plug-in for this?
Thank you very much for helping me out!

I am working on a blog and wanted to add a next post button somewhere between every post like this website. http://dose2fun.com
any way to add the button there?
I dont have same to same solution, but you can use jj-wp easy navigation. It will add previous and next post button. It can be controlled by keyboard too.
