Your Best Tutorial for adding a Tinymce button to Wordpress?

Dearest Programmers,

I am beneath you. I am now bowing before you on my knees. I am looking for the wisdom of the almighty programming guru.

I need a button. It is a simple button to show up on my editor in wordpress.

It just needs to pop in a shortcode when I press it.

I could use 2 of these actually, but will attack what should be the easier solution first.

I have a plugin I'm using, which allows me to use a shortcode. I don't want to have to remember how to format that shortcode every time I want to put it in a post.

So, can you tell me - the cut and paste girl - how/what/where is the easiest way for me to make this happen?

What kinds of files do I need to put and where?

I have been looking - trust me when I say I can google - but I am left feeling like this should be more simple to do then then explanations I find tell me.

I guess I need some kind of mini image to show as the button. I can fudge that if I have the dimensions of the graphic and the best extension. Need to know where that image should go as well.

Who will be my hero?

    the reason most tuts seem crazy is beacuse the api for registering buttons is very unorganised.

    you need a few different files, all doing different things, so its not quite as simple as a copy and paste.

    i can help you out if you like, then you can view the code to see how it works (this is how i find it easiest to learn)


    if you send me the plugin files and what the shortcode is i can do it for you (plus the image needed for the button 24px x 24px)

    pm me the details
