Learning to write plugins, first problem
-
I’m trying to give plugin-writing a try.
I’m following WP documentation and a few videotutorials on YouTube.I’ve learnet to use hooks. I’ve learned to create a settings page.
Now I’d want to be able to use one of the setting in my plugin.
This is the code for the setting page:
class MySettingsPage { /** * Holds the values to be used in the fields callbacks */ private $options; /** * Start up */ public function __construct() { add_action( 'admin_menu', array( $this, 'add_plugin_page' ) ); add_action( 'admin_init', array( $this, 'page_init' ) ); } /** * Add options page */ public function add_plugin_page() { // This page will be under "Settings" add_options_page( 'Settings Admin', 'My Settings', 'manage_options', 'my-setting-admin', array( $this, 'create_admin_page' ) ); } /** * Options page callback */ public function create_admin_page() { // Set class property $this->options = get_option( 'my_option_name' ); ?> <div class="wrap"> <h1>My Settings</h1> <form method="post" action="options.php"> <?php // This prints out all hidden setting fields settings_fields( 'my_option_group' ); do_settings_sections( 'my-setting-admin' ); submit_button(); ?> </form> </div> <?php } /** * Register and add settings */ public function page_init() { register_setting( 'my_option_group', // Option group 'my_option_name', // Option name array( $this, 'sanitize' ) // Sanitize ); add_settings_section( 'setting_section_id', // ID 'My Custom Settings', // Title array( $this, 'print_section_info' ), // Callback 'my-setting-admin' // Page ); /* add_settings_field( 'id_number', // ID 'ID Number', // Title array( $this, 'id_number_callback' ), // Callback 'my-setting-admin', // Page 'setting_section_id' // Section ); */ add_settings_field( 'title', 'Title', array( $this, 'title_callback' ), 'my-setting-admin', 'setting_section_id' ); } /** * Sanitize each setting field as needed * * @param array $input Contains all settings fields as array keys */ public function sanitize( $input ) { $new_input = array(); if( isset( $input['id_number'] ) ) $new_input['id_number'] = absint( $input['id_number'] ); if( isset( $input['title'] ) ) $new_input['title'] = sanitize_text_field( $input['title'] ); return $new_input; } /** * Print the Section text */ public function print_section_info() { print 'Enter your settings below:'; } /** * Get the settings option array and print one of its values */ public function id_number_callback() { printf( '<input type="text" id="id_number" name="my_option_name[id_number]" value="%s" />', isset( $this->options['id_number'] ) ? esc_attr( $this->options['id_number']) : '' ); } /** * Get the settings option array and print one of its values */ public function title_callback() { print_r($this); printf( '<input type="text" id="title" name="my_option_name[title]" value="%s" />', isset( $this->options['title'] ) ? esc_attr( $this->options['title']) : '' ); } public function title_print() { printf( '<input type="text" id="title" name="my_option_name[title]" value="%s" />', isset( $this->options['title'] ) ? esc_attr( $this->options['title']) : '' ); } } if( is_admin() ) $my_settings_page = new MySettingsPage();This is the code where I try to publish what’s entered in setting form into the footer of the website.
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'my_footer' ); function my_footer ( $content ) { $my_obj = new MySettingsPage(); echo $my_obj->title_callback();But I get a form field instead.
Also, a side request: for such a simple options, I think a new item in main admin menu is too much. How could I add the option below the plugin entry in the plugins page?
