As per your other question rather than trying to use older API to implement widgets it is better to use newer and current approach as per Widgets API in Codex. The difference is that newer code is more reliable and more functional (allows to easily have more complex features, such as multiple instances of the … Read more
I’d say (and that’s just my opinion), that prefixing global available stuff like: functions classes tables … should always share the same prefix. Aside from making your code more unique & therefore collision save, it helps when searching for plugin code, plus it serves as branding for your plugin too. Adding plugin_ to the table … Read more
Actually, that hook just lets you tie in to the beginning of executing that function, it doesn’t let you override anything. If you want to replace this function entirely, I recommend two different options: 1. Don’t use it Just define your own XMLRPC method (myNamespace.newMediaObject) and call that instead. 2. Replace it You can tie … Read more
TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH will be deprecated in the near future. It is not safe to rely on these constants. Use get_template_directory() and get_stylesheet_directory() instead. And wait until the init hook (or after_setup_theme before you use them to be sure all needed files are loaded. Example for a plugin: add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘wpse_50359_set_plugin_basics’ ); function wpse_50359_set_plugin_basics() { … Read more
Try the following code. What this would do is convert the category taxonomy checkboxes to radio buttons. In this way only one category can be selected. add_filter(‘wp_terms_checklist_args’, ‘wpse_64691_one_category_only’, ”, 2); function wpse_64691_one_category_only( $args, $post_id){ $args[‘walker’] = new WPSE_64691_Category_Radio; return $args; } class WPSE_64691_Category_Radio extends Walker { var $tree_type=”category”; var $db_fields = array (‘parent’ => ‘parent’, … Read more
I’ve answered a similar Question. AFAIK, you have to solve it with jQuery. var reference = $(‘#my-draft-posts’).parent().parent(); // add highlighting to our custom submenu reference.addClass(‘current’); //remove higlighting from the default menu reference.parent().find(‘li:first’).removeClass(‘current’); And the trick is to add an ID in your custom menus, so you can reference them. add_submenu_page( ‘edit.php’, ‘Drafts’, ‘<span id=”my-draft-posts”>Drafts</span>’, // … Read more
I think there’s a problem with your .png’s. Are they truly .png files, or possibly .jpg/.gif just renamed to .png? Try saving as a .gif or .jpg and re-upload. Sidenote: unless you need your users to have the screenshots in the plugin .zip, you can upload them to the SVN assets directory instead, and it … Read more
To get the save to work the postboxes.add_postbox_toggles( pagenow ); needs to be replaced with postboxes.add_postbox_toggles( ‘pluginname’ ); In my case postboxes.add_postbox_toggles( ‘church-admin’ ); I’ve blogged a how to using meta boxes on plugin admin pages
What you’re doing is, in my opinion, the best way to accomplish this. First off, the pages are a good way to go, because they give users the ability to customize parts of the page like title, meta fields, etc. You don’t have to use shortcodes per se, you can filter the_content for these pages, … Read more
Yes, you can and it’s easier using a Class. In the admin_init hook (where the Settings API is being registered and defined) set a class property based on the user ID: $this->prefix = ‘uid_’ . get_current_user_id() . ‘_’; Then, in the rest of the code, refer to your option name as $this->prefix . ‘option_name’.
