I am trying to create a basic Tour Date widget.
When the user clicks on the Tour Date Tab from the admin dashboard I want them to be presented with five fields.
- Date
- Venue
- City, State or Country
- Ticket Link
- Share Link
I’ve figured out how to add a custom tab after experimenting with ACF and CMB2 only to realize that the WordPress codex does indeed explain the basic process here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Administration_Menus
but not knowing that it was called an “administration menu” and searches for Dashboard Tab, Admin Tab, Admin Menu in Google yielded surprisingly confusing results. 😉 I am up to Step three and while I was successfully able to create these fields with ACF and linking that to a custom post type(see below) I don’t know how to have the same info appear in this new Administrative menu page(Tour) that I’ve made.
<?php
/** Step 2 (from text above). */
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_plugin_menu' );
/** Step 1. This builds the menu in the admin area */
function my_plugin_menu() {
add_menu_page( 'Tour Dates', 'Tour', 'manage_options', 'my-unique-identifier', 'my_plugin_options', 'dashicons-book', 6 );
}
/** Step 3. */
function my_plugin_options() {
if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
wp_die( __( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.' ) );
}
echo '<div class="wrap">';
echo '<p>Here is where the form would go if I actually had options.</p>';
echo '</div>';
}
?>
and the code I was able to link up to ACF in order to do this two levels down within the Post option:
// Register Custom Post Type
function custom_post_type() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Tour Dates', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Tour', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Post Type', 'text_domain' ),

);
$args = array(
'label' => __( 'Tour', 'text_domain' ),
'description' => __( 'Tour dates and upcoming shows', 'text_domain' ),
'labels' => $labels,
'supports' => array( 'revisions', 'custom-fields', ),

'hierarchical' => false,

register_post_type( 'tour', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type', 0 );
