Hi Frits

No answer for your button problems, but the least confusing terminology 
for wiki farms is to call the wiki that has the "farmconfig.php" file 
the "home wiki" (as you have done) and refer to any of the other wikis 
in the farm as just "wikis".

If you need to emphasize the fact that something doesn't work outside 
the home wiki, then you could say:
"in any of the other wikis in the farm..."
or
"in any non-home wiki ..."
or
"in all the wikis in my farm (except the home wiki) ...

The "field" terminology is more confusing than helpful. The "farm" in 
wiki farm is meant as an anology to a server farm and not to an 
agricultural entity.
