WooCommerce Admin Page Controller
Pages rendered with React and pages that include the WooCommmerce Admin header (containing the Activity Panel) need to be registered with the WooCommerce Admin Page Controller.
This is the API you will use to add your own React-powered page, or to include the WooCommerce Admin header on your plugin pages.
Connecting a PHP-powered Page
To show the WooCommerce Admin header on existing PHP-powered admin pages (most plugin pages), use the wc_admin_connect_page()
function.
Connecting pages uses five parameters to wc_admin_connect_page()
:
id
- Identifies the page with the controller. Required.parent
- Denotes the page as a child ofparent
. Used for breadcrumbs. Optional.screen_id
- Corresponds toPageController::get_current_screen_id()
to determine the current page. Required.title
- Page title. Used to build breadcrumbs. String or array of breadcrumb pieces. Required.path
- Page path (relative). Used for linking breadcrumb pieces when this page is aparent
. Optional.
Examples
// WooCommerce > Settings > General (default tab).
wc_admin_connect_page(
array(
'id' => 'woocommerce-settings',
'screen_id' => 'woocommerce_page_wc-settings-general',
'title' => array(
__( 'Settings', 'woocommerce-admin' ),
__( 'General', 'woocommerce-admin' ),
),
'path' => add_query_arg( 'page', 'wc-settings', 'admin.php' ),
)
);
The WooCommerce > Settings > General
example shows how to set up multiple breadcrumb pieces for a page. When building the breadcrumbs, WooCommerce will attach a link to path
to the first piece in the title
array. All subsequent pieces are plain text (not linked).
// WooCommerce > Settings > Payments.
wc_admin_connect_page(
array(
'id' => 'woocommerce-settings-payments',
'parent' => 'woocommerce-settings',
'screen_id' => 'woocommerce_page_wc-settings-checkout',
'title' => __( 'Payments', 'woocommerce-admin' ),
'path' => add_query_arg(
array(
'page' => 'wc-settings',
'tab' => 'checkout',
),
'admin.php'
),
)
);
// WooCommerce > Orders.
wc_admin_connect_page(
array(
'id' => 'woocommerce-orders',
'screen_id' => 'edit-shop_order',
'title' => __( 'Orders', 'woocommerce-admin' ),
'path' => add_query_arg( 'post_type', 'shop_order', 'edit.php' ),
)
);
Determining Screen ID
WooCommerce Admin implements it's own version of get_current_screen()
to allow for more precise identification of admin pages.
Some screen ID formats that the function will generate are:
-
{$current_screen->action}-{$current_screen->action}-tab-section
-
{$current_screen->action}-{$current_screen->action}-tab
-
{$current_screen->action}-{$current_screen->action}
if no tab is present
-
{$current_screen->action}
if no action or tab is present
WooCommerce Admin can recognize WooCommerce pages that have both tabs and sub sections. For example, woocommerce_page_wc-settings-products-inventory
is the WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory
page.
If your plugin adds new pages with tabs and sub sections, use the wc_admin_pages_with_tabs
and wc_admin_page_tab_sections
filters to have WooCommerce Admin generate accurate screen IDs for them.
You can also use the wc_admin_current_screen_id
filter to make any changes necessary to the behavior.
Registering a React-powered Page
Registering a React-powered page is similar to connecting a PHP page, but with some key differences. Registering pages will automatically create WordPress menu items for them, with the appropriate hierarchy based on parent
.
Register pages with wc_admin_register_page()
using these parameters:
id
- Identifies the page with the controller. Required.parent
- Denotes the page as a child ofparent
. Used for breadcrumbs. Optional.title
- Page title. Used to build breadcrumbs. String or array of breadcrumb pieces. Required.path
- Page path (relative to#wc-admin
). Used for identifying this page and for linking breadcrumb pieces when this page is aparent
. Required.capability
- User capability needed to access this page. Optional (defaults tomanage_options
).icon
- Dashicons helper class or base64-encoded SVG. Optional.position
- Menu item position for parent pages. Optional. See:add_menu_page()
.
Example - Adding a New Analytics Report
Add our new report using the appropriate filter:
import { addFilter } from '@wordpress/hooks';
addFilter( 'woocommerce_admin_reports_list', 'my-namespace', ( reports ) => {
reports.push( {
report: 'example',
title: __( 'Example', 'my-textdomain' ),
component: ExampleReportComponent,
} );
return reports;
} );
Register the report page with the controller:
function add_report_menu_item( $report_pages ) {
$report_pages[] = array(
'id' => 'example-analytics-report',
'title' => __( 'Example', 'my-textdomain' ),
'parent' => 'woocommerce-analytics',
'path' => '/analytics/example',
);
return $report_pages;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_admin_report_menu_items', 'add_report_menu_item' );
