Admin Menu Editor [ame-wp-admin] Shortcode

The ‘ame-wp-admin’ shortcode is a part of the admin-menu-editor plugin. It aids in generating the URL of the WordPress admin area. When implemented, it checks if the ‘self_admin_url’ function is callable. If true, it returns the URL of the admin area. If not, it returns the shortcode tag itself.

Shortcode: [ame-wp-admin]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – The below example demonstrates the basic usage of the ‘ame-wp-admin’ shortcode. It doesn’t require any parameters or attributes.

[ame-wp-admin /]

Advanced examples

In the given PHP code, the ‘ame-wp-admin’ shortcode doesn’t accept any parameters. It either returns the URL of the admin area or the shortcode itself depending on the availability of the ‘self_admin_url’ function. However, if we modify our function to accept parameters, we can create more advanced usage examples.

Suppose we modify our function to return a custom admin URL based on a ‘path’ parameter:

function handleAdminUrl($attributes = array(), $content = null, $tag = 'ame-wp-admin') {
	if ( is_callable('self_admin_url') ) {
		$path = isset($attributes['path']) ? $attributes['path'] : '';
		return self_admin_url($path);
	}
	return '[' . $tag . ']';
}

With this modification, we can now use the ‘ame-wp-admin’ shortcode to generate custom admin URLs. Here’s an example:

Using the shortcode to generate a custom admin URL. The generated URL will point to the specified path in the admin area.

[ame-wp-admin path="edit.php?post_type=page" /]
