This is an example of how to add a sidebar inside the editor.
In this case it will display a sidebar with one tab, one panel and two settings inside it: buttons and checkbox.
The sidebar will appear in every:
- post
- my_cpt
These two settings are of 'data_type' => meta so their value will be saved to the post meta data.
Inside a php file in your plugin or the functions.php file of your theme call the filter in the following way:
add_filter( 'pmc_create_sidebar', 'myplugin_create_sidebar' );
function myplugin_create_sidebar( $sidebars ) {
// Define the sidebar with its tabs, panels and settings.
$sidebar = array(
'id' => 'mysidebar',
'id_prefix' => 'myidprefix_',
'label' => __( 'Sidebar label', 'my_plugin' ),
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'my_cpt' ),
'data_key_prefix' => 'mydataprefix_',
'icon_dashicon' => 'carrot',
'tabs' => array(
array(
'label' => __( 'Tab label', 'my_plugin' ),
'panels' => array(
array(
'label' => __( 'Panel label', 'my_plugin' ),
'settings' => array(
// Buttons setting.
array(
'type' => 'buttons',
'data_type' => 'meta',
'data_key' => 'buttons_key',
'label' => __( 'Setting label', 'my_plugin' ),
'help' => __( 'Setting description', 'my_plugin' ),
'default_value' => 'bbb',
'options' => array(
array(
'title' => __( 'Option title aaa', 'my_plugin' ),
'value' => 'aaa',
'icon_dashicon' => 'carrot',
),
array(
'title' => __( 'Option title bbb', 'my_plugin' ),
'value' => 'bbb',
'icon_dashicon' => 'sos',
),
),
),
// Checkbox setting.
array(
'type' => 'checkbox',
'data_type' => 'meta',
'data_key' => 'checkbox_key',
'label' => __( 'Setting label', 'my_plugin' ),
'help' => __( 'Setting description', 'my_plugin' ),
'default_value' => false,
'use_toggle' => true,
'input_label' => __( 'Input label', 'my_plugin' ),
),
),
),
),
),
),
);
// Push the $sidebar we just assigned to the variable
// to the array of $sidebars that comes in the function argument.
$sidebars[] = $sidebar;
// Return the $sidebars array with our sidebar now included.
return $sidebars;
