Dashboard quick links widget vs Simply Show Hooks

A lightweight plugin to allows admins to create an admin dashboard widget with frequently accessed links for quick access. I originally developed this plugin after spending hours creating client/user documentation for every WordPress project. Instead of writing step-by-step navigation documentation, I used this plugin to organise all necessary links on the single widget for non-technical users. As a developer, I also use this script myself to organise frequently accessed links for quick access. Links format Each link should be entered in a separate line in the following format (the fourth parameter, i.e. font awesome icon class is optional) Link text|Button link|Button text|font-awesome icon class Examples Post blog|/wp-admin/post-new.php|Post blog Post blog|/wp-admin/post-new.php|Post blog|fa fa-cog Post blog|/wp-admin/post-new.php newtab|Post blog|fa fa-cog` If you have any feedback or queries please contact me at hemthapa.com

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.
