Extra custom button before the "save" button in admin area

[stanoliver]

Hi community!

In the admin area we have the green save button (reno default uikit theme). I would like to add another button (or dropdown / or just an text slogan ...) before the save button.

Just overwriting some less/css in not possible because the button does not even exist yet. So the question is how can I

1. create the button: I think I have to copy the whole orginal admin.css and include it in admin.less where I can create this new button and its button class. Is there no simplier way?

2. The new created button must be protected from automatic updates of processwire

hi,

i don't know when it come to a slogan but if you need a function button or a dropdown with a series of actions behind each link, it's quite easy to do this with a module
it won't go before the save button but will be easily visible in the top menu bar like in this french website i've made

 

in case it helps ?

have a nice day

Hi @virtualgadjothanks for your comment! Yeah, but for a specific task I really would prefer a solution directly right before the "save" button.

Hi @stanoliver

in this case, i remember an old post that may help you adapt the code to your own need

it does, at least visually, exactly what you are looking for
bernhard added a more recent solution that may worth a look (like everything this guy writes here ?)

have a nice day
