Help needed in adding TinyMCE button

[Impaler]

Hi, I am struggling in order to introduce a new menu button to the TinyMCE editor of Vivvo CMS 4.1.1. I'm really out of luck but perhaps you could help me to add a very useful feature to Vivvo CMS's TinyMCE editor which I believe would be useful to many.

The idea is like this: Many news websites who re-post some articles from other websites or journals usually adds such info at the end of the article "Source" and a small banner of a certain website from where the article was originally taken.

Vivvo has no such feature to organize "sources" so to say.

TinyMCE has a useful code example right there: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/example_18.php

In there you can place your own banner codes and select them from the menu. Saves time better than each time adding a banner manually.

I'm looking for someone to do this for me. AND write a brief step-by-step guide how did you do that because I'll need that in my future websites.

Will pay in paypal (verified).

yes, I'd be interested. I am not sure about the step by step guide though. To replicate the work into another website/vivvo installation will probably require at least a little bit of knowledge of javascript.

I dont accept paypal but I do accept online credit card payments through my company.

As for time/cost, my rate is $75/hour and I estimate 3-5 hours to implement your new button/functionality. If there are no glitches between the new javascript and all of the existing vivvo/tinymce scripts it will go quick. If there are issues that need to be resolved, obviously it will take more time!

As for the step by step, I'd be willing to donate some of my own time to do that... perhaps 50% and its probably a few extra hours or so to write that so that it's detailed enough for other users to use as a guide.

Let me know if you want to discuss more or if you prefer to wait for other replies :)

sorry, needed no more, figured it out myself. :D ta-dah!

As a standard method of practice we are all very glad that you figured it out and were successful. The design of Vivvo is meant to allow a huge amount of freedom to tailor your installation(s) with a high degree of flexibility, making it possible for you to have such customizations.

Would you care to share what you did? Perhaps post your insight in the forums so everyone might benefit? :)

Please do share.

I have a news website and I want to do exactly the same thing

I will share it a bit later next week or this weekend.

BTW that script is VERY simple to add as I have came to see. No need to play with it for 3-5 hours as DRIVE said. :D Or pay a gigantic sum of money for such a small-time thingy. :)

Well, sometimes you pay knowledge, not the time spent :)

That's not how IT works/jobs in my country. You pay for results, not for time spent doing that. ;)

:rolleyes: thats not very nice. I am fairly certain that if it weren't for me you'd still be struggling with it. http://www.vivvo.net/forums/showpost.php?p=22738&postcount=2

As a developer, when I work on someones site I allow plenty of time so the user doesnt get a surprise after I give them an ESTIMATE. My company has hundreds of clients, big ones, and we've built many hundreds of websites. My reputation for billing people is second to none. My reputation for failure to deploy a site or mechanism is ZERO. I'm not some hacker that works on sites casually, or asks the community for help and then takes the credit for it ;)

with that said, I'm glad you have it working. We look forward to your step by step tutorial so everyone can benefit FREE of CHARGE :D

sorry DRIVE but I could give you credit at least for telling me to mess with tinymce config file. how to place my code in the buttons - I knew already. I'm happy that you've got a big company. good 4 u, mate.

if nothin comes up, I'll have that hack ready in less than 24 hours. :)
