I read some posts involving the setup of extra edit buttons for the editing toolbar that helped me. Some folks seemed to have difficulty. Since I did get it to work, I wanted to post what I did. It ended up being very simple.
The source code for the Extra Edit Buttins (XEB) is found at the following URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkS/Extra_edit_buttons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js
The subject of the thread I read follows:
[Mediawiki-l] A more advanced editing toolbar (the subject of the thread)
I am using MediaWiki version 1.9.3, so that may be why it worked so well. The key for me was accessing and editing the page MediaWiki:common.js as WikiSysop. I used lowercase for common.js, but when I now search for it, I find MediaWiki:Common.js. So it looks like case on common.js doesn't matter. I don't care why right now. :-)
I simply cut and pasted the extraeditbuttons.js code into that page and all worked well. Now I have XEB available to all users.
I still have to review the code to determine what I need to do to use local copies of the images for the buttons. Also there is mention of moving the live.css file locally as well. But both are secondary issues for me right now.
Carlos,
So you know .. get the graphis from Wikimedia then upload (or email me off line for a zip of the graphic). Then change the js to look at your own files instead of all instances of Wikimedia.org
So change all ..
