Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks.
Welcome to the forum the_hyrax_lord
I am assuming you are using Custom Buttons² version 2.0.7.1 or greater.
The Button context menu has an option for "Copy as BBCode Link" this will produce a button link you can simply paste into a post to the Buttons Database.
There is the
ButtonPost button. You will need to know the ID # of the button you wish to post. (found by selecting "Button Help" from the context menu) This produces a comprehensive post with all the bases covered.
- Create a post for your button in the Discussion/Support forum and copy the link to that post to the clipboard.
- Create a new topic in the buttons database.
- Place the cursor in the textarea.
- Click the ButtonPost button and answer the prompts.
If you forget to copy the link to Support the button will still work but the link to the Support/Discussion will need to be fixed later. NOT a big issue, just be aware of it.
