TinyMCE - superscript button in backend text editor

[jtob]

Hey there,

I use quite a lot of superscript numbers in my texts. I can insert them using <sup> but it is time-consuming.

I tried to activate the extra superscript buttons in the normal text editor bar. I added the following code to ThemeFunctions.php, which I was hoping would trigger the hidden TinyMCE button:

function my_mce_buttons_2( $buttons ) {	
	/**
	 * Add in a core button that's disabled by default
	 */
	$buttons[] = 'superscript';
	$buttons[] = 'subscript';

	return $buttons;
}
add_filter( 'mce_buttons_2', 'my_mce_buttons_2' );

This didn't have any impact on the backend text editor. I tried a few iterations of the same code, but same thing.

After reading a few other posts on here talking about TinyMCE, I am guessing you are using a custom text editor and it's not possible to add these superscript buttons. Is that right? If there's a way to show them, please do let me know :)

Thanks!
Jonas

Dear @jtob
this is probably true.

Ok, thank you for writing. We will have a look also with Armin and hope to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for using LayTheme!

i change buttons like this too:

	add_filter( 'mce_buttons' , array($this, 'add_textformats_button_if_textformats_everywhere'), 10, 2 );
	add_filter( 'mce_buttons_2' , array($this, 'second_tinymce_button_row'), 10, 2 );

and then

function second_tinymce_button_row($buttons, $editor_id){
	$everywhere = get_option('gridder_options_textformats_everywhere', '');
	$minimal_buttons = get_option( 'gridder_options_minimal_wysiwyg_buttons', "" );
	if($everywhere == "on" && $minimal_buttons == "on"){
		return array();
	}

	return $buttons;
}

not sure why it doesnt work for u

i cant really help u here
