Genesis Admin Bar Plus Plugin

This plugin adds resources links related to the Genesis Framework to the admin bar.

These resources include direct links to StudioPress support forums for each theme, quick access to Genesis Theme and SEO settings pages, quick access to Genesis-related plugin settings pages (for those that are active), and links to useful tutorial pages for how to get the most out of Genesis.

The plugin is built with theme and plugin developers in mind, as they can add support for their product with only a few lines of code, giving their users instant access to the right support board, a link to their website etc.

• Adds support for menu item positioning, so custom entries can be added anywhere, and not just as the final items.
• Easy addition of Support board links via single lines in theme functions.php.

This plugin is conceptual fork of the Genesis Admin Bar Addition plugin, re-written from scratch, adding new features.

Please report issues at https://github.com/GaryJones/Genesis-Admin-Bar-Plus/issues and not the WP Forums.

Add Custom Items

Here’s an example which removes the StudioPress menu (you only need to remove the parent item to remove all of the child items too), moves the Support menu item to the bottom of the submenu and adds some custom menu items in:

add_action( 'gabp_menu_items', 'child_gabp_menu_items', 10, 3 ); /** * Amend the menu items in the Genesis Admin Bar Plus plugin. * * @param Genesis_Admin_Bar_Plus_Menu $menu * @param string $prefix * @param string $genesis */ function child_gabp_menu_items( $menu, $prefix, $genesis ) { $garyjones = $prefix . 'gary-jones'; // Remove StudioPress item $menu->remove_item('studiopress'); // Add Gary Jones item $menu->add_item( 'gary-jones', array( 'parent' => $genesis, 'title' => 'Gary Jones', 'href' => 'http://garyjones.co.uk/', 'position' => 30 ) ); // Add Gary Jones submenu items $menu->add_item( 'code-gary-jones', array( 'parent' => $garyjones, 'title' => 'Code Gallery', 'href' => 'http://code.garyjones.co.uk/', 'position' => 10 ) ); $menu->add_item( 'garyj', array( 'parent' => $garyjones, 'title' => 'GaryJ', 'href' => 'http://twitter.com/GaryJ', 'position' => 20 ) ); // Amend position of Support menu item - child items will move correctly too // as of v1.1 $menu->edit_item( 'support', array( 'position' => 50 ) ); }<h3>Add Support Boards</h3> 

To a add a reference to a support board (perhaps for the child theme the active theme is based on, or a plugin the site uses, etc), you can add something like one of the following to the child theme functions.php file.
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-genesis’); // Adds direct link to Genesis support board
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-pretty-young-thing’); // Adds link to Pretty Young Thing child theme support board
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-prose’); // Adds link to Prose child theme support board
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-focus’); // Adds link to Focus child theme support board
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-translations’); // Adds direct link to Genesis Translations support board
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-plugins’); // Adds direct link to StudioPress Plugins support board
add_theme_support(‘gabp-support-genesisconnect’); // Adds direct link to GenesisConnect support board
For child themes, the bit after the gabp-support- string must be the theme name, lowercase, with spaces replaced with hyphens.

Can I add my own entries to the Genesis menus?

Yes – there is an action hook to do this. See the Add Custom Items section.

How do I add a link to a certain support board?

The plugin currently recognises all of the child theme support boards, Genesis, the translations board, the general plugins board and the GenesisConnect board.
See the Add Support Boards section for an example of how to add these to the Support menu.

You can also add a reference to another board via the gabp_support_boards filter.

What settings links are supported?

The following theme and plugins, when active, have a link to their settings page added to the Settings submenu:

• Design Settings (for Prose Theme)

• Genesis Simple Edits

A plugin author can add support for their own settings page link. See the Add Custom Items section.
