How to get a slug name for a page without creating an admin page menu

2 Views

I now use the add_submenu_page() function, but I don’t want the edit page to appear in the admin menu.

I want to access the edit page from a list (another page) directly. But I need the slug as a hook_suffix.

I have in my-edit.php 

/* Set up the administration functionality. */
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_edit_setup' );

function my_edit_setup() {
...
/* Add Edit Actionlist page. */
$myplugin->my_edit = add_submenu_page( 'myplugin', esc_attr__( 'Edit', 'myplugin' ), esc_attr__( 'Edit', 'myplugin' ), 7, 'my-edit', 'my_edit' );
...

In admin.php I have: 

function my_admin_enqueue_style( $hook_suffix ) {

  $pages = array(
    'admin_page_projects',
        '...my-edit'
  );

  if ( in_array( $hook_suffix, $pages ) ) {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'myplugin-admin', trailingslashit( MYPLUGIN_URI ) . 'css/admin.css', false, '20110525', 'screen' );

You see I need the $hook_suffix, but I can’t find out how to get this, without creating the admin menu item.

  1. Example of how to create an invisible sub menu (it gets attached to the Dashboard, index.php) and the correspondent $hook_suffix.

    The page can be accessed through http://example.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=sample_page_hidden.

    add_action(  'admin_menu', 'admin_menu_so_11593510' );
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'admin_enqueue_scripts_so_11593510' );

function admin_menu_so_11593510() 
{
    add_submenu_page(
        null, // doesn't shows up in the menu, submenu is attached to "index.php"
        'Test', 
        'Test', 
        'edit_pages', 
        'sample_page_hidden', 
        'menu_options_so_11593510'
    );
}

function menu_options_so_11593510() { echo 'Hello!'; }

function admin_enqueue_scripts_so_11593510( $hook_suffix )
{
    if ( 'dashboard_page_sample_page_hidden' == $hook_suffix ) {
        wp_enqueue_script( 'swfobject' );
    }
}
