I am trying to make a simple plugin that sets a background image. I have it linked to the media library so that when you click "Insert into Post" it does a custom function. However, obviously this custom function is undesirable in any other context. As such I would like to make a separate button "Make Background" that would call the custom function. Any ideas?

Thanks

If you want it to show up in the image edit, say next to "insert into post" you will need to hook into 

attachment_fields_to_edit 
//for instance
add_filter( 'attachment_fields_to_edit', 'yourfunction', 1, 2 );

Have a look at media.php http://mobile.adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/attachment_fields_to_edit?version=3.1&file=wp-admin/includes/media.php

  • Ok cool, looks promising, so 'yourfunction' would just echo a html button? And how could I get that button to do something? With the "Insert into Post" I can just hook into it's default function to do my own thing.
