submenu item for Custom Post Type

    I’m creating an events custom post type and want to add an extra submenu item in the admin panel for the Events type (a Settings page).

    i.e.
    Events

    • Events
    • Add New
    • Settings

    Actually, I have already created the menu item, but for the life of me I can’t get it to do anything other than redirect to the admin homepage of the main site.

    I should point out that I’ve got WP in multisite mode, and I’m trying to get this to work on a sub-site.

    So using add_submenu_page I have this line:
    add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type=event', 'settings', 'Settings', 'manage_options', 'event_settings', array(&$this,'show_menu'));

    Which is similar to the code found at http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Administration_Menus

    As I say, it puts the menu item in the right place and this is the URL it links to: http://localhost/wp3/subsite/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=event&page=event_settings

    But when I click on the link it takes me to:
    http://localhost/wp3/wp-admin/?c=1

    i.e. the main site admin page.

    I feel like I’m missing something obvious, but I’ve been around in so many circles now, I need a little help.

    cheers

    I feel like a complete dork – or perhaps the double espresso helped. The problem wasn’t with my add_submenu_page command, but with the add_action:

    i.e. I had:

    add_action("admin_init",array(&$this,'admin_menu'));

    instead of :

    add_action("admin_menu",array(&$this,'admin_menu'));

    Makes all the difference you know.
