How to add a custom button on Siteadmin in AEM 6.5 ?

[VeenaVikraman]

Hi All

    I am trying to add a custom button on the siteadmin. When I select a page , I should be able to see this button and also I would like to restrict this button to a particular path . I tried overlaying /libs/wcm/core/content/siteadmin/actions , but it doesn't seem to be working. Let me know how we can do this.

TIA

For what you can create your own javascript and include the category for that as the once which is being used on the siteadmin console.

And within the javascript you can write the custom code for restriction the visibility for this button as per the path.

Thanks

Hi @shaileshb584084 ,

I followed this blog for the custom button but as you said we can add our own js. So can you please explain how to add it specifically to our custom button ?

Thanks.

Thanks @arunpatidar that worked. But I am trying to get the button restricted to a particular path now.

I am wondering when we navigate to other pages in another content tree, the button is still hidden unless we refresh the page. have any idea to get around ?
