Why creating a plugin to display plugins icons?
- Icons can help you understand what a plugin is about.
- Icons help you identify plugins quickier
- Icons make that plugins list page (wp-admin/plugins.php) something less boring, right?
- Almost every WordPress plugin on wp.org already has its own Icon / Banner. Why not to use it inside WordPress dashboard?
How does it work?
- This plugin will create a new column on plugins list page on admin. This column will display icons for plugins.
Where do the icons come from?
- They come from wordpress.org. The icons and banners authors choose for their plugins on wordpress.org will be used by this plugin. If a plugin doesn’t have an icon, its banner will be used instead
How to register icons for plugins that aren’t on the WordPress repository?
You can use the filter ‘ifp_plugin_icon_url’. See its documentation below
Are there any hooks / filters available?
ifp_plugin_icon_url – Allows to add icons for any plugins
add_filter( 'ifp_plugin_icon_url', function( $icon_url, $plugin_title, $plugin_infs ){
if( $plugin_title == 'Your Plugin Name' ){
$icon_url = 'http://your-image.jpg';
}
return $icon_url;
}, 10, 3 );
Can I change icon size among other settings?
- Yes, On Settings > Plugins icons, you can even play with some settings, like icon’s size and the column position they will be displayed.
