Do a search in the forum on 'add custom button' would be my first port of call.

Oops! I read editview! Thanks to andopes for putting me straight.

You need to do the following:

create a custom view.list.php for Accounts;
implement the method preDisplay() containing something like that:

      function preDisplay(){
            require_once('custom/modules/Accounts/ListViewAccounts.php');
         $this->lv = new ListViewAccounts();
     } 
  

create the script custom/modules/Accounts/ListViewAccounts.php containing the class ListViewAccounts which extends ListViewSmarty.
implement inside this class the method buldExportLink containing something like that:

     function buildExportLink($id = 'export_link')  {
                $script = parent::buildExportLink($id);
        $script.= // the code for custom button
 
        return $script;
    }

Hi André

Thanks for that - what exactly is the $script ment to be. Is it javascript to create a button, is it php code?

It is a php script.
Take a look into function buildExportLink at include/ListView/ListViewDisplay.php
