Can we change list plugin buttons location?

[Jaanus]

The headings part in list view seems to be very hardcoded - I couldn't find out how could I move the list plugin buttons from the rightest column to another place, i.e. near group by, pdf, csv buttons or perhaps inside a possible additional <tr></tr> inside <thead>. If we still can do it somehow I would be very thankful for ideas. The view below looks very ugly, isn't it?
Hmm, and the ability to use text instead of (or near) icons would be very nice

Create a custom list template, move $this->loadTemplate('buttons'); (in default.php) and/or edit default_buttons.php

hm... but the plugin buttons are loading within <?php echo $headingsHtml?>

I did it, but not sure is it the best way. See the list plugin buttons above the list data:



What I did:

in default_headings.php I added

foreach ($this->headings as $key => $heading) :
    $h = $this->headingClass[$key];
   
    if (strstr($heading, 'listplugin')): ?>
    <div style="text-align: right;">
    <?php echo $heading;?>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

and changed respectively the original code

<tr class="fabrik___heading">
<?php 
echo $this->rowNumHeader;
foreach ($this->headings as $key => $heading) :
    $h = $this->headingClass[$key];
   
    $style = empty($h['style']) ? '' : 'style="' . $h['style'] . '"';?>
    <th class="heading <?php echo $h['class']?>" <?php echo $style?>>
            <?php    
            if (!strstr($heading, 'listplugin')):
                echo $heading; 
                endif; 
            ?>
    </th>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tr>

Additionally, to make button labels always visible I made so far this change in models/plugin-list.php (function button_result())

           $text = $label;
//       instead of
//      $text = $this->buttonAction == 'dropdown' ? $label : '<span class="hidden">' . $label . '</span>';

but this needs obviously another approach (i.e show label text option in list plugin settings)

Probably not the best, but still better way than shown above:

I do this with pure css (and even fixed them)
