Every panel you build is rendered, saved, and sanitized through the same engine a developer would otherwise wire up in code (`Sifency_Admin_Options_Framework`), so the same field-level sanitization, tabs/sections structure, and Customizer bridge apply automatically to anything you build visually. #### Option Builder screen * Create any number of panels, each with its own title. * Add sections (tabs) and drag fields into them from a type palette: text, textarea, rich text, number, select, button set, image select, color, link color, media, icon, date/time, link, plus label-only heading/subheading/notice rows. * Reorder sections and fields by drag-and-drop. * Per panel, choose where it appears: its own page under Settings, in the Customizer, or both. * Set each field’s ID, label, CSS class, default value, and description directly in the builder – no code editor required. #### For theme and plugin developers The panel-building engine behind the builder is also available directly in PHP, for cases the visual builder doesn’t cover: ``` Sifency_Admin_Options_Framework::createOptions( 'my_plugin_options', array( 'menu_title' => 'My Plugin', 'framework_title' => 'My Plugin Settings', ) ); Sifency_Admin_Options_Framework::createSection( 'my_plugin_options', array( 'id' => 'general', 'title' => 'General', 'fields' => array( array( 'id' => 'my_field', 'type' => 'text', 'title' => 'My Field' ), ), ) ); $value = Sifency_Admin_Options_Framework::getOption( 'my_plugin_options', 'my_field' ); ``` Highlights of the engine: * **20+ field types** – text, textarea, number, select, button_set, image_select, color, link_color, background, border, dimensions, spacing, typography, icon, media, wp_editor, datetime, link, backup, group (repeatable rows), plus layout- only heading, subheading, content, and notice fields. The visual builder currently exposes the most commonly used subset of these; composite types (background, border, spacing, dimensions, typography, group) remain available via the PHP API. * **Server-side sanitization** for every field type, applied automatically on save– not left to the implementer. * **Tabs and sub-panels** – `fieldset` and `tabbed` field types let a single section fan out into nested navigation without extra registration calls. * **Customizer bridge** – pass `'show_in_customizer' => true` on a panel (or choose“ Customizer” / “Both” in the visual builder) and its compatible fields appear in Appearance > Customize with live preview, alongside the dedicated settings page. * **Filterable rendering** – `apply_filters( 'sifency_fw_render_field_{type}', ...)` lets you override or add a field type without touching core files. * Zero external dependencies and zero external requests – see the FAQ below. ## Installation 1. Upload the `sifency-admin-option-builder` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install through the Plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress. 3. Go to Option Builder in the WP Admin menu to create your first panel. ## FAQ ### Do I need a specific theme for this to work? No. The Option Builder screen works with any theme, out of the box. ### Who can use the builder or edit built panels’ values? Users with the `manage_options` capability (administrators on a standard single- site install). ### Does this plugin track or send any data externally? No. This plugin does not collect, transmit, or share any data. All settings are stored locally in your site’s WordPress database. ### I’m a theme/plugin developer – can I add my own settings panel using this? Yes, via `Sifency_Admin_Options_Framework::createOptions()` / `createSection()` – see the Description tab above. This is entirely separate from panels created with the visual builder. ### Will my built panel also show up in the Customizer? Only if you choose “Customizer” or “Both” for that panel in the builder, and only for the subset of field types the Customizer bridge supports (listed in the Description tab). Everything else remains editable on the dedicated settings page. ### What happens to my panels if I deactivate or uninstall the plugin? Deactivating keeps your data. Uninstalling (deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen) removes every panel’s saved values and the builder layout itself, per `uninstall. php`. ### Does this plugin call home, phone out for updates, or bundle any third-party JS from a CDN? No. All assets are enqueued from the plugin’s own `assets/` folder, using WordPress’s bundled jQuery UI Sortable and Color Picker. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Sifency Admin Option Builder” is open source software.
