right_now_content_table_end function not working?

1 Views

I noticed recently my custom counts for custom post types are not showing on the dashboard. Im using this function:

right_now_content_table_end

It worked well before, Im not sure when it stopped working but I think after updating to 3.8?

Or is there a new function I should use with the new dashboard that is in 3.8?

Thanks in advance.

  1. The new action is dashboard_glance_items. It is a filter providing an array to which you can add items.

    Example from my plugin T5 Taxonomy Location

    add_filter(
    'dashboard_glance_items',
    array ( $this, 'add_to_glance' )
);


/**
 * Add locations to the new "At a glance" dashboard widget.
 *
 * @param  array $items
 * @return array
 */
public function add_to_glance( Array $items )
{
    $num  = wp_count_terms( $this->taxonomy );
    // Singular or Plural.
    $text = _n(
        '%s Location',
        '%s Locations',
        $num,
        'plugin_t5_tax_location'
    );
    // thousands separator etc.
    $text = sprintf( $text, number_format_i18n( $num ) );

    if ( current_user_can( "manage_$this->taxonomy" ) )
    {
        $url  = admin_url( "edit-tags.php?taxonomy=$this->taxonomy" );
        $text = "<a href='$url'>$text</a>";
    }

    $items[] = $text;

    return $items;
}

    This change is not backwards compatible and rather … dirty. See ticket #26571 for problems and possible solutions.

  3. Please check out this function. I believe it’s temporary solution, but it works for me. More info can be found here: Add Custom Post Types and Taxonomies to At a Glance dashboard widget

    add_action( 'dashboard_glance_items', 'cor_right_now_content_table_end' );
function cor_right_now_content_table_end() {
$args = array(
    'public' => true,
    '_builtin' => false
);
$output = 'object';
$operator = 'and';

$post_types = get_post_types( $args, $output, $operator );
foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) {
    $num_posts = wp_count_posts( $post_type->name );
    $num = number_format_i18n( $num_posts->publish );
    $text = _n( $post_type->labels->singular_name, $post_type->labels->name, intval( $num_posts->publish ) );
    if ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
        $output = '<a href="edit.php?post_type=' . $post_type->name . '">' . $num . '&nbsp;' . $text . '</a>';
    }
    echo '<li class="post-count ' . $post_type->name . '-count">' . $output . '</li>';
}
$taxonomies = get_taxonomies( $args, $output, $operator );
foreach ( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
    $num_terms = wp_count_terms( $taxonomy->name );
    $num = number_format_i18n( $num_terms );
    $text = _n( $taxonomy->labels->singular_name, $taxonomy->labels->name, intval( $num_terms ) );
    if ( current_user_can( 'manage_categories' ) ) {
        $output = '<a href="edit-tags.php?taxonomy=' . $taxonomy->name . '">' . $num . '&nbsp;' . $text . '</a>';
    }
    echo '<li class="taxonomy-count ' . $taxonomy->name . '-count">' . $output . '</li>';
}
}

// Add Some CSS to "At a Glance" Widget
function custom_colors() {
echo '<style type="text/css">
    .slides-count a:before {content:"f233"!important}
    .gallery-count a:before {content:"f163"!important}
    </style>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_colors');
