InputfieldButton

Non-submitting button that can optionally render as a hyperlink

Extends [[InputfieldSubmit]] — all submit-button properties (value, html, text, icon, header, secondary, small, showInHeader(), setSecondary(), setSmall(), dropdown actions, etc.) are inherited and documented there.

Renders <button type="button"> (not a submit button). When href is set, the button is wrapped in an <a> tag.

$f = $modules->get('InputfieldButton');
$f->value = 'View Page';
$f->href = $page->url;
$form->add($f);

See [[Inputfield]] for the shared Inputfield API.

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
`href`	`string`	`''`	URL; wraps button in `<a href="...">` when set
`aclass`	`string`	`''`	Additional CSS class(es) for the `<a>` element
`target`	`string`	`''`	Link target attribute (e.g. `'_blank'`)
`linkInner`	`bool`	`false`	Place `<a>` inside `<button>` rather than wrapping it outside 3.0.184+

Linking

When href is set, the button is wrapped in an <a> tag by default:

$f->href = '/admin/page/edit/?id=1234';
$f->aclass = 'pw-modal'; // open in a ProcessWire modal
$f->target = '_blank'; // open in new tab

linkInner = true places the <a> inside the <button> instead — useful in non-admin contexts where the outside-wrap breaks CSS:

$f->linkInner = true;

Notes

InputfieldButton does not submit the form; it is for navigation or JS-driven actions.
Default name is 'button' and default value is 'Button'.
