How to extend the FCKeditor toolbox ?

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to extend the FCKeditor toolbox ? I have followed the instructions and have integrated the FCKeditor to the mediaWiki. As for my work, I'm asked to research to see how the FCKeditor toolbox can be extended to include new features and functionalities. So, for example, the FCKeditor already has buttons to bold text, italicize text, and underline text, if I now want to add a new button to indent text, where in the mediaWiki should I go to add my code ? I appreciate your response. Thanks a lot.

This page seems to outline how to create toolbar buttons:

Unfortunately, this link

http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x ... n/Plug-ins

seems useful only with the FCKeditor itself. In my case, I have the FCKeditor integrated with the mediaWiki.

The given link addressed an example on how to create a "find-replace" plugin. It assumes that the default plugin path is "editor/plugins/" but these two directories, "editor" and "plugin", do not exist in the mediaWiki. How do I do it then ? Thanks.

Re: How to extend the FCKeditor toolbox ?

have you looked in \extensions\FCKeditor\fckeditor\editor\ ? the plugins directory is there. the mediawiki extension contains the full fckeditor inside it. I think plugins may have a bit of trouble though, if they are outputting html that is. i remember trying a plugin inside of mediawiki+fckeditor and had limited luck because of that.
