Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes vs Simply Show Hooks

This plugin lets you swap the auto-complete / search style interface for a checkbox list, without changing any underlying data. It allows you to pick from a list of the existing tags, so that admin users do not need to remember each tag. It can optionally allow new terms to be added directly from the post editing UI, while still letting you keep this disabled by default. Features Replace the tags ui with a checkbox list No alteration to front end functionality, or the underlying data / terms Option to control the height of the taxonomy metabox, between default (200px max), full, and custom (px) Optional inline add control for new terms, enabled per taxonomy Optional link to the taxonomy edit screen via an “+ Add / Edit {taxonomy}” style link Optional per-taxonomy search box with Off, Always, and Min Terms modes Customization via filters Filters For detailed documentation and examples, see the full documentation on GitHub. runthings_ttc_selected_taxonomies This filter allows developers to modify the array of taxonomies selected for the custom checkbox interface. Parameters: $selected_taxonomies (array): An array of taxonomy slugs. Remove a slug value from the array to disable the checkbox list override. runthings_ttc_search_settings This filter allows developers to override per-taxonomy search UI behavior. Parameters: $search_settings (array): A map of taxonomy slugs to search config arrays (mode, threshold).

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.
