Admin Columns - Column Template

Welcome to the Admin Columns Pro column template repository. Here you will find a starter-kit for creating a new column for Admin Columns Pro. This starter-kit will work as a normal WP plugin.

For more information about creating a new column type, please read the following article: https://docs.admincolumns.com/article/21-how-to-create-my-own-column

This template is for Admin Columns Pro only.

Structure

• ac-column-template.php: Main plugin file that registers the column
• /classes/Column/Column.php: Column class with all column logic
• /classes/Column/Editing.php: Example of a Editing Model (used by inline- and bulk-editing)
• /classes/Column/Export.php: Example of a Export Model (used by exporting to generate a CSV)
• /classes/Column/Search.php: Example of a Smart Filtering Model (makes the column filterable)
• /classes/Column/Sorting.php: Example of a Sorting Model (makes the column sortable)
• /css: folder for .css files
• /js: folder for .js files
• /languages: folder for .pot, .po and .mo files
• readme.txt: WordPress readme file to be used by the WordPress repository

step 1.

This template uses two placeholders. Use the following list to do a 'find and replace' on them:

• COLUMN_NAME: Single-word, no spaces. Underscores allowed. eg. my-custom-column-name
• COLUMN_LABEL: Multiple words, can include spaces, visible when selecting a column

step 2.

Edit the ac-column-template.php file to change which list table the column belongs too.

step 3.

Edit the Column.php file and include your custom code in the appropriate functions.

step 4 (optional).

The structure of this plugin is prepared so that it can contain multiple columns. If you want to create multiple custom columns in this plugin, you can create a copy of the 'Column' folder and use a different folder name. Then make sure to require the copied files in the main plugin file.
