## Installation

**Quick Install**
1. **Download ZIP:** [**multisite-toolbar-additions.zip**](https://github.com/deckerweb/multisite-toolbar-additions/releases/latest/download/multisite-toolbar-additions.zip)
2. Upload via WordPress (Network) Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin --> in _Multisite_ you can _activate network wide_!
3. Look at your toolbar / admin bar within the "My Sites" menu and enjoy using the new links there :)
4. If you want you could add a special custom Nav Menu via "Design > Menus" (best if using the main site of your Network for that) and assign it to the new "Multisite Toolbar Menu" menu location (only visible & accessible for (Super) Admins!).
5. Go and manage your Multisite Network or just your Single Site :)

**Note:** This plugin has NO settings page because I believe it's just not necessary. All customizing could be done via filters, constants and regular WordPress user roles & capabilities. As the plugin is only indended for a Administrator and Super Admin (Network Admin) usage - that's the way to go. This way we can save the overhaul of an options panel/settings page, additional database requests, uninstall routines and such. End result: a lightweight system that just works and saves clicks & time :-).

**Multisite install:** Of course, it's fully compatible

**Single Site install:** The plugin WILL also working like a charm for regular non-Multisite installs - just without the network specific stuff. However, there's still A LOT (single) site specific stuff supported. So it's up to your use case :). -- I for myself use this plugin on each and every install because it SAVES ME A LOT OF CLICKS & TIME! ...and that was the very reason I've developed it, yeah :-)

---

## Updates

1) Alternative 1: Just download a new [ZIP file](https://github.com/deckerweb/multisite-toolbar-additions/releases/latest/download/multisite-toolbar-additions.zip) (see above), upload and override existing version. Done.

2) Alternative 2: Use the (free) [**_Git Updater_ plugin**](https://git-updater.com/) and get updates automatically.

3) Alternative 3: Upcoming! – In future I will built-in our own deckerweb updater. This is currently being worked on for my plugins. Stay tuned!

## Description

_Whoa, this plugin is **in its 13th year already**, would have never dreamed of this when I started dreaming of, developing and working with it in 2012. Thank you all!_ 👏

> #### Quick Access to Super Admin Resources - Time Saver!
> This **small and lightweight** plugin just adds some missed and **very useful admin links** to your Toolbar / Admin Bar in Multisite installs, and even regular single site installs.
>
> Also included is support for a few third-party plugins out of the box. So you might just switch from the backend or frontend of your site to the 'Network Wide Plugins' or access the 'Nav Menu' Settings of a sub site/blog. To make you even more happy, the plugin also works just perfectly in single WordPress installs (non-Multisite context), just fewer menu items then... ---> **Use this time saver and get quicker access :-)**

*NOTE:* This plugin is **only intended towards Super Admins / Admins**.

### General Features & Benefits -- Global Usage

### (Sub) Site Specific Features & Benefits

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why another Multisite Toolbar plugin, there are already some others!? 
You're right! If you're happy with one of the others then that's absolutely great and you don't need to add or switch anything! :)

I just made this new plugin here for my own needs and some of my client admins. As I am an open source evangelist I like to release my stuff to the public to give back to the community!

Plugin developer David Decker: *What has proved its day to day usage and usefulness on more than 100 installs (Multisites and regular single site installs) before, could be used by many other (super) admins as well, right? :-)))*

### How do I use the custom Nav Menu for Super Admins for the toolbar? 
All menu items via a Custom Menu - and at all other places in the Toolbar (a.k.a. Admin Bar) - are only visible and accessable for Super Admins. That means in a Multisite environment all admins who can manage the network. In regular WordPress (single) installs these are users with the Administrator user role.

Added Menu Location by the plugin is: "Multisite Toolbar Menu" (again: only for Super Admins)

Steps for setting up a menu:

* Create a new menu, set a name like "Super Admin Toolbar" or such...
* Setup your links, might mostly be custom links, or any other...
* Save the new menu to the plugin's menu location. That's it :)
* *Please note:* Every parent item = one main toolbar entry! So best would be to only use one parent item and set all other items as children.

### How can I adjust the position of my custom Nav Menu? 
Since version 1.4.0 of the plugin there's a filter for that. See this example that needs to be added to your theme's/ child theme's `functions.php` file or a functionality plugin. Try values between `1` and `100`:
```
add_filter( 'mstba_filter_super_admin_nav_menu_priority', 'mstba_custom_position_super_admin_nav_menu' );
/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Adjust Super Admin Nav Menu Position
 */
function mstba_custom_position_super_admin_nav_menu() {
	return 20;
}
```

### How can I adjust the position of Network admin "+ New" section? 
This could be easily done with the following example code that needs to be added to your theme's/ child theme's `functions.php` file or a functionality plugin. Try values between `1` and `100`:
```
add_filter( 'mstba_filter_network_admin_new_content_priority', 'mstba_custom_position_network_admin_new_content' );
/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Adjust Network Admin "+ New" Position
 */
function mstba_custom_position_network_admin_new_content() {
	return 80;
}
```

### Can I remove the "+ New" (new content) section in Network admin? 
Yes, it's possible! This line of code needs to be added to your theme's/ child theme's `functions.php` file or a functionality plugin:
```
/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Remove Network Admin "+ New" section
 */
add_filter( 'mstba_filter_display_network_new_content', '__return_false' );
```

### Is this plugin Multisite compatible? 
Of course it is! :) Works really fine in Multisite invironment - for Super Admins.

### In Multisite, could I "network activate" this plugin? 
Yes, you could! Again, it's only displayed and useful for Super Admins. -- Activating on a per-site basis is also possible. Just decide what works best for you.

### Has this plugin any use for non-Multisite installs? 
Yes, of course! :) The plugin is *working like a charm* in single-site installs - just without the network specific stuff. However, there's still A LOT (single) site specific stuff supported. So it's up to your use case :).

### Could certain sections/ item groups be removed? 
Yes, this is possible! You can remove the following sections: "My Sites" menu area (all network items) / "My Sites" menu area (all sub site specific items) / "Super Admin Nav Menu" group (all items) / "Network Plugin Support" (all network plugin items) / "(Sub Site) Plugin Support" (all site plugin items) / "(Sub) Site Specific Items" - useful to disable for specific Super Admin users...

To achieve this add one, some or all of the following constants to your main theme's/child theme's `functions.php` file, functionality plugin or MU plugin:
```
/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Remove Network Admin Specific Items
 */
define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_NETWORK_ITEMS', FALSE );

/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Remove Sub Site Specific Items
 */
define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_SUBSITE_ITEMS', FALSE );

/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Disable Custom Nav Menu for Super Admins
 */
define( 'MSTBA_SUPER_ADMIN_NAV_MENU', FALSE );

/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Disable Plugin Support for Network Wide Plugins
 */
define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_NETWORK_EXTEND_GROUP', FALSE );

/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Disable Plugin Support for (Sub) Site Specific Plugins
 */
define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_SITE_EXTEND_GROUP', FALSE );

/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Disable Site Specific Items
 */
define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_SITE_GROUP', FALSE );

/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Disable Nav Menu List Edit Items
 */
define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_LIST_EDIT_MENUS', FALSE );
```

### Could the the whole toolbar entries be removed, especially for certain users? 
Yes, that's also possible! This could be useful if your site has special user roles/capabilities or other settings that are beyond the default WordPress stuff etc. For example: if you want to disable the display of any "Multisite Toolbar Additions" items for all user roles of "Editor" please use this code:

To hide only from the user with a user ID of "2":
```
/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Remove Network Admin specific Items for user ID 2
 */
if ( 2 === get_current_user_id() ) {
	define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_NETWORK_ITEMS', FALSE );
}
```

To hide items only in frontend use this code:
```
/**
 * Multisite Toolbar Additions:
 *    Remove Network Admin specific Items from frontend
 */
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
	define( 'MSTBA_DISPLAY_NETWORK_ITEMS', FALSE );
}
```

**Final note:** I DON'T recommend to add customization code snippets to your main theme's/ child theme's `functions.php` file! **Please use a functionality plugin or an MU-plugin instead!** This way you can also use this better for Multisite environments. In general you are then more independent from theme/ child theme changes etc. If you don't know how to create such a plugin yourself just use one of my recommended 'Code Snippets' plugins:

* _Code Snippets_ (free, .org plugin repo) / also _Code Snippets Pro_ (premium)
* _FluentSnipperts_ (free, .org plugin repo)
* _Advanced Scripts_ (premium)
* _Scripts Organizer_ (premium)
* _WPCodeBox_ (premium)
* _WPCode Lite_ (free, .org plugin repo) / also _WPCode Pro_ (premium)

All the custom & branding stuff code above can also be found as a Gist on Github: https://gist.github.com/deckerweb/3498510 (you can also add your questions/ feedback there :)

## Roadmap

The plan is to **further cleanup** the plugin if possible, and to bring it to **super stable state** where only maintenance updates are needed. Until the end of 2025 my goal is to transform all old code into a class-based approach if possible; at least reorganize everything and **make it easier to maintain** or to add new plugin support (in a very limited range, of course).

The end goal for you as a user is to have an even better coded, super stable little helper plugin which requires (if ever) only a few small updates a year. That is the dream for my own job with all the sites I manage where _Multisite Toolbar Additions_ is installed everywhere.

**Thank you very much in advance for your support!**

## Additional Info

**Idea Behind / Philosophy:** Just a little lightweight plugin for all the (Multisite) Super Admins out there to make their daily (Network) Admin life a bit easier. I'll try to add more plugin support if it makes some sense. So stay tuned :).
