Templates and structure

To display an element on all pages, like Go to top/Go to bottom buttons or a sidebar, implement them in the overall_header ou overall_footer templates. If you want the element to be in a fixed position (like a corner), make sure to code it outside of the forum structure <div class="main_forum"> and to set it as position: fixed

The toolbar is one of the few elements that don't appear in the templates. It can only be modified with CSS.

Very simple: spot the header variable in the overall_header template and code your element right under it.

Some variables can be moved around from a template to another, especially when templates are embedded within one another (eg. viewforum_body and topics_list_box). Forumactif's logic is somewhat wonky. You just need to experiment a bit.
