[Plugin: WP MVC] Custom admin menu / using one top level menu per plugin

Hi there,

I’m trying to generate the menu by myself since I want to use one top level menu per plugin instead of one per controller.

So I went through the add_menu_pages() function in wp-mvc\core\loaders\mvc_admin_loader.php and for what I understand I need to add an handling method to the dispatcher doing something like that:

$this->dispatcher->{$method} = create_function('', 'MvcDispatcher::dispatch(array("controller" => "'.$admin_controller_name.'", "action" => "index"));');

So my problem is how can I get the current instance of the loader class to access the dispatcher attribute?

Here is the function I’ve drafted so far:

function create_mvc_admin_menu($controllers)
{
    if (!is_array($controllers) || count($controllers) == 0)
      return;

    $menu_position = 20;
    $menu_position = apply_filters('mvc_menu_position', $menu_position);

    $main_controller = array_shift($controllers);
    $controller_titleized = MvcInflector::titleize($main_controller);
    $admin_controller_name = 'admin_'.$main_controller;
    $top_level_handle = 'mvc_'.$main_controller;

    $method = $admin_controller_name.'_index';

    // /!\ This will fail since there is no $this
    $this->dispatcher->{$method} = create_function('', 'MvcDispatcher::dispatch(array("controller" => "'.$admin_controller_name.'", "action" => "index"));');

    add_menu_page(
            $controller_titleized,
            $controller_titleized,
            'administrator',
            $top_level_handle,
            array($this->dispatcher, $method),
            null,
            $menu_position
    );
    foreach ($controllers as $controller)
    {
        $method = $controller.'_index';
        $page_handle = $top_level_handle.'-'.$controller;

        if (!method_exists($this->dispatcher, $method)) {
                $this->dispatcher->{$method} = create_function('', 'MvcDispatcher::dispatch(array("controller" => "'.$controller.'", "action" => "list"));');
        }

        add_submenu_page(
                $top_level_handle,
                $controller_titleized.' ? '.MvcInflector::titleize($controller),
                MvcInflector::titleize($controller),
                'administrator',
                $page_handle,
                array($this->dispatcher, $method)
        );
    }
}

Any suggestions? Thanks!
