Button not appearing!
Joomla 3.3 Custom Text Button v1.4 activated.
Any successions?

# admin 2014-05-09 16:32

Just tested on fresh 3.3 installation - works fine. Do you have other plugins/compone nts that add similar buttons?

# Roli 2014-05-10 12:09

Thanks for reply. Can't see any failure.
Using the button at bottom of Editor-Window, get the string {loadposition Gallery}. But no Button appears, when the article is displayed.

Found the download. Enabled plugin and added text. Button wouldn't show and got this error message:

Use of undefined constant PLG_SYSTEM_J2XM L_BUTTON_EXPORT - assumed 'PLG_SYSTEM_J2XM L_BUTTON_EXPORT' in C:\xampp\htdocs \sub\plugins\sy stem\j2xml\j2xm l.php on line 95

Any ideas what the problem might be, please?

# admin 2013-08-19 08:58

That error seems to be coming from J2XML plugin.

I'm trying to use your plugin with Ari Document Viewer.

I want your plugin to add the text:

{aridoc engine="google" width="500" height="400"}media/k2/attachments/YOUR-FILENAME-HERE{/aridoc}

It works, except Ari Doc processes it when you click the button so the text doesn't appear, just the box where Ari Doc is trying to display a file that hasn't been specified. I did contact them first...they looked into it and said their plugin isn't compatible with yours. So, I'm assuming you won't be able to help, but I wanted to confirm there isn't anything I could do to have it insert the text without Ari Doc processing it before it's published.

Thanks!

Just installed under joomla 3.1 and the button it creates is invisible - mouseover shows tooltip, and if you click that area it works, but no button shows on the button bar... any ideas?

# admin 2013-05-22 07:08

Upgrade to the latest version. Starting v1.3 plugin is Joomla 3.1 compatible.

# Jerry Titus 2013-04-28 12:37

I'm trying to add the following code to the button but can't seem to get it to display...

Popup link in a 800x600 modal window. Replace *all* of this text with the text to be displayed

# Jerry Titus 2013-04-28 13:00

The code I am trying to enter is the third example on this page, below the picture of the joomla modal.

Try placing \ (backslash) in front of ' (single quotes)

# Juhy 2013-04-04 07:36

When i click on costum button, the custom text is inserted, but then page go refresh - why? i'm using Google Chrome browser

# Marco 2013-04-04 01:44

Any possibility that you can add this feature?
When a user clicks on the custom button, it prompts them to fill in an input field?

Sort of like how the default "page break" button asks for a "Page Title" and "Table of contents alias"

# Gorgo 2013-04-03 11:17

It's is not possible when I click on button, he add a specific image in the text editor ? (but without pass by toggle editor) I would like he put directly image.

Thanks a lot !

# maz2390 2013-01-23 02:00

I'm trying to add this code to the button so my bloggers have easier access to a lightbox feature however, it isn't saving it. Maybe because it's too long? It saves it if I delete some of it!

# admin 2013-01-23 08:15

What code? Maybe Joomla is stripping it out.
Try setting Text Filters to No Filtering

this code:

had to edit out tags

# admin 2013-01-23 13:53

Can you add long text if doesn't have any html tags? Just trying to find out if tags are causing your issue.

# maz2390 2013-01-23 14:05

Yeah that seems fine

+1 # admin 2013-03-06 14:00

Issue is now resolved. Download version 1.2

# zefrenchmen 2012-12-22 19:39

Pardon the n00b question, but I want to use the buttons to insert a link that comes back often on my site. The button won't hold the html, it strips it to the text itself. Ideas of what I'm doing wrong ?

# admin 2013-03-06 14:02

This is fixed in version 1.2

# lakshmanan 2012-10-30 13:10

Simple & powerful plugin... class plgButtonMyButt on extends JPlugin { function onDisplay($name ) { $txt = $this->params-> get('my_button' , '[set your custom text in plugin parameters]'); $label = $this->params-> get('label', 'My Button'); $jsCode = " function insertMyButton( editor) { jInsertEditorTe xt('".$txt."', editor); } "; $doc = JFactory::getDo cument(); $doc->addScript Declaration($js Code); $button = new JObject(); $button->set('t ext',$label); $button->set('n ame','blank'); $button->set('o nclick', 'insertMyButton (\''.$name.'\') '); return $button; } }

I've duplicated the class and added few buttons.

Must have plugin...!!!

how to create multiply buttons?

# Lakshmanan PHP 2012-12-09 17:30

By duplicating the plugin you can create more buttons.

copy and paste custom text plugin. rename it to your button name. lets call it my button.

replace the custom text class name with my button in all occurrences.

Please refer the sample code in my previous comment.

Hope this helps
