Description: Beef up your visual tinymce editor with a plethora of advanced options: Google Fonts, Emoticons, Tables, Styles, Advanced links, images, and drop-downs, too many features to list.
== Description ==
Are you a visual person? Do the four letters "HTML" scare the daylights out of you; but you still want to create beautiful blogs like the pros? Then this is the plugin for you!
Ultimate Visual Editor Button Upgrade will expand the default array of buttons in the visual tinymce editor, giving you the power to visually create your pages and posts. No need for mucking about in HTML and CSS.
Here are just a few features which make this plugin so powerful:
- 25 Google Fonts at your disposal.
- Add, create, and manipulate as many tables as you like.
- Add emoticons to express your mood as you are writing your posts/pages.
- Now you can use subscript and superscript text.
- Added advanced features for images (such as mouseover and mouseout).
- Added advanced features for ordered and unordered drop-down lists.
- Now features a search and replace tool.
- Easily add page anchors to posts that become too long to scroll through all the content.
- Added new feature to the "link" button now enabling you to open links in your own javascript popup windows, without writing a single line of code. You can even control the size and position of your popup window.
- And much more... too many features to list.
- This plugin is in very active development, and new versions will be released adding even more customization and functionality.

UPDATE: I have added 25... that's right, I said 25 Google Fonts into the editor. Just highlight your text, and select the Google font you would like to apply. You will instantly see your changes in both the editor and on your pages.
== Installation ==
1. Upload the plugin to your 'wp-content/plugins' directory, or download and install automatically through your admin panel.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. There is not an options menu; this is as simple as it gets. The buttons are added automatically. Just open any post or page in the visual editor to see your new buttons.
4. If you are updating; no problem. Just click the automatic update and everything will be done for you. Since there are no settings to be saved, nothing gets lost. After updating, the next time you open your editor you will immediately have the new functionality.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= I still don't see my buttons after activating the plugin =
You may have to click the button titled "enable kitchen sink" from your top row. This will expand the editor buttons.
== Screenshots ==
1. Shows the two button rows added to the visual editor.
2. Displays the custom emotions menu. Easily add emotions to your blog posts/pages.
3. The back-end font family drop-down list. This is where I have included 25 Google Fonts.
4. The visual edit style CSS box. Easily edit your CSS styles from a visual mode, without any need to know CSS or HTML.
5. The attributes box showing the many different possible events you may add.
6. Easily create gorgeous tables using only the visual editor.
7. The advanced link box. Here, you can have your links display as javascript popup windows; among other features.
== Features ==

* Includes a grand total of 48 emoticons... and counting. See them in both your admin panel AND your pages/posts.
* Adds a new row for adding tables and manipulating their properties individually. Add as many tables as you like, and change the properties of each, without affecting your other tables.
== Changelog ==
= 2.2 =
* Due to popular request, one gentleman in particular, I have decided to code some Google fonts into the editor. I have included 25 different google fonts. I am considering a paid version which will include hundreds of google fonts... (but I have to check into legality issues first).
* Added a preview button which will allow you to view your editor from the front end without having to wait for your page to load.
* Added new buttons for citations, abbreviations, acronyms, and insertions and deletions.
* Added a button to view HTML code. This is very useful because the default behavior of WordPress can wreak havoc on the code when switching between the visual and html editors. This button will allow you to view source code without it stripping out all the HTML tags.
* Changed plugin name from "Simple TinyMCE Button Upgrade" to "Ultimate Visual Editor Button Upgrade".
= 2.1 =
* Performed an overhaul on the features.
* Upgraded the table feature to include expanded functionality.
* Now includes support for:
- Advanced link control (you can now make links open in a popup window, and control the size of the window).
- Advanced lists (you can now choose your style of ordered and unordered lists).
- Advanced image control (Are you ready for this... you can now easily add mouseover and mouseout to your images).
- Added ability to search and replace text.
* Rearranged the icons to make the editor more user-friendly. Grouped like icons together.
* Enjoy!!
= 1.3 =
* Added two additional sets of emoticons (32 total). These took me some time, so it'll be a little while; but in my next update I plan to include animated emoticons.
= 1.2 =

= 1.1 =
