Adding Menu’s in wp-admin/menu.php

  • Hey there,

    I’ve been trying to modify the code in menu.php to add a menu link to the top menu bar. However I can’t get it to show up.

    I know there are functions I can use to show it plugin-wise, but I am trying to hack the original code as I want to modify my wordpress slightly so that I can use it as a CMS.

    The code I am currently using is as following;

    $menu[46] = array(__(‘Uploads’), ‘upload_organizer’, ‘uploads.php’);

    and I added this in front of $menu[40]… (etc) as that’s where I want it to appear.. (I also tried using number 39 or using number 40 and increasing the following menu’s numbers)

    Like I said though, this won’t work..

    can anyone tell me how this works?

    Also, how can I modify which sub-menu gets high-lighted when a menu is clicked (ie. I wan’t “Write Page” to be highlighted rather than “Write Post”, when “Write is clicked)

    Thanks a lot in advance ??

    Bump, anyone? ??

    thats the only way to explain it.

    if you dont want to do that, then look at how its done inside the core files.

    there really isnt a better explanation.

    That article really doesn’t help much, it doesn’t even seem to cover 2.0 (Icould be wrong – but it covers plugins, not hard-coding) I am trying to do the same thing, and it seems it is a permissions issue?

    I found the permissions lists here:
    wp-admin/upgrade-schema.php
    and added my item there, to no avail. I think I’m close, but no solution yet….
