I'm trying to create a custom button for the kendo ui editor. The button works fine except when I try to use a custom template.
Here's the code for my custom button:

var currentDateAction = {
    name: 'currentDate',
    tooltip: vm.TemplateLetterCurrentDateLabel(),
    template: '<button class="k-button">' + vm.TemplateLetterCurrentDateLabel() + '</button>',
    exec: function () {
        var editor = $(this).data('kendoEditor');
        editor.exec('inserthtml', { value: vm.TemplateLetterCurrentDate() });
    }
};

If I comment the template line, the button works, otherwise it doesn't.
What do I have to do, to have a custom template for my button?

Hi,

When using a template you should attach a click handler to the button manually and use the handler function instead of exec. For example: 
$("#editor").kendoEditor({
    tools: [{
       name: 'currentDate',
       template: '<button class="k-button" onclick="buttonClick()">currentDate</button>',
       //....
     }]
});
 
function buttonClick(){
   //....
}
