Adding Button next to "Power-Button"

[Nico]

Hi,
I want to add another Button between the help and power button in the upper right corner.
I already tried different things but with no success.
Does anyone know what I should manipulate in an extension to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance,
best regards,
Nico

Hello Nico,

Unfortunately there is no native hook to add buttons there, you will have to do it by injecting JS which would create the button. Check iPageUIExtension::GetNorthPaneHtml() API

Hope this helps,
Guillaume

Hi,
thanks for your fast response.
I already tried that but somehow I am not able to catch an element with jquery to append or prepend something...
In "OnDisplayProperties" this is working perfectly.

But this works only when viewing an object page doesn't it?
Can you share how you tried with the other API?

[Nico]

Yes of course, sorry.
I meant displaying additional infos when showing object details.
For that i can grab elements using jquery and add just things I want - works great.
But I did not find something to grab on the upper right menu.

Hi Guillaume,
I've found my mistake.
I tried to add the JS code via a separate file using $oPage->add_linked_script();
If I inject it directly via $oPage->add_ready_script(); it works as espected.
Anyway, thanks for the support.
Best regards,
Nico
