[wp-hackers] Add_Submenu_Page Q's

[Mike Walsh]

I tried using the suggestion below but I still can't get it to work.  If
anyone could take a look at my example, I'd really appreciate it.  I have
created a single file Menu Tester plugin and posted the source here:
http://www.onefishtwofish.net/menutester.txt - save the file as
menutester.php and drop it in your plugin directory.

I can get the Menu Tester pages to appear under the Manage, Presentation,
and Options tabs without any problems.  I can create a Top Level tab called
Menu Tester but can't create the sublevel tabs and the behavior of the Top
Level tab is also odd.  When the top level Menu Tester is selected, the
Options tab is highlighted and you see all of the option sublevel tabs but
the page content displays what I would expect from the top level Menu
Tester.

Thanks,

Mike

PS:  Is using PasteBin the norm with this group?

Yes, actually.

Instead of this:

> add_menu_page('Test Toplevel', 'Test Toplevel', 8, 'testtoplevel',  
> 'mt_toplevel_page');

Do this:

> add_menu_page('Test Toplevel', 'Test Toplevel', 8, __FILE__,  
> 'mt_toplevel_page');

Passing a string doesn't work for top-level menus.

Hey Mike,

The example is correct as far as I can see. Can you pastebin [1] the
code you're using so someone can take a look at it and see where you
might be going wrong?

John.
