Custom Button Macro

[Deleted user]

I use Confluence Server 6.9 and wanted a button that I could colorize and left, center, or right align it within a Confluence page.  I also wanted to use it to open pages in the same tab/window or a new tab/window.  The only current issue with this is when you export the page as a PDF for instance, it does not make the button a link.  It only makes it a picture.  These are the main configurations for my custom button user macro:

1.  Categories:  "Navigation"

2. Definition of User Macro:  No macro body

3. Icon:

4. Button Macro Template:

## Macro title: Button
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: no macro body
## Output: Selected output option

I wasn't able to get this to work on Confluence Server.

Hi all,

I just edited the macro above to be able to use it (there were some extra gaps). I also edited it a bit and make the button similar to the Confluence original button.

So here it is:

## Macro title: Customizable button
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: no macro body
## Output: Selected output option

Great thanks @Raduz  - I will give it a try 👏🏻

[Fabienne Gerhard]

@Raduz this is awesome - I love it! 😍

I really really love this costum button - but now I've got a problem. Or maybe it's just because you're not supposed to do like this....

If you use 2 or more different buttons on one page -> only the last style you entered is used for alle buttons on the whole page. First I was like - what did I wrong but .Centerbutton {} will only be written once and only the last one - all others are overwritten (I used Center position...)

Any chance that there is a fast way to fix this? I have no idea... 😌
