I have added a button in the EventInfo.tpl

 <div class="crm-submit-buttons">
           <div style="display:none">{include file="CRM/common/formButtons.tpl" location="bottom"}</div>
           <span class="approved-logic crm-button crm-button-type-upload">
            <button>Approve</button>
        </span>
           <span class="request-approval crm-button crm-button-type-upload"
            <button>Request for Approval</button>

        </div>

But when I click on Add Event under Manage Events, I see a popup which does not
show my button but when I click on add event and add it to new window it shows
the button, how can I make sure it works on both the places
1) Popup enter image description here 2) New Window(which is showing currently) enter image description here enter image description here

First think its not a good practice to over-ride any core files specially templates when you can use jQuery to play around.

You can use buildform() hook to add button(s) to a form and the pop up window will recognise the button based on class or attribute and append it on popup form

  • You will need to over-ride the button to include existing + new button through buildform. The other option is to add button using smarty in tpl file using below snippet {crmButton p='civicrm/request' q="action=browse&reset=1&gid=$gid" icon="th-list"}{ts}Request for Approval{/ts}{/crmButton}

  • What does q in the above html means? {crmButton p='civicrm/request' q="action=browse&reset=1&gid=$gid" icon="th-list"}{ts}Request for Approval{/ts}{/crmButton} , I need to add redirection to current page as my url added in 'p' is 'event-workflow/request'
