Hacking the Wordpress Core

[Tony Thomas]

Hi guys,

I was trying to edit the Insert Media page in Wordpress in order to add a
button near to the search bar. I could do the same very easily using
firebug and editing the page source live easily. But when trying to
implement the same on the core files, I found out that there weren't any
file which contained the same set of html codes as the codes were generated
real time as the IRC told. If so, how is it possible to add my HTML element
to the core?

I would recommend using JavaScript to insert your element. You should avoid
editing core files whenever possible.

Roger is right, you should try not edit core directly. See if there are any actions or filters that you can hook into first, and if that isn't possible, use JavaScript.
