Creating button next to “add media” that allows you to choose a single post

I’m looking to create a button next to “add media” ( much like gravity forms “add form) that allows you to choose a custom post and then inserts that post id into a shortcode.

I’ve bene looking at hooking into tinymce for the longest time, but realized that that wasn’t the way to go (as those buttons aren’t a part of the tinymce editor).

  1. For WP versions before 3.5.0, use the media_buttons_context filter:

    add_filter( 'media_buttons_context', function($context ) {
    global $pagenow;

    if ( in_array( $pagenow, array( 'post.php', 'page.php', 'post-new.php', 'post-edit.php' ) ) ) {
        $context .= '<a href="#" class="button">Button</a>';
    }

    return $context;
} );

    For 3.5.0+, use the media_buttons action:

    add_action( 'media_buttons', function($editor_id){
    echo '<a href="#" class="button">Button</a>';
} );

    Both will add a button beside the “Add Media” button above the post editor.
