    Hi Guys,

    The below procedural PHP code will add 5 text fields to Settings>General in the WP dashboard but how do I achieve the same with using OOP classes?

    function link_settings_api_init() {
	// Add the section to general settings so we can add our
	// fields to it
	add_settings_section(
	   'links_setting_section',
	   'Social Links',
	   'links_setting_section_callback_function',
	   'general'
   );

	// Add the field with the names and function to use for our new
	// settings, put it in our new section
	add_settings_field(
	   'facebook_link',
	   'Facebook Link',
	   'facebook_function',
	   'general',
	   'links_setting_section'
   );

   add_settings_field(
		'twitter_link',
		'Twitter Link',
		'twitter_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);

	add_settings_field(
		'linkedin_link',
		'Linkedn Link',
		'linkedin_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);

	add_settings_field(
		'instagram_link',
		'Instagram Link',
		'instagram_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);

	add_settings_field(
		'youtube_link',
		'YouTube Link',
		'youtube_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);
	// Register our setting so that $_POST handling is done for us and
	// our callback function just has to echo the <input>
	register_setting( 'general', 'facebook_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'twitter_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'linkedin_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'instagram_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'youtube_link' );

} // link_settings_api_init()

add_action( 'admin_init', 'link_settings_api_init' );

function links_setting_section_callback_function() {
	echo '<p>Add Social Media Links for HSPH</p>';
}

function facebook_function() {
$facebook_link = get_option( 'facebook_link', '' );
echo '<input id="facebook_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="Facebook Link" name="facebook_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($facebook_link) . '" />';
}

function twitter_function() {
$twitter_link = get_option( 'twitter_link', '' );
echo '<input id="twitter_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="Twitter Link" name="twitter_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($twitter_link) . '" />';
}

function linkedin_function() {
$linkedin_link = get_option( 'linkedin_link', '' );
echo '<input id="linkedin_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="LinkedIn Link" name="linkedin_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($linkedin_link) . '" />';
}

function instagram_function() {
$instagram_link = get_option( 'instagram_link', '' );
echo '<input id="instagram_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="Instagram Link" name="instagram_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($instagram_link) . '" />';
}

function youtube_function() {
$youtube_link = get_option( 'youtube_link', '' );
echo '<input id="youtube_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="YouTube Link" name="youtube_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($youtube_link) . '" />';
}

    How do I convert the above to work in PHP OOP

    class MY_Plugin_Social {

	

	public function init() {

add_action( 'admin_init', 'link_settings_api_init' );
// or should I use an array 	add_action( 'admin_init', array( $this, 'link_settings_api_init' ), 99 );
	}

public function link_settings_api_init() {
	// Add the section to general settings so we can add our
	// fields to it
	add_settings_section(
	   'links_setting_section',
	   'Social Links',
	   'links_setting_section_callback_function',
	   'general'
   );

	// Add the field with the names and function to use for our new
	// settings, put it in our new section
	add_settings_field(
	   'facebook_link',
	   'Facebook Link',
	   'facebook_function',
	   'general',
	   'links_setting_section'
   );

   add_settings_field(
		'twitter_link',
		'Twitter Link',
		'twitter_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);

	add_settings_field(
		'linkedin_link',
		'Linkedn Link',
		'linkedin_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);

	add_settings_field(
		'instagram_link',
		'Instagram Link',
		'instagram_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);

	add_settings_field(
		'youtube_link',
		'YouTube Link',
		'youtube_function',
		'general',
		'links_setting_section'
	);
	// Register our setting so that $_POST handling is done for us and
	// our callback function just has to echo the <input>
	register_setting( 'general', 'facebook_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'twitter_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'linkedin_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'instagram_link' );
	register_setting( 'general', 'youtube_link' );

} // link_settings_api_init()

public function links_setting_section_callback_function() {
	echo '<p>Add Social Media Links for HSPH</p>';
}

public function facebook_function() {
$facebook_link = get_option( 'facebook_link', '' );
echo '<input id="facebook_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="Facebook Link" name="facebook_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($facebook_link) . '" />';
}

public function twitter_function() {
$twitter_link = get_option( 'twitter_link', '' );
echo '<input id="twitter_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="Twitter Link" name="twitter_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($twitter_link) . '" />';
}

public function linkedin_function() {
$linkedin_link = get_option( 'linkedin_link', '' );
echo '<input id="linkedin_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="LinkedIn Link" name="linkedin_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($linkedin_link) . '" />';
}

public function instagram_function() {
$instagram_link = get_option( 'instagram_link', '' );
echo '<input id="instagram_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="Instagram Link" name="instagram_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($instagram_link) . '" />';
}

function youtube_function() {
$youtube_link = get_option( 'youtube_link', '' );
echo '<input id="youtube_link" style="width: 35%;" type="text" title="YouTube Link" name="youtube_link" value="' . sanitize_text_field($youtube_link) . '" />';
}

}

    I’m getting a callback error similar to Warning: call_user_func() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘links_setting_section_callback_function’ not found or invalid function name in /home/xyz/code/wwwhsph/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 1608

    When you’re using objects, you need to call the function of that object, not jsut the function name, or PHP won’t know what to do – as you’ve seen now.

    Wrong way:

    add_action( 'admin_init', 'link_settings_api_init' );

    The correct way to do it is:

    add_action( 'admin_init', array ($this, 'link_settings_api_init') );

    Thanks very much. I added add_action( 'admin_init', array ($this, 'link_settings_api_init') ); and that successfully allows the function link_settings_api_init() to execute. Now how do I get the other functions like links_setting_section_callback_function() and facebook_function()... to execute. Must I add more add_actions to public function unit() or add something to link_settings_api_init() because I’m getting errors like: Warning: call_user_func() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘links_setting_section_callback_function’ not found or invalid function name in /home/xyz/code/wwwhsph/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 1608

    …I seem to find lots of info on how to use procedural PHP to do this but OOP not so much.

    MUCH APPRECIATED.

    You can fix it in the same way as the add action is fixed by calling the function of the object:

    Do this: 

    	add_settings_section(
	   'links_setting_section',
	   'Social Links',
	   array($this, 'links_setting_section_callback_function'),
	   'general'

    Instead of this:

    
	add_settings_section(
	   'links_setting_section',
	   'Social Links',
	   'links_setting_section_callback_function',
	   'general'

    Outstanding. Thanks Mark. Exactly what I needed. I post the code that works for me.
