Admin menu and toolbar hacks

  • Hi all! I’ve spent the last few days googling trying to solve this but I haven’t been able to do so…

    1- In wp-admin, under posts on the left menu, I would like to add a submenu item that shows the posts filtered by a category. I have made the same for drafts, and tweaked the code to achieve this, but it isn’t working. Currently it displays all the posts.

    // Add menu item for categories
function add_cat_admin_menu_item() {
  // $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $callback_function
  add_posts_page(__('category1'), __('category1'), 'read', 'edit.php?post_type=post&post_category=34');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_cat_admin_menu_item');

    2- When logged in, I can see the admin toolbar on top if I am on a post. I would like to see it everywhere i.e. pages, index… But only if logged in, not for unregistered users/visitors.
    Everything I find on this is how to completely disable the toolbar…

    3- Once I have the toolbar visible, I would like to add a “button” or “section” that, if there are drafts, will display “Drafts X”, being X the count of drafts (just like when there are plugin updates). If there are no drafts, that “button” should not show up.
    I achieved this on the wp-admin menu with this snippet, but can’t figure out how to do it on the toolbar

    if(!class_exists('KWM_Pending_Posts_Indicator')) {

        class KWM_Pending_Posts_Indicator {

		function KWM_Pending_Posts_Indicator() { }

		function show_pending_number($menu) {
  $num_posts = wp_count_posts( 'post', 'readable' );
  $status = "draft";
  $pending_count = 0;
  if ( !empty($num_posts->$status) )
    $pending_count = $num_posts->$status;

  foreach ( $GLOBALS['menu'] as $menuKey => $menuitem ) {
    if( $menuitem[1] == 'edit_posts') {
      // Use 'plugins' classes for now. May add specific ones to this later.
      $menu[$menuKey][0] = sprintf( __('Posts %s'), "<span class='update-plugins count-$pending_count'><span class='plugin-count'>" . number_format_i18n($pending_count) . "</span></span>");
      break;
    }
  }

  return $menu;
}
	}
}

add_filter('add_menu_classes', array('KWM_Pending_Posts_Indicator', 'show_pending_number'), 8);

    Thanks for the help!!

    Hi again! I figured out the first point when I was in the shower!
    This is the code I was looking for:

    // Add menu item for categories
function add_cat_admin_menu_item() {
  // $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $callback_function
  add_posts_page(__('category1'), __('category1'), 'read', 'edit.php?post_status=all&post_type=post&action=-1&m=0&cat=45&seo_filter&filter_action=Filter&paged=1&mode=list&action2=-1');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_cat_admin_menu_item');

    Everything that comes after edit.php? is actually the URL that shows up when I filter the posts by category. Just change 45 with your category ID. I don’t know if every chunk is necessary or it comes from SEO plugins and stuff…

    Anyway, there is only points number 2 and 3 left. Please, any ideas?
