Not aware of post_type so "wp-has-current-submenu" get assigned incorrectly

[benjitastic]

Using: WP 3.0 RC3

I am creating a plugin and adding 2 submenu pages to appear under two custom content types ('Cars' and 'Trucks'). The issue is that Wordpress assigns the "wp-has-current-submenu' to the first "edit.php" admin sidebar nav item even when another is selected.

add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type=cars', "Details", "Details", $minlevel,  __FILE__, 'main_details');

add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type=trucks', "Details", "Details", $minlevel,  __FILE__, 'main_details');

So when I click "Details" under "Trucks" the post_type "Cars" menu item still receives the "wp-has-current-submenu" CSS class.

It looks like the menu needs to be aware of &post_type when assigning the current "wp-has-current-submenu" class instead of just placing it on the first edit.php?post_type.

In the attached screenshot the "Details" page under "Trucks" is active but the "wp-has-current-submenu" class is getting placed on "Cars".

I would imagine it is due to your use of the same value, FILE, in the $menu_slug parameter, which needs to be unique.

Thanks for the quick reply nacin.

The problem is that I am looping through all post_type and adding a menu item under each. It would be tricky to have a unique menu_slug for each since there is not a defined number of post_type and I would like every sub nav item to point to the main .php plugin file - 'FILE'.

foreach(get_post_types('','names') as $r) {
	if(!in_array($r, $excludedPostTypes)) {
		add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type='.$r.'', "Reorder", "Reorder", $minlevel,  __FILE__, 'reorder_ui');
	}
}	

Do you have any idea how I could accomplish this?

Thanks!

That's not what FILE is for. That's what your callback is for.

It would be easy to have a menu_slug that is unique, simply use the post_type and add a prefix or something.
