Simplify creation of options pages for plugins with custom menus

[sirzooro]

wp-admin/options.php file does a good job for handling options pages for plugins, which adds new item(s) to the Settings menu. Unfortunately this simple approach does not work when plugin registers its own menu and puts all options pages in it - in this case these pages goes through wp-admin/admin.php file, which does not handle options saving. It will be good to either handle this in admin.php too, or add a new function which will do this.

Yes, It does.

You simply need to direct the form action tag to options.php, Add a field for the page to redirect back to(optional), and add a field listing the options you wish to save (Along with a nonce i think).

See ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Options_Pages for the full rundown. Dont forget the register_setting() functionality along with the rest..

Pretty sure this is invalid, but leaving open pending reporter-feedback that this doesnt achieve their goals.

Thanks. I have checked my code and found that I messed parameter passed to the settings_fields() function. So I close this ticket as invalid.
