I've written a shortcode and its functioning like it should. Now the hard part:
I would like to show the user a preview already in the tinyMCE editor. Loading CSS in the editor is not a problem for me, but i would love to know if it is possible to already process the shortcode within TinyMCE.
Thanks!
Let the code talk:
I'll put a code to add a visual icon for highlight content word(s) shortcode, and you can then implement any other shortcode you want with the same logic,
class spot_shortcodes {
function spot_shortcodes()
{
add_action('init', array(&$this, 'init'));
}
function init(){
// Enable shortcodes in text widgets
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );
// Fix for large posts, http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8553
@ini_set( 'pcre.backtrack_limit', 500000 );
// init process for button control
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_version', 'my_refresh_mce');
// Add only in Rich Editor mode
if ( get_user_option('rich_editing') == 'true') {
add_filter('mce_buttons_3', array(&$this, 'register_highlight_button'));
}
}
// Add your button plugin js code to tinyMCE
// codex: wp_register_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer );
wp_register_script( 'effects-highlight', SPOT_SHORTCODES_URL . '/js/jquery.effects.highlight.js', false ,SPOT_SHORTCODES_URL, true );
function add_youtube_button() {
// Don't bother doing this stuff if the current user lacks permissions
if ( ! current_user_can('edit_posts') && ! current_user_can('edit_pages') )
return;
// Add only in Rich Editor mode
if ( get_user_option('rich_editing') == 'true') {
add_filter("mce_external_plugins", array(&$this, "add_youtube_tinymce_plugin"));
add_filter('mce_buttons', array(&$this, 'register_highlight_button'));
}
}
// function to register you button to tinyMCE dashboard
function register_highlight_button($buttons) {
array_push($buttons, "|", 'highlight_button');
return $buttons;
}
function add_youtube_tinymce_plugin($plugin_array) {
// your icon image(highlight.png) which will be displayed in the tinyMCE dashboard
$plugin_array['highlight'] = SPOT_TINYMCE_URL . '/icons-lib-custom.js';
return $plugin_array;
}
} // class end
// Finally make an object from your button
$spot_shortcodes = new spot_shortcodes();
Our js code for the highlight button option
make an dot js file put the followin code in it and put it in the tinyMCE plugin directory
// dont forget to change the paths
tinymce.create('tinymce.plugins.highlight', {
// creates control instances based on the control's id.
// our button's id is "highlight_button"
createControl : function(id, controlManageradel) {
if (id == 'highlight_button') {
// creates the button
var button = controlManageradel.createButton('highlight', {
title : 'Add a Hightlight Text', // title of the button
image :spotShortcodes.plugin_folder +"/tinymce/images/highlight.png", // path to the button's image
onclick : function() {
// triggers the thickhighlight
var width = jQuery(window).width(), H = jQuery(window).height(), W = ( 720 < width ) ? 720 : width;
W = W - 80;
H = H - 84;
tb_show( 'Insert text box shortcode', '#TB_inline?width=' + W + '&height=' + H + '&inlineId=highlight-form' );
}
});
return button;
}
return null;
}
});
// registers the plugin. DON'T MISS THIS STEP!!!
tinymce.PluginManager.add('highlight', tinymce.plugins.highlight);
// executes this when the DOM is ready
jQuery(function(){
// creates a form to be displayed everytime the button is clicked
// you should achieve this using AJAX instead of direct html code like this
var form = jQuery('<div id="highlight-form"><table id="highlight-table" class="form-table" style="text-align: left">\
\
\
<tr>\
<th><label class="title" for="highlight-bg">Highlight color</label></th>\
<td><select name="bg" id="highlight-bg">\
<option value="#f02d33">Red</option>\
<option value="#b6bbbd">Grey</option>\
<option value="#3e3c3c">Darkgrey</option>\
<option value="#99cc33">Lightgreen</option>\
<option value="#6c8c2d">Darkgreen</option>\
<option value="#0f5ac6">Blue</option>\
<option value="#3cbcf7">Cyan</option>\
<option value="#9219f8">Purple</option>\
<option value="#fcc016">Yellow</option>\
<option value="#f65e0e">Orange</option>\
</select><br />\
<div class="info"><small>Select box type.</small></div></td>\
</tr>\
<tr>\
<th><label class="title" for="highlight-contet">Conent</label></th>\
<td><textarea rows="7"\ cols="45"name="content" id="highlight-content">hightlight text</textarea>\
<br />\
<div><small>this text displayed in box.</small></div></td>\
</tr>\
</table>\
<p class="submit">\
<input type="button" id="highlight-submit" class="button-primary" value="Insert shortcode" name="submit" style=" margin: 10px 150px 50px; float:left;"/>\
</p>\
</div>');
var table = form.find('table');
form.appendTo('body').hide();
// handles the click event of the submit button
form.find('#highlight-submit').click(function(){
// defines the options and their default values
// again, this is not the most elegant way to do this
// but well, this gets the job done nonetheless
var options = {
'bg' : '#f02d33',
'content' : 'hightlight text',
};
var shortcode = '[highlight ';
for( var index in options) {
var value = table.find('#highlight-' + index).val();
// attaches the attribute to the shortcode only if it's different from the default value
if ( value !== options[index] & index !== 'content')
shortcode += ' ' + index + '="' + value + '"';
}
shortcode += ']'+ value + '[/highlight]'
// inserts the shortcode into the active editor
tinyMCE.activeEditor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', 0, shortcode);
// closes Thickhighlight
tb_remove();
});
});
I hope this help, give me you feedback if you want any more explanation, thanks.
