screen_options for plugins

[arena]

In order to allow plugins to integrate this new wp feature !

function screen_options($screen) {
	switch ( $screen ) {
		case 'edit':
			$per_page_label = __('Posts per page:');
			break;
		case 'edit-pages':
			$per_page_label = __('Pages per page:');
			break;
		case 'edit-comments':
			$per_page_label = __('Comments per page:');
			break;
		case 'upload':
			$per_page_label = __('Media items per page:');
			break;
		case 'categories':
			$per_page_label = __('Categories per page:');
			break;
		case 'edit-tags':
			$per_page_label = __('Tags per page:');
			break;
		case 'plugins':
			$per_page_label = __('Plugins per page:');
			break;
		default:
			return '';
	}

to be replaced by

function screen_options($screen) {

	$per_page_labels 			= array();
	$per_page_labels['edit'] 		= __('Posts per page:');
	$per_page_labels['edit-pages'] 		= __('Pages per page:');
	$per_page_labels['edit-comments'] 	= __('Comments per page:');
	$per_page_labels['upload'] 		= __('Media items per page:');
	$per_page_labels['categories'] 		= __('Categories per page:');
	$per_page_labels[edit-tags'] 		= __('Tags per page:');
	$per_page_labels['plugins'] 		= __('Plugins per page:');

	
	$per_page_labels = apply_filters('per_page_labels', $per_page_labels, $screen);

	if (!isset($per_page_labels[$screen])) return '';

	$per_page_label = $per_page_labels[$screen];

in the new code,

this line :

	$per_page_labels[edit-tags'] 		= __('Tags per page:');

should be

	$per_page_labels['edit-tags'] 		= __('Tags per page:');

No problems here. Good to go!

screen_options() is pretty worthless to plugins until it can allow them to add arbitrary options. Any patches should be in that direction.

Duplicate of: #9657

I like the Idea, it is a little different from the one that I had. #9657 provides a full modularization to even add your own screen_options tab(s).

I reopened this ticket because #9657 is not active anymore.

Here is a simple fix of what could be done.

See last patch posted : #9605.diff

simple and trivial !

this patch would break plugins that use that function.

please use #9657

Replying to Denis-de-Bernardy:

this patch would break plugins that use that function.

please use #9657

Sorry, i don't get it !

Using a filter will make no damage, if the filter is properly coded of course !

Being able to add some options in the option screen tab is (should be) complementary to add new tabs !!!

still a dup. I've added your patch to #9657, please keep this one closed. there are too many tickets.
