Welcome to Admin Page Framework GitHub Repository

Admin Page Framework is an OOP based open source WordPress library that facilitates theme and plugin development.

Installation

There are mainly two ways to include the framework.

• Use the framework loader plugin.

  • The latest development version can be found here.
  • The latest stable version can be downloaded here.

• Use the generated framework files which can be downloaded via Dashboard -> Admin Page Framework -> Tools -> Generator.

For more details, see the Getting Started (Dashboard -> Admin Page Framework -> Help -> Getting Started) of the admin pages of the loader plugin.

Examples

Create a Page

<?php
/* Plugin Name: Admin Page Framework - Getting Started */ 

include( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/library/apf/admin-page-framework.php' );
    
class APF extends AdminPageFramework {

    public function setUp() {
        
        $this->setRootMenuPage( 'Settings' );    // where to belong
        $this->addSubMenuItem(
            array(
                'title'        => 'My First Page',
                'page_slug'    => 'myfirstpage'
            )
        );
            
    }
    
    /**
     * @callback        action      do_{page slug}
     */
    public function do_myfirstpage() {
        ?>
        <h3>Say Something</h3>
        <p>This is my first admin page!</p>
        <?php   
    }
    
}
new APF;

Create a Form

<?php
/* Plugin Name: Admin Page Framework - My First Form */ 

include( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/library/apf/admin-page-framework.php' );
    
class APF_MyFirstFrom extends AdminPageFramework {

    public function setUp() {
        
        $this->setRootMenuPage( 'My Settings' );    // create a root page 
        $this->addSubMenuItem(
            array(
                'title'        => 'My First Form',
                'page_slug'    => 'my_first_form'
            )
        );
                    
    }
    
    /**
     * The pre-defined callback method that is triggered when the page loads.
     * @callback        action      load_{page slug}
     */     
    public function load_my_first_form( $oAdminPage ) {
    
        $this->addSettingSections(    
            array(
                'section_id'    => 'my_first_text_section',    
                'page_slug'     => 'my_first_form',    
            )
        );
        
        $this->addSettingFields(
            array(    
                'field_id'      => 'text',
                'section_id'    => 'my_first_text_section',
                'title'         => 'Text',
                'type'          => 'text',
                'default'       => 123456,
            ),
            array(    
                'field_id'      => 'submit',
                'type'          => 'submit',
            )
        );
        
    }
    
}
new APF_MyFirstFrom;
