Insert HTML editor button allows users to paste arbitrary HTML code into current selection without having to switch to HTML mode. This is especially useful when you get a piece of code like Paypal buttons or Google Adsense to insert into your page.

Tested WYSWYG editors: TinyMCE

Instructions for use:

  • Download both plugins, CORE and EDITOR BUTTON
  • Go to Joomla Administrator and install both plugins from "Extensions" -> "Install"
  • Go to "Extensions" -> "Plugin Manager" and enable both plugins
  • IMPORTANT! Joomla 1.5.8 or later: Disable Joomla HTML filter (read below)
  • Insert any HTML code using the new editor button

Description:

Some editors (i.e. TinyMCE) will strip HTML tags and entities when you enter them in the WYSIWYG view. For that reason the BUTTON pluging translates some HTML entities inserted in editor view. The chars translated are:

single quote > {apos}
double quote > {quot}
amphersand > {amp}

The BUTTON plugin will help you to insert HTML code. he code inserted will be surrounded with {HTML }...{/HTML } tags and entities translated.

The CORE plugin render any HTML code surrounded with {HTML }...{/HTML } tags in frontend.

Security considerations:

only managers, administrators and superadministrators can insert code with this extension.
