 * Hey,
 * I am trying to add a dropbox box to my editor with some shortcoeds in to make
   it easier to insert into posts…
 * I found the following post that helped out however I need to somehow edit this
   to work using shortcode variables.
 * [http://www.paulund.co.uk/add-button-tinymce-shortcodes](http://www.paulund.co.uk/add-button-tinymce-shortcodes)
 * For example… I have a shortcode [notes title=”Title for Note”]Content for note
   here[/note]
 * But they are different for each shrotcode.
 * How would I make a dropdown with a list of shortcodes and when you click on one
   it inserts a snippet into the editor… for example… click [notes] from a dropdown
   list in the editor and it inserts [notes title=”Title for Note”]Content for note
   here[/note] so the user can edit the shortcode as they wish?
 * Thanks for any help
    Daniel
