MultiPlug (discontinued)

Summary

This plugin is no longer under active development. It didn’t work out as planned. Wordpress has some unforeseen limitations.

MultiPlug is an umbrella plugin which creates and handles the adding of menus for several plugins. Currently the menus for various plugins found on this website are covered but others may hook into MultiPlug as well. MultiPlug aims to work with WordPress 2.7’s new Dashboard but will work on older versions also. This plugin is especially handy for when you use multiple plugins that have their own dashboard. Many new top level menu’s will make a mess of the dashboard. If you bring them all together under one menu, things remain fun!

Features

• Creates menus for plugins
• Keeps menu’s organised

Upgrade:

Nothing to upgrade yet, doofus!

Usage:

Using MultiPlug: Activate this plugin in order to use the Events, EasyBan and AdRotate plugin.

Hook your own plugin into MultiPlug:
As you add any submenu page on the dashboard. Instead attaching it to edit.php or post-new.php you attach it to ‘multiplug’.
For Events i use:

add_submenu_page('multiplug', 'Events > Add new', 'Add Event', $events_config['minlevel'], 'wp-events', 'events_schedule');

Since multiple plugins hook into this menu and some plugins have multiple pages (submenus) keep the names, links, short and clear. Like with Events. I used ‘Add Event’. AdRotate will use ‘Add Banner’ for new banners and so on.

Un-install:

1. De-avtivate the plugin
2. Remove the multiplug folder from your server
