Affiliates > Groups Menu

Hey @10bradders10,

Thank you for reaching out! The “Groups” menu item is registered using the same method used for all of our other pages.

The two differences are:

1. We’re registering it only when the Affiliates and Groups pages are in view.
2. We’ve prepended an icon to the menu item’s text.

I’m guessing that because point #1, you’re not seeing the menu item as selectable in SolidWP.

I’m afraid that, for the time being, we will not modifying the way this works, as we do not want to show the menu item all the time.

However, as a workaround, you can use this code snippet:

/**
 * Register the Affiliate Groups admin submenu page.
 * 
 * @param array $submenu_pages
 * 
 * @return array
 *
 */
function slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups( $submenu_pages ) {

    if ( empty( $_GET['page'] ) ) {
        return $submenu_pages;
    }

	if ( ! is_array( $submenu_pages ) ) {
		return $submenu_pages;
	}

	$submenu_pages['affiliate_groups'] = array(
		'class_name' => 'SliceWP_Submenu_Page_Affiliate_Groups',
		'data' 		 => array(
			'page_title' => __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'menu_title' => '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="15" height="15" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><path fill="currentColor" d="M10.72 16.78a.75.75 0 0 0 1.06 0l4-4a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.06l-4-4a.75.75 0 1 0-1.06 1.06l2.72 2.72H7A1.5 1.5 0 0 1 5.5 10V3.75a.75.75 0 0 0-1.5 0V10a3 3 0 0 0 3 3h6.44l-2.72 2.72a.75.75 0 0 0 0 1.06Z"></path></svg>' . __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'capability' => apply_filters( 'slicewp_submenu_page_capability_affiliate_groups', 'manage_options' ),
			'menu_slug'  => 'slicewp-affiliate-groups'
		)
	);

	return $submenu_pages;

}
remove_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );
add_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );

This will decouple our own page registration callback and couple a custom registration function that does not take into account point #1.

Please copy the code and add it to your website. If you’re not sure how to add code snippets to your site, you can use the Code Snippets plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/).

Thank you and best wishes,

Hey @10bradders10,

Please update the code I’ve previously sent with the one below:

/**
 * Register the Affiliate Groups admin submenu page.
 * 
 * @param array $submenu_pages
 * 
 * @return array
 *
 */
function slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups( $submenu_pages ) {

	if ( ! is_array( $submenu_pages ) ) {
		return $submenu_pages;
	}

	$submenu_pages['affiliate_groups'] = array(
		'class_name' => 'SliceWP_Submenu_Page_Affiliate_Groups',
		'data' 		 => array(
			'page_title' => __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'menu_title' => '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="15" height="15" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><path fill="currentColor" d="M10.72 16.78a.75.75 0 0 0 1.06 0l4-4a.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.06l-4-4a.75.75 0 1 0-1.06 1.06l2.72 2.72H7A1.5 1.5 0 0 1 5.5 10V3.75a.75.75 0 0 0-1.5 0V10a3 3 0 0 0 3 3h6.44l-2.72 2.72a.75.75 0 0 0 0 1.06Z"></path></svg>' . __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'capability' => apply_filters( 'slicewp_submenu_page_capability_affiliate_groups', 'manage_options' ),
			'menu_slug'  => 'slicewp-affiliate-groups'
		)
	);

	return $submenu_pages;

}
remove_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );
add_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );

I believe that with this code snippet, it should work.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

Hey @10bradders10,

Hmm… I’m not experiencing this. While I don’t have SolidWP Central, meaning that I cannot test how it works, the affiliate groups page loads normally for me with the code snippet inserted in the site.

Can you please share a screenshot with how you’ve added the snippet to your website?

Also, does the page now appear in SolidWP Central? If yes, does the error that you last shared appear after checking/unchecking the “Groups” page from SolidWP Central?

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

Hey @10bradders10,

I’ve just added the code snippet to the active theme’s functions.php file and everything is running normally for me. The “Groups” menu item is showing up all the time and the page is accessible.

The last code snippet I shared is the exact method we use to register all of our pages, which in turn uses the hooks that WordPress provides.

I’m not sure how you have everything set up, but I cannot replicate the error you’re facing.

I recommend you to double check that the code snippet has been copied entirely. Also, please add the snippet via a code snippet plugin, as an alternative to the functions.php file, just to check if something is changing.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

Hey @10bradders10,

As I mentioned before, this page is registered the same as all of our other pages and in line with WordPress’ standard of adding admin pages.

The only difference is that we’ve added an SVG icon in front of the “Groups” text, but this by itself, I believe, should not influence SolidWP Central’s page detection.

However, to test this out, you can replace the code I previously sent, with the one below:

/**
 * Register the Affiliate Groups admin submenu page.
 * 
 * @param array $submenu_pages
 * 
 * @return array
 *
 */
function slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups( $submenu_pages ) {

	if ( ! is_array( $submenu_pages ) ) {
		return $submenu_pages;
	}

	$submenu_pages['affiliate_groups'] = array(
		'class_name' => 'SliceWP_Submenu_Page_Affiliate_Groups',
		'data' 		 => array(
			'page_title' => __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'menu_title' => __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'capability' => apply_filters( 'slicewp_submenu_page_capability_affiliate_groups', 'manage_options' ),
			'menu_slug'  => 'slicewp-affiliate-groups'
		)
	);

	return $submenu_pages;

}
remove_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );
add_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );

This will register the page without the arrow icon.

I’ve just tested this with FluentSnippets and it’s working nicely.

Please check the screenshot for reference: https://ibb.co/kMpVF5T

Now, I can’t say why it’s not showing up in SolidWP Central. You may need to play with the priority of the snippet to have the code run earlier.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

Hey @10bradders10,

The Groups page is added by the Pro plugin. I can’t say how SolidWP is detecting the pages, but maybe this is why it isn’t showing up.

It is registered from another plugin technically, but it’s registered the same as all other pages from core.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

Hey @10bradders10,

That particular error can indeed appear if you have the Pro plugin inactive. As the page in question is loaded by pro, not core, pro is required to be active.

I have adapted the code to take this into account. Here’s the code snippet:

/**
 * Register the Affiliate Groups admin submenu page.
 * 
 * @param array $submenu_pages
 * 
 * @return array
 *
 */
function slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups( $submenu_pages ) {
	
	if ( ! class_exists( 'SliceWP_Submenu_Page_Affiliate_Groups' ) ) {
		return $submenu_pages;
	}

	if ( ! is_array( $submenu_pages ) ) {
		return $submenu_pages;
	}

	$submenu_pages['affiliate_groups'] = array(
		'class_name' => 'SliceWP_Submenu_Page_Affiliate_Groups',
		'data' 		 => array(
			'page_title' => __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'menu_title' => __( 'Groups', 'slicewp' ),
			'capability' => apply_filters( 'slicewp_submenu_page_capability_affiliate_groups', 'manage_options' ),
			'menu_slug'  => 'slicewp-affiliate-groups'
		)
	);

	return $submenu_pages;

}
remove_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );
add_filter( 'slicewp_register_submenu_page', 'slicewp_custom_register_submenu_page_affiliate_groups', 20 );

With this new iteration of the code, you should no longer see the error you’ve shared.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai
