While working on a user badge system for the CG Cookie network, I came across the need to add a custom link to the action links, such as Edit and Delete, present for each user on the WordPress Users page. After a quick google search, I was able to find a simple filter than can be used for doing exactly this.
The user row action links I’m referring to are those shown in the screenshot below:
WordPress has a filter setup that we can use to add our own custom links, or even modify existing ones, and it’s called “user_row_actions”. You can see the source for the core function that sets up the action links here.
I wanted to add a “Edit Badges” link to the list of actions, and this was quite simply done with the following function:
1 2 3 4 5 | function cgc_ub_action_links($actions, $user_object) { $actions['edit_badges'] = "<a class='cgc_ub_edit_badges' href='" . admin_url( "users.php?page=cgc-badges&action=cgc_edit_badges&user=$user_object->ID") . "'>" . __( 'Edit Badges', 'cgc_ub' ) . "</a>"; return $actions; } add_filter('user_row_actions', 'cgc_ub_action_links', 10, 2); |
Really quite simple, and the result looks like this:
Note, similar functions also exist for posts and pages:
post_row_actions page_row_actions
Nice little tip there pippin, I have also found a way to create a user table by extending the class for WP_List_Table. In this you can also add in your own links.
The WP_List_Table is really great, but be careful with it, since it has not yet been finalized; it could change a lot.
Hi,
Do you have an example where you handle the ‘edit_badges’ action?
P
The edit_badges action would be handled from the function that you have setup to render your custom admin page (note the ?page= part). Inside of that function, you can do something like this (taken directly from the system I wrote):
Does that help?
good tip, but I’m wondering how to add those actions on a custom post type table… any idea?
