Post Type Objects and Menu Icons

[michael.ecklund]

When using get_post_type_object(); the core Post Types don't have a menu_icon available.

For example:

$page_object = get_post_type_object( 'page' );

echo $page_object->menu_icon;

When executing the above code, I would expect that to output the same icon used in the administration menu on the left. This goes for all core Post Types.

The menu_icon parameter was introduced in [14014].

Patch needs a refresh.

The menu_icon parameter has been added in parameters for default post types.

In 47196:

Posts, Post Types: Add default menu_icon values for built-in post types.

This allows the icons to be retrieved via get_post_type_object().
