Hi, first i have to say it is an exelent extention, i have been looking very much for somthing like this...

i am looking to move it next to media manager under editor area
this is a module so use module position hmmmm
i have success to move it in toolbar but stile not good there
i if i am not mistaken i think i have to create a plugins or somthing like this
linkr (an extention for internal link) is doing the trick with a plugins

i am trying to do the same but my knowledge are much under what is required ( i have been trying for 3 days without success lol)

do you have any idea how i can do it
thank you

"ok, i didnt get to the point yet, but just to let you know what i have try to do and didnt work

#target : put the link under editor next to media manager or under parameter on the right column

FIRSA SCENARIO :
first is change the module position
i have put for position "below_editor"
i then went to hack the com_content/admin.content.html.php
i have put there the famous {loadposition below_editor}
as you can imagine it didnt work
this thing seams to work only in editor...

SECOND SCENARIO :
unstead using {loadposition below_editor}
i have use somthing else to call module in php file (i found on google how to do it)

using this :
global $mainframe;
$module = array(
", "below_editor,
", "mod_chrome,
", "mod_suffix
);
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onLoadModule', $module);

As you can imagine didn't work too, maybe i did somthing wrong...

i am stile looking, if sombody could help, it would be very appreciated

Thanks"

it actually put a button exactly next to image button bilow the editor(where i need "link to menu" to be)

Please admin, i am sure this is a peace of cake for you, can you help me ??

Thank you

Well, the problem of an editor button (editors-xtd plugin) is that it only shows on pages with an editor. Which limits the possibilities. It will work ok for a standard article page. But there are also pages that have no editor or have multiple editors! (like from certain CCK pages).

My first setup of Add to Menu was as an editor button, but for the reasons mentioned I made a statusbar module from it.

As said earlier in this thread, the styling of the button is aimed at it being in the status bar. Moving it to another location will cause it to loose its styling and maybe even functionality.

aham, i understand what you mean, and it seams logic
but i maybe say somthing wrong because i didnt test cck, but i use some other tools, and what i can tell you is that those editor-xtd button are everywhere there is an editor (even when you creant custom html module, there is an editor, the buttons are there as part of editor) since i posted, i have seen in the code, it seams that it was originally a plugins and then you have transform into module....
is it possible to have the original plugins ??
i am in miami it is 6:13 i can not sleep, i am unfortunatly too stupide to do it myself and i get very very frustrated

Please help

If I may ask, what's wrong with it being a status module?
Why do you need it to be an editor plugin?

well, first is to be more estetic... when i installed it first i was looking for it like 5 minute until i saw the screen on your website.. second the personne i am doin this is more stupide than me ( you can imagine lool) on the top it doesnt look related to it... making it a xtd plugins would be perfect... i am even ready to make a nice donation to have this working... i could use it for my future websites... this is a must have.. i dont understand how it is not frome core
I am sure for this many many prople would donat.. belive me i have read all forums on the internet ...

Well, I don't have time to make this for you at the moment. I will put it on my todo list for future version.

i need it for next week...
is it possible for you ?? i am ready to pay.. please
tell me how much if it is possible
Thank you very much

Well, no, I wouldn't be able to do that before next week.
First off: I am trying to have a short Holiday.
Secondly: I have a lot of projects (paid) on the pile as it is.

Paid projects = 55 euros an hour...

Did you ever get around to doing this? I saw on teh JED back in January that you were looking at making it an editor button. I'd love it if you could get this working, I have given people the ability to create/edit and publish from the front end. It would be excellent if they could click apply and then click the add to menu button from the front end. I've given them the ability to see a lit of all published articles if they are logged in so even if they messed up and clicked save first they could go back into it and then assign it to a menu item. This is a really great feature which could be made and 'Excellent feature" if it were available form the front end. I have a group of customers (charity job, always done for nothing and far more work than the paying ones lol) which I feel if I let them into the back end they'll get seriously confused and probably start creating all manor of mistakes. This will be a commercial site (they will be paying hosting) so I assume I have to buy a license which I'll happily do if it has front end functionality.

I really do hope this is possible.

I look forward to your reply
Huw

Nope, haven't come round to making it work like a frontend editor button.
It is somewhere on a todo list, but not a priority at the moment.
Don't have much time to implement completely new features into my extensions at the moment. Have to concentrate on paid projects to get my bills paid.

Shame Out of curiosity, if we wanted this function added, how much would it actually cost?

I think it would cost me 4-6 hours. My hourly rate is €60,=.
But I won't have time to do it in the coming weeks...

Oh well! It was worth asking I guess
