I have the same question - I've added a 'Comments Policy" link into the Comments module template that takes someone to a separate page displaying the policy - I'd like them to be able to go back to the blog posting they were viewing. Is there a way to do this?

come on guys.... this is simple, and not CMS related:

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">Back</a>

I realize that there are ways to accomplish this, although the method you describe gave me problems - it kept linking to the index page, so I went with this:



I was wondering if there was a simple method within the CMS to accomplish the same thing, so that content editors could access it easily. Currently I'm leaning toward making a Global Content Block of the above and letting them call that, but wondered if i wasn't reinventing the wheel.

GCB is the way to go.
