The Settings API works just fine on any Admin page; it doesn’t care where it is, as long as you tie the settings form to the registered setting, and provide a valid callback function.
I put this in the form so it knows its editting: <form method=”post” action=”options.php”> <?php settings_fields(‘venues_section’); ?> <input type=”hidden” name=”editmode” value=”<?php echo $editmode; ?>” /> <input type=”hidden” name=”venue_id” value=”<?php echo $venue_id; ?>” /> <?php submit_button(); ?> </form> The receiving validation function can then handle that by doing something like this: function venues_validation_callback($input){ $venues = get_option(‘venues’); … Read more
You are Missing few Things. First of all hook the function wpt_theme_init with admin_init or similar one. otherwise your function will not execute. example below add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘wpt_theme_init’ ); add_settings_section and add_settings_field take 4th argument as a $page parameter. which is wptsettings in your case. remember? you have named your page wptsettings in add_theme_page ( … Read more
Letting user dynamically create fields using Settings API
You can pass defaults to get_option. The second parameter is a fallback. $default (mixed) (optional) The default value to return if no value is returned (ie. the option is not in the database). Default: false So, for example, instead of: $options = get_option(‘plugin_options’); You’d want: $options = get_option(‘plugin_options’,array(‘display_sidebar’ => true)); Or you can insert your … Read more
add_settings_field() accepts six arguments, the last one is an array of arguments: add_settings_field($id, $title, $callback, $page, $section, $args); You can add custom values here, so you can reuse one callback. A simple example: add_settings_field( ‘foo’, ‘Foo’, ‘wpse_settingsfield_callback’, ‘my_page’, ‘my_section’, array ( ‘context’ => ‘foo’ ) // custom arguments ); add_settings_field( ‘bar’, ‘Bar’, ‘wpse_settingsfield_callback’, ‘my_page’, ‘my_section’, … Read more
You can use the ‘upload_dir’ filter add_filter(‘upload_dir’, ‘set_upload_folder’, 999); function set_upload_folder( $upload_data ) { // absolute dir path, must be writable by wordpress $upload_data[‘basedir’] = trailingslashit(ABSPATH). ‘/files’; $upload_data[‘baseurl’] = ‘http://subdomain.wptest.com/files’; $subdir = $upload_data[‘subdir’]; $upload_data[‘path’] = $upload_data[‘basedir’] . $subdir; $upload_data[‘url’] = $upload_data[‘baseurl’] . $subdir; return wp_parse_args($upload_data, $upload_data); } This code will works no matter if year/month … Read more
I’m assuming $settings is an assigned variable elsewhere in your code? If so, then ya gotta globalise it son (variable scope in PHP): function outputFavIcon() { global $settings; ?> And spell it right too 😉 <?php if ( isset ( $settings[‘generel_settings’ /* <- typo? */][‘fav_icon’] ) ) {
Those variables and functions only exist in the admin area, and aren’t for frontend use. You will need to use a different mechanism for the frontend. Additionally: the docs say that you have to call this after the admin_init hook, calling on that hook will always return null the function is not loaded on all … Read more
These are the best two articles i’ve read(i’m sure there are others to) on creating multiple options using the Settings API, one covers usage inside a theme and the other inside a plugin, but essentially both actuall cover doing the same thing(registering a page and having some savable fields inside that page).
