WPFactory Admin Menu

A library that adds a WPFactory menu on WordPress dashboard.

Installation

Installation via Composer. Instructions to setup the composer.json.

1. Add these objects to the repositories array:

"repositories": [    
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/wpcodefactory/wpfactory-admin-menu"
    }
]

2. Require the library and its dependencies:

"require": {  
  "wpfactory/wpfactory-admin-menu": "*"
}

3. Use preferred-install parameter set as dist on config.

"config": {
  "preferred-install": "dist"
}

4. If you're loading it on the pro version of a plugin, you're probably loading it on the free version already, so to avoid that, add the replace node to your composer.json pro version.

"replace": {
  "wpfactory/wpfactory-admin-menu": "*"
}

Full Example:

{
  "repositories": [        
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/wpcodefactory/wpfactory-admin-menu"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "wpfactory/wpfactory-admin-menu": "*"
  },
  "config": {
    "preferred-install": "dist"
  }
}

How to use it?

1. Create/Put the composer.json on the root folder.

2. Then initialize the library with \WPFactory\WPFactory_Admin_Menu\WPFactory_Admin_Menu::get_instance() from within the main plugin class. Probably the best place is inside the hook plugins_loaded. If the main class is already being loaded with that hook, you can simply load the library in the class constructor. Try to remember to only run it inside a is_admin() check.

Note

Most probably, you won't even need to initialize it because it should have been initialized already by some other library.

Example:

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function(){  
    $main_plugin_class = new Main_Plugin_Class();  
} );

class Main_Plugin_Class(){
    function __construct() { 
        if ( is_admin() ) {
            require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'vendor/autoload.php';
            \WPFactory\WPFactory_Admin_Menu\WPFactory_Admin_Menu::get_instance();
        }
    }
}

Methods

move_wc_settings_tab_to_wpfactory_menu( array $args = null )

Adds WooCommerce Settings tab as a WPFactory submenu item.

Parameters:

• wc_settings_tab_id (string) - The WooCommerce tab id from the settings page. Ex: From a settings tab such as wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=alg_wc_cost_of_goods, the id would be alg_wc_cost_of_goods.
• menu_title (string) - The submenu item label displayed on WPFactory menu.
• page_title (string) - The title displayed above the new settings page. Default value: 'WPFactory plugins settings'.
• capability (string) - Capability string used on add_submenu_page(). Default value: 'class_exists( 'WooCommerce' ) ? 'manage_woocommerce' : 'manage_options'.
• position (int) - Position used on add_submenu_page(). Default value: 30.

Example:

if ( is_admin() ) {
    $wpf_admin_menu = \WPFactory\WPFactory_Admin_Menu\WPFactory_Admin_Menu::get_instance();
    if ( method_exists( $wpf_admin_menu, 'move_wc_settings_tab_to_wpfactory_menu' ) ) {
        $wpf_admin_menu->move_wc_settings_tab_to_wpfactory_menu( array(
            'wc_settings_tab_id' => 'alg_wc_cost_of_goods',
            'menu_title'         => 'Cost of Goods',
        ) );
    }
}

Note

It's a good idea to check if the method exists with method_exists( $wpf_admin_menu, 'move_wc_settings_tab_to_wpfactory_menu' ) to make sure it will be compatible with previous versions.
