    Hi all,

    I want to make my plugin extendable and this means adding actions or filters to arrays for my select field options, but I cannot seem to make it work.

    For example this is my array

    'options' => array(
'ea' => 'Each',
'hr' => 'Hourly',
'day' => 'Daily',
'wk' => 'Weekly',
'mth' => 'Month',
'yr' => 'Yearly',
),

    I tried adding do_action('unit_options) after the 'yr' but when I tried adding a function to add to it then it didnt echo and I am sure it is how I wrote the function

    function add_unit_options() {
$new_unit = "'qtr' => 'Quarterly'";
retuen $new_unit;
}
do_action( 'unit_options', 'add_unit_options' );

    I was also thinking about making repeatable fields in my settings page so people can build out the array themselves, any ideas?

    Hi,

    I think you can do like this in your plugin:

    $options = array(
    'ea' => 'Each',
    'hr' => 'Hourly',
    'day' => 'Daily',
    'wk' => 'Weekly',
    'mth' => 'Month',
    'yr' => 'Yearly',
);
$options = apply_filters( 'prefix_unit_options', $options );

    Then when registering meta boxes, just specify 'options' => $options.

    It might be a better idea to wrap the value of options to a function like:

    function prefix_get_unit_option() {
   $options = ...;
   return apply_filters( 'prefix_unit_options', $options );
}

    And use 'options' => prefix_get_unit_option().

    This way you can make a repeatable field in your settings page and get the values, passing them to the prefix_get_unit_option() to build the array of options.

    function prefix_get_unit_option() {
   $options = ...; // Default options
   
   $settings = get_option( 'option_name' );
   if ( ! empty( $settings['unit_options'] ) ) {
       foreach ( $settings['unit_options'] as $value => $label ) {
           $options[$value] = $label;
       } 
   }
   return apply_filters( 'prefix_unit_options', $options );
}

    All great

    function p52_contact_get_relationship_options( $options = array() ) { 
    $options = array(
        'prospect'  => 'Prospect',
        'lead'      => 'Lead',
        'client'    => 'Client',
        'agency'    => 'Agency',
        'assitant'  => 'Assistant',
        'supplier'  => 'Supplier'
    );
    $settings = get_option( 'p52crm_settings' );
    if ( ! empty( $settings['contact_relationship'] ) ) {
        foreach ( $settings['contact_relationship'] as $value => $label ) {
            $options[$value] = $label;
        } 
    }
    return apply_filters( 'p52_contact_relationship_options', $options );
}

    
            array(
                'name'  => 'Relationship',
                'id'    => $prefix . 'relationship',
                'type'  => 'select',
                'options' => p52_contact_get_relationship_options(),
                'placeholder' => 'Choose your relationship',
                'columns' => 6
            ),
