   Hi there, just wondering if anyone has a simple plug in or code snippet that can help me achieve this. Basically all I need to do, is wrap a block of text in a div, but this functionality needs to be integrated into the TinyMCE so that the client can easily do it themselves without writing code.

   So basically what I need to do is

   • Add a button to the tiny mce
   • Program the button to have the following functionality:

   Wraps selected text in the following:
   <div id="goToSidebar">selected text</div>

   I'd recommend a shortcode

   add_shortcode( 'goto', 'my_goto_function')
   
   function my_goto_function( $atts, $content ) {
       $out = '<div id="goToSidebar">' . $content . '</div>';
       return $out;
   }

   Then all your client would have to learn is;

   [goto]Selected Text[/goto]

   Hi Jackson, that's actually a pretty good solution! We've decided to do this via tags however now, so if a post has a specific tag, a specific sidebar element is shown. Thanks for the tip though this might come in handy for something else.
