You know, if I published this on Codex, it would the “official” way. At least until someone changed it! And I might do that, but I have reasons to keep it here as well.

Let me know when you have something posted, I’ll link to you.

Also, Rails is as much about the ecosystem and community as it is the technology. It’s as active and exciting as early web, or early Linux years. And the technology really rocks!

Great article and information.

I had already downloaded, today, someone’s plugin which added a two buttons to the toolbar, and he did it the same way as you. I was feeling kind of doubtful that this is the official way, like I need to search codex.wordpress for the “real” way to do it but didn’t find this particular strategy of generating js with the php.
So I did a search for plugin hack ed_toolbar and your site came up and you’ve reaffirmed that this is indeed the way I will go about writing my own plugin which ikewise adds some buttons for my own purpose.
When I”m done with the plugin, I’ll post it to my blog and mention your website.
Thanks again
Steve

So, I thought I’d just add another option to the LINK tag so that I could set a target, relation and maybe even add a title. But NO. Once you get into the quicktags.js you realize it’s a bit of a mess trying to reverse engineer it.
I started hacking the core, and still couldn’t get a friggin’ alert box to pop.

Thanks for showing us the right way and keeping it orderly!

And you're writing a little note about this, right? So that I can link to it when you publish, right? Awesome! .-= Dave´s last blog ..Refreshing Your Pillar Content By Recycling Blog Posts =-.

@EJ – Writing these kinds of articles is part of why I have a hard time keeping up with twitter, commenting, all the other stuff I’m sposed to do as a “responsible blogger!”

Thanks for reading. I have many more of these articles both in draft and in my head, waiting to get the time and energy to ensure they are written correctly before I pull the “Publish” trigger.

Yeah, you’ve left me in your dust in terms of familiarity with WordPress.
I can tell this is rich, but it is way over my head. I haven’t dabbled in this yet at all.
