Add Custom Button to TinyMCE in Joomla 2.5

Question

I am currently creating a component for Joomla 2.5.

I would like to add a custom button to the TinyMCE editor, but being in the context of a Joomla component, I can not add files or code inside the TinyMCE editor plugin...

Is someone able to tell me what I am suppose to use to do so?

Thank you

Editor buttons are built as editors-xtd plugins. You may look at the readmore button, which is only added in article context.

That's definitely the preferred approach, that way the button is available in all editors not just TinyMCE. You don't know what editor (if any) that your users may be using.

I looked at the file editors-xtd/article/article.php , and indeed this seems to be the right way to solve my problem. But this Class return a $button object, so what I am suppose to do with it in order to add it to my editor ?

Nothing but making an editors-xtd plugin and activate it. Joomla does the rest.
