In the plugins section of the admin screen, each plugin generally has a list of a few things you can do, usually "activate, edit, delete". How can I add an item to this list?
In your plugin file just add this code.
// Add settings link on plugin page
function your_plugin_settings_link($links) {
$settings_link = 'Settings';
array_unshift($links, $settings_link);
return $links;
}
$plugin = plugin_basename(__FILE__);
add_filter("plugin_action_links_$plugin", 'your_plugin_settings_link' );
EDIT: OK so i guess you are administrating the sites, and you want your users to report if something goes wrong with any plugin. Here are some of the options.
Use Jquery to add links.
Use the above function and add a loop around the add_filter, and then loop through `$all_plugins = get_plugins();
As you know there is an admin page for setting up hierarchy of terms by dragging it, which can be found on admin/structure/taxonomy/your_vocabulary. Underneath the table there are two buttons "Save" and "Reset to alphabetical". Now I need to interact with those sumbits by using some hook but I've no idea how to do it. I've already tried hook_taxonomy_term_presave() and hook_taxonomy_term_update(), but those are definitely not appropriate. Any ideas how to hook it?
You can do all your stuff by adding additional callback in submit.
e.g:
/**
* Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
*/
function hook_form_taxonomy_form_vocabulary_alter(&$form) {
$form['#submit'][] = 'my_function';
}
function my_function(&$form, &$form_state) {
// Do something ..
}
I have been working on a client's WordPress Website and last day my client want to hide navigation menu and pages from author/contributor categories.
I have searched and tried some of the plugin but didn't get the exact thing. Please let me know what should i use to hide some pages from user and from navigation.
Only Admin can see all the pages and other members should see only 1 section that is allowed to visible for them.
Thank You
use this plugin to manage All roll:

Here is the Complete function for removing each Menu and submenu from wp-admin for another user:
function remove_menus() {
global $menu, $submenu;
$restricted = array(__('Dashboard'), __('Profile'), __('Users'), __('Tools'), __('Comments'), __('Settings'), __('Plugins')); //Here you can also define the name like Pages
end($menu);
while (prev($menu)) {
$value = explode(' ', $menu[key($menu)][0]);
if (in_array($value[0] != NULL ? $value[0] : "", $restricted)) {
unset($menu[key($menu)]);
}
}
unset($menu[5]); // this is just for example
unset($submenu['edit.php'][16]); // this is just for example
}
Now You have to put a conditon for other user i.e:
$thisusername = $current_user->user_login; // this is to get the current user login
if (($thisusername == "user123")) {
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_menus');
}
Note: You can find many plugins but all of them are not in depth like this code.Well you can try this plugin to manage your user's roles.Capability Manager Plugin
i know about the way to show/hide menu items in admin based on user roles, but anyone can just type the address and access the specific menu. I was wondering if there is a way to restrict that as well.
For the moment i'm using this code:
add_action( 'admin_init', 'my_remove_menu_pages' );
function my_remove_menu_pages() {
// If the user does not have access to publish posts
if(!current_user_can('add_users')) {
// Remove the "Tools" menu
remove_menu_page('tools.php');
}
}
How about going the other way:

Can I hide the
Edit | View
tabs on top of each node ?
I've searched for this option in theme settings (both global and standard theme but I couldn't find it).
I still want to be able my customer to edit / administer content, so I cannot just remove the permission for it.
thanks
here is a very easy solution for you. (Drupal 7)
Open your page.tpl.php in your current template and search for the $tabs variable.
Remove the render code if you want to hide it completely.
If you want to display it only to administrators use this code
<?php if ($tabs and $is_admin): ?>
<div class="tabs">
<?php print render($tabs); ?>
</div>
The above code checks if the user is administrator. If it is it will render the tabs. If not it wont render them.
This really is a presentational thing, not a functionality thing, so it should be done at the theme level.
The problem with overriding theme_menu_local_tasks() is that you override/take a hatchet to the entire local task display, when you really just want to get in there with a scalpel to remove two specific local tasks. So, you need to get a little more specific.
theme_menu_local_tasks() gets the current page's local tasks and passes them to menu_local_tasks(). Here, two theme functions are used:
theme_menu_item_link(), which gets the link markup for the task
theme_menu_local_task(), which gets the <li> element for the task.
So, you can get rid of the View and Edit local tasks in a really robust way by overriding theme_menu_item_link() and theme_menu_local_task() to include your check for them:
function mytheme_menu_item_link($link) {
// Local tasks for view and edit nodes shouldn't be displayed.
if ($link['type'] & MENU_LOCAL_TASK && ($link['path'] === 'node/%/edit' || $link['path'] === 'node/%/view')) {
return '';
}
else {
if (empty($link['localized_options'])) {
$link['localized_options'] = array();
}
return l($link['title'], $link['href'], $link['localized_options']);
}
}
function mytheme_menu_local_task($link, $active = FALSE) {
// Don't return a <li> element if $link is empty
if ($link === '') {
return '';
}
else {
return '<li '. ($active ? 'class="active" ' : '') .'>'. $link ."</li>\n";
}
}
This way, you're relying on the menu router path, not modifying the menu router item, and achieving the result you want with minimal changes to core functionality or theming.
On the module side, you could do something that decouples the Edit's menu entry from the local tasks for the node:
function custom_menu_alter(&$items) {
$items['node/%node/edit']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK;
}
The edit path is still there, but now it is not associated with the View tab. This includes the edit page itself--no View tab there.
there is a module for that: tab tamer allows to hide or disable tabs and rename them as well.
I use the following in template.php by theme (which is perhaps a little hacky, I feel I should be considering unsetting $tabs instead):
function THEME_NAME_menu_local_tasks() {
return '';
}
Or you could ommit:
if ($tabs) echo $tabs;
from your page.tpl.php...
View and Edit are functional features. They have a reason for being there.
The best way to "remove" them, is to "remove" that functionality alltogether. After all: why remove the interface of a piece of functionality, but not the functionality itself?
Besides, simply not printing the tabs, does not remove the url endpoints. In other words: if you don't print the edit tab, people can still access the edit page.
Again: best is to remove that functionality: The fact that you don't want the edit tab, sounds as if you don't want the edit functionality for certain users.
If so, then just remove that permission for that role. That is all. The tabs will be gone.
If, however, you simply wish to display these tabs differently, Drupal is your friends. As you may have noticed, they are called local tasks and not tabs. That is because the theme decides how to render them: The theme is the thing that decides to show them as tabs.
Simply override the theme_menu_local_tasks() to create your own HTML for the "local-tasks". And in your page-tpl, simply move the $tabs variable around to a place, where you want them.
But again: Don't try to change the behavior of the app, by removing interface-elements. That is not the right thing to do: you should change the behavior, in order to change the behavior :)
For all the people stumbling upon this question while looking for a D7 solution: As stated on https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/77964/15055 it's hook_menu_local_tasks_alter()
/**
* Implements hook_menu_local_tasks_alter() to unset unwanted tabs
*/
function MYMODULE_menu_local_tasks_alter(&$data) {
foreach ($data['tabs'][0]['output'] as $key => $value) {
if ($value['#link']['path'] == 'node/%/view') {
unset($data['tabs'][0]['output'][$key]);
}
}
}
This is not the answer to the question of what the author asked. But somehow it might be useful for others user who facing the similar problem with me. Please let me know if this is not suitable to put in here.
I get the answer from #grayside and modified a bit to hide the view | edit tab from node based on the content type I want.
function MYMODULE_menu_alter(&$items) {
$items['node/%node/view']['access callback'] = 'MYMODULE_disable_node_view';
$items['node/%node/view']['access arguments'] = array(1);
}
function MYMODULE_disable_node_view($node){
if($node->type == 'product'){
return false;
}
}
product is the machine name of my content type, I don't want anywant to access it including root user.
The simplest solution to hide the tabs is to add this class in your theme css
.tabs{ display:none;}
Thanks for the last answer. But be aware of this detail: if you try it as-is it cannot work: literals should be just rounded with " or ', not both of them altogether. So it should be:
/**
* Implements hook_menu_local_tasks_alter() to unset unwanted tabs
*/
function MYMODULE_menu_local_tasks_alter(&$data) {
foreach ($data['tabs'][0]['output'] as $key => $value) {
if ($value['#link']['path'] == "node/%/view") {
unset($data['tabs'][0]['output'][$key]);
}
}
}
Once taken care of it, it works :)
D8 solution: If you want to hide all "local" tabs on certain pages, remember that "Tabs" is listed in the block library: find it in the "Content" region and exclude by content type, page URL or user role.
