<DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR>This is much easier said than done.
I have been working towards getting tabs in place on one
page (multiple calls to add_theme_page makes things look
quite ugly), but there are simply too many limitations
with the whole API to make this work effectively. Let me
try to explain.<BR><BR><B><U>The Scenario:</U></B><BR>My
theme has several options. Putting them all on one page
causes a lot of issues, like sluggishness of the back-end
and interference with PHP-Suhosin protection settings
(though Suhosin can be tweaked). I originally had a
2-level tab system, with horizontal tabs at the top for
different sections of settings, then vertical tabs within
each section (that is similar to the kind of settings that
the other folks are talking about). The tabs were all
handled by JQuery. This works fine with a small number of
options, but with a large number of options, the
sluggishness shows up in the back-end. That was when I
removed the horizontal tabs at the top level and used
add_menu_page and add_submenu_page.<BR><BR>But with the
recent enforcements of new rules and recommendations, I
have had to do some major rework. I first rewrote the
options framework to use the Settings API, but still with
add_menu_page and add_submenu_page. Now I am rewriting
again to get rid of the additional menu and roll it back
to how the look was earlier, but with a difference: the
entire set of options will not be loaded into browser
memory in JQuery tabs. Instead, I will try to fetch each
page as it is clicked, like the Theme Installation page in
WP.<BR><BR><B><U>My attempts:</U></B></P>
<OL type=1>
<LI class=MsoNormal>I first simply created one options
page, then included a set of links at the top.
<BR><B><U>Issue:</U></B> Getting the links to behave as
belonging within WP. E.g. If your admin panel is at <A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin" target=_blank></A><A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin"
target=_blank>http://host.com/wp-admin</A>, your theme
options page could be at <A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options"
target=_blank></A><A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options"
target=_blank>http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options</A>.
The tabs, however cannot be given links through the
admin panel. In other words, to get a URL such as <A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-sub-options-1"
target=_blank></A><A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-sub-options-1"
target=_blank>http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-sub-options-1</A>,
I HAVE to use add_theme_page. If I don't use
add_theme_page, the page isn't added to the whitelist
and will not show up. I cannot use other URLs, because
then I will have something like this: <A
href="http://host.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/my-sub-options-1.php"
target=_blank></A><A
href="http://host.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/my-sub-options-1.php"
target=_blank>http://host.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/my-sub-options-1.php</A>,
which is just not done.
<LI class=MsoNormal>To get around the above, I decided
to bundle AJAX with the options page. So I have one
options page accessible through <A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options"
target=_blank></A><A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options"
target=_blank>http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options</A>.
In there I have 5 links, each of which invokes AJAX to
load the specific options page, while staying in <A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options"
target=_blank></A><A
href="http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options"
target=_blank>http://host.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=my-options</A>.
This way I only need to whitelist the main
page.<BR><B><U>Issue:</U></B> Getting settings_fields()
to generate _wp_http_referer different from
admin-ajax.php. This is causing options.php to return
admin-ajax.php?updated=true, which is not what I want.
This is where I am stuck right now, but hopefully I will
get over the hurdle soon. </LI></OL>

looking forward to completing this exercise, so that other
developers can learn from my (rather harsh) experience
here.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Sayontan.</P>
