Add custom button's to custom post types text editor WordPress
- REFUNDED
Ok nothing posted answered my question on the last topic but have got a workable solution after messing around with various plugins
I have a separate issue now arising from this, I am using a theme which uses the following function to ad various custom buttons to the post editor
function media_buttons($editor_id = 'content') {
$post = get_post();
if ( ! $post && ! empty( $GLOBALS['post_ID'] ) )
$post = $GLOBALS['post_ID'];
wp_enqueue_media( array(
'post' => $post,
) );
$img = '<span class="wp-media-buttons-icon"></span> ';
echo '<a href="#" class="button insert-media add_media" data-editor="' . esc_attr( $editor_id ) . '" title="' . esc_attr__( 'Add Media' ) . '">' . $img . __( 'Add Media' ) . '</a>';
// Don't use this filter. Want to add a button? Use the media_buttons action.
$legacy_filter = apply_filters('media_buttons_context', ''); // deprecated
if ( $legacy_filter ) {
// #WP22559. Close <a> if a plugin started by closing <a> to open their own <a> tag.
if ( 0 === stripos( trim( $legacy_filter ), '</a>' ) )
$legacy_filter .= '</a>';
echo $legacy_filter;
}
}
add_action( 'media_buttons', 'media_buttons' );
I wish to modify this function so the buttons show on custom page types I setup along with regular posts and page in the backend for all user roles

Try the solution mentioned [[LINK href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/88397/5730"]]here[[/LINK]].
Navjot Singh comments:
Also add 'map_meta_cap' => true as an argument in your above custom post type function.

Hi Navjot, think that solution might work but a bit unsure how to implement it do you know where the fubction he has mentioned in the solution needs to go ie. what file?
Navjot Singh comments:
That function should go in your theme's function.php.
Navjot Singh comments:
For your modified question try this code instead of the one you listed
function media_buttons($editor_id = 'content') {
global $post;
if($post->post_type == 'YOURCUSTOMPOSTTYPE' || $post->post_type == 'post' || $post->post_type == 'page') {
wp_enqueue_media();
$img = '<span class="wp-media-buttons-icon"></span> ';
echo '<a href="#" class="button insert-media add_media" data-editor="' . esc_attr( $editor_id ) . '" title="' . esc_attr__( 'Add Media' ) . '">' . $img . __( 'Add Media' ) . '</a>';
// Don't use this filter. Want to add a button? Use the media_buttons action.
$legacy_filter = apply_filters('media_buttons_context', ''); // deprecated
if ( $legacy_filter ) {
// #WP22559. Close <a> if a plugin started by closing <a> to open their own <a> tag.
if ( 0 === stripos( trim( $legacy_filter ), '</a>' ) )
$legacy_filter .= '</a>';
echo $legacy_filter;
}
}
}
add_action( 'media_buttons', 'media_buttons' );

i do not think so , this is the only function used to show the buttons , can you share everything related to it?
