Extension talk:WikiEditor/Toolbar customization

Problem with adding a new section
Hi, Adding buttons work fine, but adding a sections does not work that well. If you add a section, open it and reload the page the textarea will not be fully visible. Is there some easy way to refresh it's height?

Code used:

Is this a bug? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong. --Nux 02:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Switching from Monobook
If you're just switching from Monobook and looking for a way to keep your mwCustomEditButtonse without too much hassle, see insertVectorButtons.js. This small script almost does it for you by translating the old way to the new way. Ofcourse if you're up for an adventure and/or want to use the more advanced feautures of the new toolbar you'll have to learn the native syntax (see examples here). If you have any questions about it, please let me know on my meta talkpage or the scripts talkpage. --Krinkle / Krinkle 23:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Moving a button

 * 1) How can I move a button from the "advanced" menu to main menu?
 * 2) How can I cancel an empty menu?
 * 3) How can I create a custom menu based on the "special characters" menu? i.e. I'd like to add a new menu named "Codes & templates" where it'll have a submenu: Titles, Templates, Maintenance. Each submene will have a list of codes/templated. for example, Titles will have "==References==\n
 * tab - adds a tab character
 * &amp;nbsp;
 * &amp;rlm; (especially useful for RTL projects, although somewhat problematic in itself)

(I actually disagree with some of the additions, but that's not the point of this message.)

The icons that were used for these added buttons were either taken from Monobook or drawn ad hoc.


 * Is there a repository of icons for extra buttons?
 * If we create some new and better Vector-style icons by ourselves, where should we share them, so all language projects will be able to reuse them easily?
 * Is there a style guide for drawing Vector icons? --Amir E. Aharoni 08:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd upload them to commons. Many old style buttons are already there, although a new category "Buttons for Vector skin" or so may be desirable. If you create new buttons, you should dual license them GPL to make sure there's no problem in potentially shipping them with mediawiki in the future. Platonides 00:04, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I had asked the he.wiki graphics guys to create new icons, and they did, but as it turns out, it needs to be done with transparent background, as there are diff background colors in the toolbar.
 * Re gallery, there already is a page for toolbar icons in commons: MediaWiki_edit_toolbar. Obviously more can be created and added to the page. 213.8.121.230 11:11, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
