Admin Columns - Column Template

Welcome to the Admin Columns column template repository. Here you will find a starter-kit for creating a new column for Admin Columns. This start-kit will work as a normal WP plugin.

For more information about creating a new field type, please read the following article: https://www.admincolumns.com/documentation/how-to/register-column/

This template is written for Admin Columns 4.0. The documentation for 3.0 can be found here: https://github.com/codepress/ac-column-template/tree/v3.

This template uses PLACEHOLDERS such as custom_author throughout the file names and code. Use the following list of placeholders to do a 'find and replace':

• DESCRIPTION: Brief description of the field type, no longer than 2 lines
• EXTENDED_DESCRIPTION: Extended description of the field type
• AUTHOR_NAME: Name of field type author
• AUTHOR_URL: URL to author's website

step 2.

Edit the ac-custom_author.php file (now renamed using your column name) and change the column type if necessary.

step 3.

Edit the ac-column-custom_author.php file (now renamed using your column name) and include your custom code in the appropriate functions.
