No admin_init-{$page_hook} action - why?

[jcnetsys]

Hi all,

Currently I have a function that is fired at admin_init on every admin page call. It then checks to see whether the page GET variable matches the one for my plugin and if it doesn't then returns. I don't understand why there isn't an admin_init-{$page_hook} action like there is for admin_head. It would make attaching page specific actions much easier.

Look forward to your response,

Daniel Chatfield

We already have the load-$pagenow and load-$pluginpage hooks, I don't see any advantage to adding a admin_init-$pagenow variant which in most cases, would be exactly the same.

Aren't load-* hooks $plugin_page-related ?

That's probably enough for the ticket author, but I'm just wondering if there are any circumstances where admin_init-* could be useful

Aren't load-* hooks $plugin_page-related ?

They're run for plugins and core pages alike, it should be called directly below that added call in 2 of hte 3 blocks (Importers don't seem to get it)

Ah, I didn't notice the last code block, thanks.

Thanks guys for clarifying that.
