TinyMCE button support for plugins

[alexrabe]

I don't know if this is already recognized, but the most plugins which used the buttonsnap.php class from Owen Winkler didn't work anymore with the new TinyMCE version in 2.1 . This will bring a bigger problem for the most users, when a couple of plugins don't show the plugin button in the RTE.

I know that buttonsnap is not a core part of wordpress, but you should remind that a plenty of plugins have the requirement to show a button, and they use many times buttonsnap as the easiest solution.

At the moment it needs 6(!) action hooks/filter to show a simple button and some time to study the TinyMCE "plugin" documentation at moxiecode. Maybe there is some way to implement a core hook in the tinyMCE plugin folder , which assist a button integration in the way of the buttonsnap class.

On the other hand a extended codex description could be also very usefull...

Hi Viper,

I saw you change the milestone form 2.1 to -> 2.2 which is reasonable.

Did you prepare any documantation on the web for 2.1 which explain the way how to integrate a button until we work on 2.2 ?

I only ask that, to avoid double work. . I can do that by myself, but I need somebody for correction and assit...

For now we can call this a duplicate of #3563, although this is a better bug report, the other has devel attention.
