BBCode Button

[mobster46]

I added bbcode. How can I create a button for this?

BBCodes are for use within post content, such as text formatting, spoilers, etc. You can't use BBCodes for post control buttons...those can be added via a template edit (whether auto or manual).

Too hard to do this? Bbcode to integrate there?

I use this bbcode>https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=299403

But I would like it to be a post control button.

BBCode buttons show up in your toolbar...they aren't meant for use elsewhere, as they provide a means of adding functionality to your post content.

It's not so much that "it's too difficult", but more that this simply isn't what the purpose of BBCodes is.

For example, on my local dev site, you can see my custom BBCode buttons in the third row:



These buttons generate tags within the editor that are used to add mathematics, live graphs, spoilers, videos, post templates, etc.

I want to use it for the features you mentioned. But I want to change one of the buttons so that it will be where I am. Is this difficult?

I'm not following what you want to do...please explain more thoroughly.

Yes, it is possible to program a button anywhere on a page containing the ckeditor to add to or alter post content. My "Quote Break" button is an example, and another is my "Quick Latex" element that I coded at MHB for easily constructing LaTeX markup.

But, for general purpose BBCodes, why would you want them anywhere but the toolbar?

I just want the managers to see it. This way, it will be more practical. and as if it were part of the Moderator tool.

It will be a good deal of effort to do so. A better solution would be to simply instruct your staff on how to use that BBCode.
