Add custom Button to TinyMCE Editor

by pixelithe on Februar 17, 2010

One of these days I stumbled across a not-so-old problem that I finally gave the attention it needed to be solved.

I wanted to add an extra custom button to WordPress TinyMCE Editor with which a piece of code or text could be inserted.

I found this Article by an amazing girl named Deanna Schneider that gave me about 80% of the solution.

I downloaded the code and just made a few changes to the tinymce/windows.php file and that did the trick. Here’s what I did:

  • put my own Text into the Variable tagtext
  • Made the Input field into a hidden field and gave it a value of 1
  • Edited the image for the button to be something I like

Thank you Deanna Schneider!
