JWRDC AME Styler

This plugin adds 2 features to (Admin Menu Editor)[https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor/].

1. By using AME to create section titles in the menu, you can create section that toggle open.
2. Do some basic styling of the menu items.

Status: usable

I make no promises and offer no warranty.

Instructions

0. Plan

You need to decide how you want the menu organized. Every section needs a header and a class. Keep it simple.

Example: I like to group my content together. It has a header called "Content" and a class prefix of "content".

1. Add headers and arrange menu items.

Use the Admin Menu Editor to create section headers. Set it to Target Page: none. Rearrange the menu items into the groups and order you want.

2. Add classes

Still in Admin Menu Editor, add classes to the headers and items.

The class for the headers is <the section's class>-menu-section-header. The class for the items is <the section's class>-menu-section-item.

Example: Based on my previous example, my header Content gets the class "content-menu-section-header". The menu items like Pages, Posts, etc. get the class "content-menu-section-item".

When x-menu-section-header is clicked, the visibility for x-menu-section-item is toggled.

3. Customization

The plugin has a basic options panel: 4 color options: header text , header background, active header text, and active header background.

Releasing updates

The plugin self-updates via Plugin Update Checker, which reads details.json from this repo's latest published GitHub Release. To ship an update: bump the Version: header in index.php, merge to master, then publish a GitHub Release tagged vX.Y.Z matching that version. The release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) builds the plugin zip and details.json and attaches them to the release automatically; installed sites pick it up on their next update check.

To Do

Let's be honest. I'll never touch this again.
