Admin Panels

Display an admin settings page with a corresponding entry in the admin menu. Admin pages can have tabs for better organization.

How to Create

Can be created from TitanFramework Instance:

$titan = TitanFramework::getInstance( 'my-theme' );
$adminPanel = $titan->createAdminPanel( array(
'name' => 'My Admin Panel',
) );
// Create options in My Admin Panel
$adminPanel->createOption( ... );

[zilla_alert]This will create an admin menu item named ‘My Admin Panel’ on the bottom of the admin menu.[/zilla_alert]

Can be created from an Admin Panel Object:

$titan = TitanFramework::getInstance( 'my-theme' );
$adminPanel = $titan->createAdminPanel( array(
'name' => 'My Admin Panel',
) );
$layoutPanel = $adminPanel->createAdminPanel( array(
'name' => 'My Layout Panel',
) );
// Create options in My Layout Panel
$layoutOptions->createOption( ... );

[zilla_alert]This will create a submenu item below the ‘My Admin Panel’ named ‘My Layout Panel’.[/zilla_alert]
