I’ve got to know it in Make WordPress UI. The plugin Dashboard uses a very interesting technique:
add_action( 'load-index.php', array( $this , 'override_dashboard' ) );
public function override_dashboard()
{
if( !isset( $_GET['page'] || 'custom-dash' != $_GET['page'] )
return;
if ( get_current_screen()->in_admin( 'site' ) ) {
require dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/dashboard-override.php';
exit;
}
}
And then it proceeds to fully rebuild the Dashboard with the file dashboard-override.php
, with a brand new clones of the Widgets, like rightnow.php
. I think it’s worth emulating.
