It is almost code golf, but this is the smallest piece of code that I could up with that will create a button on the Visual editor to turn the current paragraph in a <h2>
block.
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'wpse18719_tiny_mce_before_init' );
function wpse18719_tiny_mce_before_init( $initArray )
{
$initArray['setup'] = <<<JS
[function(ed) {
ed.addButton('h2', {
title : 'H2',
image : 'img/example.gif',
onclick : function() {
ed.formatter.toggle( 'h2' );
}
});
}][0]
JS;
return $initArray;
}
add_filter( 'mce_buttons', 'wpse18719_mce_buttons' );
function wpse18719_mce_buttons( $mce_buttons )
{
$mce_buttons[] = 'h2';
return $mce_buttons;
}
It is based on a TinyMCE code sample and uses a trick to pass a function as the setup
variable (which will not be needed in 3.2 anymore).
To add a button to the HTML editor you can extend the much simpler “quicktags” code by enqueuing this extra Javascript file:
jQuery( function( $ ) {
var h2Idx = edButtons.length;
edButtons[h2Idx] = new edButton(
'ed_h2' // id
,'h2' // display
,'<h2>' // tagStart
,'</h2>' // tagEnd
,'2' // access
);
var h2Button = $( '<input type="button" id="ed_h2" accesskey="2" class="ed_button" value="h2">' );
h2Button.click( function() {
edInsertTag( edCanvas, h2Idx );
} );
// Insert it anywhere you want. This is after the <i> button
h2Button.insertAfter( $( '#ed_em' ) );
// This is at the end of the toolbar
// h2Button.appendTo( $( '#ed_toolbar' ) );
} );
