            ! Plugin Button
Use this ((wiki plugin)), introduced in ((Tiki6|Tiki6.1)), to show links as buttons, while allowing ((Wiki Argument Variables)) (e.g. -+~np~{{itemId}}~/np~+- ) to be used without the need of an admin to re-validate the plugin call each time (as it has to be done if you use for such task the generic PluginSmarty, each time a new itemId is passed in the url to the wiki page containing the plugin).

This is specially useful in cases of custom workflows using  trackers and wiki pages with tracker plugins to insert data, edit it afterwards, etc., and showing those links as buttons.

Since Tiki19 it is possible to display only an icon without label (text). See example below.

!! Parameters
{pluginmanager plugin="button"}
!! Example
!!! Use a url parameter, icon and danger type
''This code:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{button href="Home?itemId={{itemId}}" _text="Go there" _type="danger" _icon_name="wrench"}
{CODE}
''Would produce on this site:''
A button with the "Go there" as label, and the wiki argument variable ~np~{{itemId}}~/np~ replaced by the itemId passed in the url of the page where this plugin button is located:

{button href="Home?itemId={{itemId}}" _text="Go there" _type="danger" _icon_name="wrench"}

''This code:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{button href="HomePage" _rel="box" _text="Go there"}
{CODE}
''Will create a button that opens the HomePage in a colorbox'':

{button href="HomePage" _rel="box" _text="Go there"}

{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{button href="HomePage" _icon_name="home" _type="primary"}
{button href="Edit" _icon_name="pencil" _type="primary"}
{button href="Delete" _icon_name="trash" _type="danger"}
{CODE}
''Will create a set of buttons with icons only'':
{button href="HomePage" _icon_name="home" _type="info"}{button href="Edit" _icon_name="pencil" _type="primary"}{button href="Delete" _icon_name="trash" _type="danger"}

!!! Button that opens the href URL content in a modal with custom redirect once submitted
''Since Tiki 20.2, this code:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{button href="HomePage" _class="click-modal" data="modal-submit-redirect-url=/success-page"}
{CODE}
''Will load the href URL in a modal, and redirect to the URL given in the data attribute once the form (if any) within the modal is submitted.''
