Manual:Custom edit buttons





You have to differentiate between the old toolbar and the new one added by Extension:WikiEditor.

To add new buttons you need to include them in your personal JavaScript. In Localsettings.php add $wgAllowUserJs = true; or in the MediaWiki:Common.js or as a Gadget.

Extension:WikiEditor

 * See: Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar customization for more on the wikiEditor

You may also use the InsertWikiEditorButton script (by Krinkle) to simplify adding buttons to the wikiEditor.

can be used to check if a user is using the wikiEditor (true) or the old toolbar (false).

Add buttons
You can add custom edit buttons to the edit toolbar above the edit window.

To add custom edit buttons, edit:


 * User:Your username/skinname.js -- the buttons will only show up for yourself. (Important: In Localsettings.php add $wgAllowUserJs = true; )


 * or MediaWiki:Common.js -- they will show to all wiki users.

Example:


 * {|width=20%


 * }


 * imageFile is the full URL address to the edit button image.
 * tagOpen is the opening tag,  in this example:
 * sampleText is the sample text that will appear between the opening and closing tags. The editor should replace this sample text with his or her own text.
