I recently made some customizations to html_buttons.php. This was being done to affect the {exp:comment_buttons}.

I’m now needing to use the {formatting_buttons} for an SAEF but it looks as if these are called for another file because the generated mark-up produced is rendering the buttons in the table which I eliminated from html_buttons.php.

Are these coming from cp_publish.php?

If so, I guess it would need to be a feature request to have the mark-up simplified by removing the table?

Thanks.

hothousegraphix,

Are you aware you can edit those buttons from inside your control panel?

EE Docs : Default HTML Buttons

Hey John, yup I am.

So I’d guess by you’re question these are in fact generated from cp_publish.php? I just want to take a look under the hood so to speak.

I’m looking at needing to probably create an extension/plugin to take over this functionality because I need to add some additional features; (an extra button to allow users the ability to embed a video object). Not uploading but linking to externally hosted. The idea being that this when the user selects the “video” formatting button, a JS alert is fired requesting the video link - and on confirm, the proper code is added to their textarea.

I’ve done this for the comment formatting buttons but would need this feature to also be applied to an SAEF.

So here’s a few questions about the button behavior. Each user has the ability to conceivably edit these from within their control panel if they had access (which they don’t). Is there a way to have one users button setup apply to all “members”?

Also, is there any reason the mark-up for these buttons is so complicated; i.e. a single row table with multiple cells? When I edited the html_buttons.php output I eliminated all of that an am simply writing a series of links. This cuts down on the html that’s output and the necessary css.

I’m sure at this point you’re going to move this thread - could you move to the HOW-TO rather than the extensions or plugins forums? I never have any success getting anyone to respond to my posts in those forums - they’re like black holes!

Thanks

Michael,

yeah I though it was gonna be more complicated than that.

While I am gonna move this one to the How to forum may I suggest Ryan’s MD Markitup Extension which is great for creating your own customised buttons.

I use it for commenting and the backend without a need for hacking the core code.

Ha, I’m actually already using Markitup. The needs for these buttons are specific with respect to functionality and style.

I wonder if, with one install of his extension it’s possible to run two different sets of buttons. One with the default styling provided and one jazzed up for the client side.

I’ll have to look at this further.

Thanks

- hothousegraphix, did you ever find the answer to this? i’d love to know how to do this..

Thanks
James
