MaxButtons easily solved my problem with lots of options when creating the button and a live view of what it was going to look like. It would have done the job for me there and then but being able to adjust the text AND link with shortcodes on my page made modifications a breeze. – by discgosforth “Easy, clear, and robust. I’m a programmer and can write CSS till the cows come home, but why? Just get it, install it and use it.

Button Shortcode Click the MaxButtons page from the admin menu. Click the Add New button. Create and customize your button using the button editor. Fill out and select the options needed to build your button. Once you’re ready, click Save. A button shortcode will be generated (ex: [maxbutton id=”17″] or [maxbutton name=”My Button Name”]). Use the shortcode anywhere in your content and the button will appear. You can also pass the button text and URL as parameters in the button shortcode, giving you even greater flexibility. For example, if you want to create a set of buttons that look exactly the same, except for the text and URL, you could do something like this: [maxbutton id=”17″ text=”Search Google” url=”http://google.com”] [maxbutton name=”MaxButtons Button Name” text=”Search Yahoo” url=”http://yahoo.com”] Another parameter you can give the shortcode is window, which tells the button whether or not to open the URL in a new window (by default the button opens the URL in the current window). To do so you always give the window parameter the value “new”, shown below. Anything else will open the button URL in the current window. [maxbutton id=”17″ window=”new”] You can also use the nofollow parameter, which will add a rel=”nofollow” attribute to the button when set to true, as shown below (the default is false): [maxbutton id=”17″ nofollow=”true”] NOTE: Passing parameters to the shortcode overrides those settings saved as part of the button. Support We work hard to give timely support during the week. And we give support when we’re on during the weekend. MaxButtons. Bringing the #buttonlove!
