Visibility per role for your own items

Addofy lets an administrator choose per role which menus, meta boxes, columns and notices are visible. You can add a type of your own, so the items of your plugin show up in the same Visibility tab.

Add a type and a collector

Add a type with the adba_visibility_types filter and record its items with a collector through the adba_visibility_collectors filter. The Visibility tab, the export and the import then handle your type.

A collector implements Visibility\Collectors\CollectorInterface; extend AbstractCollector for the defaults.

Apply the rule yourself

Addofy only applies rules to its own six types. For your type, hide your items yourself:

if ( adba( 'rules' )->is_hidden( 'myplugin_panel', 'stats' ) ) {
	return; // Do not render the panel for this role.
}

Visibility\RuleEngine::is_hidden() is the public method behind adba( 'rules' ).

Items that can never be hidden

adba_protected_items adds items that can never be hidden. Addofy's own menu is always protected, and so are its settings tabs and templates: no hook can hide them.
