I was on the hunt for the perfect, out-of-the-box WordPress settings framework that I could use to easily incorporate a custom options page into plugin projects on the fly.
After no small amount of searching, I decided I should probably just roll up my sleeves and build my own.
This is a framework for creating an options page in your WordPress plugin, NOT for building your actual plugin. The plugin-sample.php file provides a quick demo on how to include the settings framework (along with your specific settings) into your plugin.
Right now you can create the following fields using this framework:
- checkboxes
- select drop-downs
- radio buttons
- textareas
- password inputs
- basic text inputs
...and more to come!
Simply follow the lead of the example settings arrays around line 140 of admin.php. (More explanatory documentation coming shortly!)
- Refactor plugin settings class.
- Expand localization.
- Add sample plugin uninstall file.
- Framework initial release.
In piecing together this framework, I leaned heavily on the good work of Francis Yaconiello and Alliso the Geek.
This framework was originally created by Mandi Wise. There's certainly room for improvement so drop me a line.
