Simply put the following code in "Page_Render" server event that belongs to the "View Page":

$options = &$this->OtherOptions; // use OtherOptions
$option = $options["action"]; // part of action button
$item = &$option->Add("my_new_button"); // <--- adjust it to yours
$item->Body = '<a class="btn btn-default ewAction ewEdit" title="My Home" data-caption="My Home" href="home.php"><span data-phrase="My Home" class="glyphicon glyphicon-home ewIcon" data-caption="My Home"></span></a>'; // <-- adjust it to yours

Simply put the following code in "Page_Render" that belongs to the "List Page":

$item = &$this->SearchOptions->Add("my_new_button");
$item->Body =  '<a class="btn btn-default ewAction ewEdit" title="My Home" data-caption="My Home" href="home.php"><span data-phrase="My Home" class="glyphicon glyphicon-home ewIcon" data-caption="My Home"></span></a>'; // <-- adjust it to yours

Search this forum for "ListOptions_Load" and "ListOptions_Rendered"

can i use same code in master/detail view page for hiding button from toolbar?

I want to hide button from toolbar in master/detail table on view page(detail page).

Yes you can.
The logic goes this way:

Check whether the page is in master/detail mode.
Do your code based on that condition.

There are plenty ways to check the condition. Search this forum for "getCurrentMasterTable". You can also use isset($_GET[EW_TABLE_SHOW_MASTER]). Or any other ways that fit your code well.

I would like to add a custom button to all pages and views where the toolbar is displayed.
Can I do that globally somehow, or do i have to add it on each page seperately?

If you meant "toolbar" is the line section where the Export buttons are located, then you should add it on each page separately.

However, if you meant "toolbar" is the navbar section, then you may use Page_Foot server event to add that custom button by customizing the navbar section.

I ended up adding toolbar buttons to the navbar section, it was easier.
Thanks

The code I posted above was on year of 2017, perhaps that for PHPMaker v2018. It was probably not compatible with the version 2020 and the latest version.
