How to use setblock command for placing stone button on the left side of the command block
I tried to use the command setblock ~1 ~ ~ stone_button but then it places a button on air.
I'm running Minecraft 14w11b snapshot from the 1.8 snapshots.
Does someone know how to fix this?

You should change the command to:
setblock ~1 ~ ~ stone_button 1
The datavalue is required to change which direction the button is facing, and thus what surface it is on:
1 = East, 2 = West, 3 = South, 4 = North, 5 = Up
You can also add 8 to any of those to turn it into a pressed button in the same direction.

How do you place buttons on command blocks?
Select the lever in your hotbar. Then position your pointer (the plus sign) on the block where you want to place the lever. You should now see the lever on the ground next to the command block.How do you use command blocks with Setblock?

setblock ~1 ~ ~ stone_button
In this case, the number represents a direction, relative to the command block.
- 0 = DOWN
- 1 = EAST
- 2 = WEST
