Haven't come across a specific thread for repairing buttons, zips and other stuff to do with pants.
This is a common problem for me. I always have a torrid time with my flies. Either the button pings off, falls off or the zip fucks up somehow.
Rather than throw away perfectly good pairs of pants, I always try to fix them.
This is one site that's golden in my experience: http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Broken-Zipper
But, alas, I have encountered a new problem that I cannot find the answer to:

Any inventive engineering solutions? safety pin? string and glue? baking soda?
I have like nine pairs of these pants and six of them now have this problem: The zipper is now on only one side of the flies. I can't re-attach it without some engineering work.
I know, I know "Buy better pants" is probably gonna be the first answer. But these fit perfectly and I spent hours trying to find ones that fit as good as these, so I don't want to wear different ones
Cheers, and hopefully other pant-repair tips/queries can follow below:
