It's unlikely that your plugin justifies making another large menu category. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-plugin-admin-page-into-the-admin-menu#post-8065 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 19:45:11 +0000 thierryyyyyyy 8065@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks a lot ganzua, but actually, it does not hurt a lot ...</p> <p>I confirmed that with "global $bb_menu", my fonction could work .... but then, the last array member for<br /> $bb_menu[20] = array(__('Options'), 'use_keys', 'my_options_page.php');<br /> should be a php file located in bb-admin/</p> <p>So then, you should ask guys that want to install your plugin to move your "option-page.php" in the bb-admin menu. Not very user-friendly. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-plugin-admin-page-into-the-admin-menu#post-8060 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:30:06 +0000 ganzua 8060@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>thierryyyyyyy, I visited your page and I still can feel pain after having watched those holes in your feet. :s </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-plugin-admin-page-into-the-admin-menu#post-8049 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:30:28 +0000 thierryyyyyyy 8049@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thank you fel64.<br /> it seems that I stupidly forgot the "global $bb_menu"</p> <p>thanks a lot ! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-plugin-admin-page-into-the-admin-menu#post-8045 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 22:20:48 +0000 fel64 8045@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>This worked for me:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;bb_admin_menu_generator&#39;, &#39;contestsmenue&#39;); function contestsmenue () { global $bb_submenu; $bb_submenu[&#39;content.php&#39;][] = array(__(&#39;Contests&#39;), &#39;moderate&#39;, &#39;contestinnerface&#39;); }</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-plugin-admin-page-into-the-admin-menu#post-8042 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 22:09:41 +0000 thierryyyyyyy 8042@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>in the admin-functions.php, there is the function which creates the main menu (and also submenu) : bb_admin_menu_generator()</p> <p>at the end of the function, you have a "hook" that you can use :<br /> do_action('bb_admin_menu_generator','');</p> <p>I tried this code :<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;bb_admin_menu_generator&#39;, &#39;bbai_add_options&#39;); function bbai_add_options(){ $bb_menu[20] = array(__(&#39;Options&#39;), &#39;use_keys&#39;, &#39;my_options_page.php&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>but didn't worked :( </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-plugin-admin-page-into-the-admin-menu#post-5434 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 19:52:39 +0000 chanzero 5434@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>any result here?

Unfortunally I only succeed in doing this into the submenu of the admin page. Is it possible to add a new plugin admin page link to the MAIN menu of the amdin area? (so not into the submenu)</p> <p>And how?</p> <p>I am currently working on a plugin that has many options and putting them all into the submenu would make it too crowdy/messy </p>
