The '''Extra edit buttons''' script (XEB) was written by [[wikipedia:User:MarkS|MarkS]] of Wikipedia, and it is used on OniGalore to extend the default buttons available to editors. However, by reading the documentation below, you can take things a step further and use XEB to customize the toolbar as it appears for you.  You can:

* Define new buttons, and even attach pop-up dialogs to them.

==Re-ordering the buttons==
XEB parses a string variable called <tt>XEBOrder</tt> to know which buttons to place in the toolbar in which order.  If there is no <tt>XEBOrder</tt> variable defined already, it supplies the value for <tt>XEBOrder</tt> from the hardcoded variable <tt>XEBOrder2</tt>. Therefore, you can use the custom JavaScript page provided by MediaWiki, [[Special:MyPage/monobook.js|monobook.js]], to set <tt>XEBOrder</tt>, and if you then run the XEB code afterwards, it will use your own button-order string.
 
First, look at the page with [[XEB]]'s code -- find the <tt>initButtons()</tt> function, and you'll see the default button order:
 
<code>
XEBOrder2="0,1,U,F,D,C,D1,4,A,2,3,E,G,8,H,9".split(",");
</code>
 
Let's say that you wanted to move the "Insert signature" button from the right to the left side of the toolbar. Looking at the table on the right, you can see that the signature button has the ID "9", so you would add this text to [[Special:MyPage/monobook.js|your monobook.js]]:
<code>
XEBOrder="9,0,1,U,F,D,C,D1,4,A,2,3,E,G,8,H";
importScript('MediaWiki:Common.js/edit.js');
</code>
 
Notice that the "9" comes first now.  You will not see the "Insert signature" button move up in the actual toolbar, however, until your cache is cleared. [[wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache|Here are some instructions]] from Wikipedia, but if you are using a Mac and Google Chrome, you should be hitting Shift-Reload to refresh the cache for the page.  Note that you will have to be on a wiki page in editing mode before trying this if you want to see the change take effect before your eyes.
 
==Adding buttons==
As you can see on the right, there's lots more choices available than what the default toolbar provides.  For instance, here's [[User:Iritscen|my]] custom toolbar code:
 
{{User:Iritscen/monobook.js}}
 
You might be wondering why I have a commented-out line that sets <tt>myButtons</tt>. What's ''that'' for?
 
==Defining new buttons==
XEB can also work with extra buttons created by the user. To do this you must define the <tt>myButtons</tt> variable in [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js|your monobook.js]]. The format of <tt>myButtons</tt> is:
 
<pre>
myButtons={'_CODE1':['url1','Tooltip1','Before1','After1','Text1'],
'_CODE2':['url2','Tooltip2','Before2','After2','Text2']};
</pre>
 
where:
 
* Code is a code for the button. You should place this code in <tt>XEBOrder</tt> to make your button appear on the toolbar. You can use any text you like. However, it is recommended that you start the code with an underscore to make sure it doesn't clash with any future standard XEB buttons. This must be in upper case letters.
* URL is the full URL to the button image. You must enter the URL of the image on its own, rather than the Wikimedia page that describes the button, so use: [http://wiki.oni2.net/w/images/e/ec/Button_base.png "http://wiki.oni2.net/w/images/e/ec/Button_base.png"] rather than [http://wiki.oni2.net/File:Button_base.png "http://wiki.oni2.net/File:Button_base.png"] (incidentally, you can use that image as the base for a new button icon).
* Tooltip is the pop-up tooltip that will appear when the mouse moves over the button.
* Before is the text to insert before the current cursor location.
* After is the text to place after the current cursor location.
* Text is the text that is placed between before and after. If the user has selected text in the edit box when the button is pressed this selected text will be placed between before and after instead.
 
This example defines two extra buttons:
 
<pre>
myButtons={'_ZZ':['http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Button_headline2.png',
'Mark Test','Before','After','Middle'],'_ZA':'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/13/
Button_enter.png','Mark2 Test','111','333','222']};
</pre>
 
For more examples and usable buttons, see the [[wikipedia:User:Willscrlt/Voting buttons|!voting/discussion buttons]] made by [[wikipedia:User:Willscrlt|Willscrlt]] of Wikipedia.
 
==Special button instructions==
===Reference Buttons===
'''These buttons won't work because we don't have the Cite extension installed, so don't bother.''' -- [[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]]
 
The reference buttons come in two parts:
# Button 'R' (included by default) includes the basic reference tags.
# Button 'R1','R2' and 'R3' allow you to build up a reference in parts. R1 starts a reference. R2 lets you add the reference material and 'R3' finishes the reference. You are likely to want all these buttons or none of them.
 
===Smart Table===
Allows the user to set:
* Number of rows
* Number of columns
* If the table is sortable
* Whether or not a title row is required.
 
===Advanced Image===
Allows the user to set:
* Image Size
* Image location
* Image caption
* Image URL

This page is preserved for its history. It used to contain documentation for the extended editing toolbar script (XEB), but XEB was obsoleted by an update to the wiki software that removed the old toolbar.
