Introduction

Site Navigation

It does what the title promisses. It put's a back button in your article where you put a {backbutton} tag.

3 parameters:
1 - Display text - The text used within the tag. If the field is left empty, it will use the default value from the plgcontentbackbutton.ini language file.
2 - Wrap div - Yes/No put a div-tag around the anchor.
3 - Add class to the link - Yes/No adds a backbutton class directly to the a-tag

With regards to Martin Cebulla for extending the translation into German.

I wrote a plugin that adds a button under the TinyMCE editor. From version 1.2.4 package is tested only with Joomla! 2.5+.
Special thanks to Amund Haugsand for translating both plugins for Joomla 1.7+ into Swedish.

Included translations: English, German, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, French, Finnish

Joomla! 1.5.x users:

I released plugin in version 1.1.1. This version improves minor bugs found in version 1.1, new version is downloadable from here:

Perfect solution



Posted on 16 September 2023
Functionality
Perfect, even on Joomla 4.0. It does what it should and i wonder why the functionality was never implemented by the Joomla or JCE community
Ease of use
I could not really find Documentation, but it's quite self-explaining. Install, activate all 3 plugins, ad or use JCE Button
Documentation
did not find (nor need) the documentation. Other users stated that the developer is trying hard to answer any questions
I used this to: Joomla 4 non-profit project. Navigation should be as easy as possible, so we could not use the internal pagination.

and in a module ?

Functionality
The plugin does not work in a module placed on all pages (joomla 3.4.8).
Why ?
Ease of use
Thank you to France

Great! it works in Joomla 3 too. It's a great plugin. Thanks.

So Simple, So Needed!

This plugin does what it says it will do, takes you back to the previous page, no matter how the reader accessed the article.



Thank you!

Does what is states!

Such a simple feature, remove from the current version, why? who knows! But love that this simple plugin did the job! 2 thumbs up!

The best extension for Joomla



Posted on 15 September 2012
This should get 10 stars. Why it was ever removed from Joomla is unknown.



Fantastic plug in :)

Amazing Support

I am a Joomla newbie developing a site in English and Persian. I needed the Back Button to display in the both languages and contacted the developer. He guided me through the process of setting up exactly what I needed to do. Everyone should be this kind! Thank you.

Unbelievably Good - Product and Support...



Posted on 14 February 2012
Not only did it work first time (once I'd enabled it (I'm a newbie) but the level of support that the author provided to allow me to customise it into a button was unbelievably good.



If other 'providers' (including paid for "pro" versions) were even half as committed to their products and their users as Wojciech is then the world would be a much better place - and I'd have a working Joomla site...

Great help from the developer



Posted on 31 January 2012
I asked Wojciech to point me at the right .ccs files to customise the appearance of the button. So what did he do? He did it himself, registered with Joomla Forum specially, and posted an answer that, after a small tweak by me, works like a dream. Within 24 hours, I should add.



If you have a decent code editor like the Notepad++ I use, you can now copy code out of this short Joomla Forum thread to get a button that clones the Readmore button.

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=628&t=690857&p=2733161#p2733161

And the code works independently of color and background. So if Joomla 2.XX ever changes the look of the Readmore, your back button will change too. Even better, you yourself can change the color and background to whatever you like.

And all because we have here one developer with a truly generous spirit.

6 Stars!

Great but need Joomla1.7 support



Posted on 12 November 2011
This worked very well for me in Joomla1.5, but at least in my 1.72 installation, it doesn't work. Did I do something wrong? The {backbutton} tags show up as text.
