Custom button in detailview SugarCRM / SuiteCRM

It will be done by below steps only! Lets do this,

STEP 1 : Add smarty variable in custom/modules/<desired_module>/metadata/detailveiwdefs.php as following,

'buttons' => 
    array (
      5 => 
      array (
        'customCode' => '{$mail_to_members}',
      ),
     ),

Step 2 : We can assign the values to smarty variable in custom/modules/<desired_module>/views/view.detail.php and can use the smarty variable

$this->dv->ss->assign('mail_to_members', '<input type="button" 
onclick="javascript: location.href=\'mailto:?bcc='.$mem_email.'\'" value="Mail to Members"/>');
