add parameters to the $callback function in wp_add_dashboard_widget

  • Is it possible to add parameters to the name of the callback function used in wp_add_dashboard_widget() function.

    I have wp_add_dashboard_widget($widgetName, $widgetTitle, ‘widgetContent’, ‘widgetSetup’);

    I need to pass some parameters to the widgetContent() function. How can this be done?

  • I’ve also been looking to see if there is a proper way of doing this.

    I came up with something bodgy that doesn’t scale well (beware typos, as I’m typing this from memory):

    class WidgetHandler{
  var $option;
  function WidgetHandler($option = array()){
    $this->option = (object)$option;
  }

  function extra_dashboard_widget_one(){
    real_dashboard_callback_function($this->option);
  }
}

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'my_dashboard_widgets'){
  $someoptions = (object)array('mysetting'=>'myval');
  $bodgyWidget = new WidgetHandler($someoptions);
  wp_add_dashboard_widget('extra_dashboard_widget_one', 'Widget One',  array(&$bodgyWidget, 'extra_dashboard_widget_one'));
}

function real_dashboard_callback_function($option){
  $foo = print_r($option,1);
  echo "<pre>$foo</pre>";
}
