Sub Menu of CPT

[mathetos]

Is it possible to define the Root menu item to be a custom post type menu? I tried this and it's not working as I expected:

$w4lmenu = 'edit.php?post_type=whats_4_lunch';
global $w4lmenu;
$this->setRootMenuPage( $w4lmenu );   // create a root page 
    $this->addSubMenuItem(
        array(
            'title' => 'W4L Settings',
            'page_slug' => 'w4l_settings'
            )
        );

Try this: $this->setRootMenuPageBySlug( $w4lmenu );

No luck. That removed the menu completely.

This seems like a bug if it doesn't support the WordPress parameters for creating sub-menus: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_submenu_page#Parameters

I also just tried commenting out the setRootMenuPage and adding it into the addSubMenuItem, like so:

//$this->setRootMenuPage( );   // create a root page 
        $this->addSubMenuItem(
            array(
                'parent_slug' => 'edit.php?post_type=whats_4_lunch',
                'title' => 'W4L Settings',
                'page_slug' => 'w4l_settings'
            )
        );

Are you sure you used the setRootMenuPageBySlug() method, not setRootMenuPage() since your last posted code is still using setRootMenuPage()?

[mathetos]

Yes, I tried "setRootMenuPageBySlug" and nothing happened, so I kept experimenting.

Of course... now it worked perfect. Perhaps there was a typo when I first tried it. Thanks! Resolved!

Ha, glad it helped! Please close the topic ;)

I wonder if it's hard to close a topic...
