[Plugin: WPMU Ldap Authentication] Patch for Admin Toolbar to use LDAP add user page

  • The default behavior in WordPress 3.4.1 with WPMU Ldap Version 4 leaves the admin toolbar (at the top of the page by default) with the Local Add User page linked in the New->User option. I wrote a patch for WPMU Ldap that hooks in and replaces the link to the Local Add User page with a link to the Ldap Add User page.

    Nice catch – will get this added in.

    I applied yalet’s patch manually, myself, and it worked great. I did change “tools.php?page=wpmu_ldap_adduser.functions.php” to “users.php?page=wpmu_ldap_adduser.functions.php” just for consistency, although both work.

    Is it possible to make a similar change to the “Add New” button on the All Users page?

    I am looking at users.php in WordPress core (lines 404 and 406 in WP 3.4.2), and the code that renders that button does not seem as easy to alter with a function.

    I gave this one some more thought, and I decided that adding an .htaccess redirect would be much better than hacking WordPress core.

    # Redirect to WPMU LDAP Authentication Add User page
RedirectPermanent /wp-admin/network/user-new.php /wp-admin/network/users.php?page=wpmu_ldap_adduser.functions.php
RedirectPermanent /wp-admin/user-new.php /wp-admin/users.php?page=wpmu_ldap_adduser.functions.php

    There is another way to get ride of this be changing the caps. I need to add this as an option into the plugin yet.

    It seems that we need to change more than the link. The code in user-new.php allows a user to add another user, so it would need to be disabled, not just the link removed in order to really have all the bases covered. I’m not sure where to begin with this, or else I’d start a patch.
