adding function arguments to add_action

  • How do I send a argument(s) to my function when calling it from add_action? I have tried many, many ways and can not get it to work.

    add_action('admin_menu', 'mt_add_pages');

function mt_add_pages($name) {

    add_menu_page($name, $name, 0, __FILE__, 'mt_toplevel_page');

}

function mt_toplevel_page() {
    echo "<h2>Edit Listing</h2>";
}

  • function myfunky_function() {
	echo "hello";
}
    function user_menu () {
	add_users_page('menu', 'menu', 1, basename(__FILE__), 'myfunky_function');
}

    add_action('admin_menu', 'user_menu');

    works for me.

    Okay, I think you may have missed what I am getting at. From your example, I would be trying to pass a variable to myfunky_function when I called it. So that it is something like this:

    function myfunky_function($text) {
	echo $text;
}

function user_menu () {
	add_users_page('menu', 'menu', 1, basename(__FILE__), 'myfunky_function($text-to-pass)');
}

add_action('admin_menu', 'user_menu');

    Basically I am trying to make myfunky_function($text-to-pass) work.

    Does that make sense? Any suggestions?

    I might still be misunderstanding, but if you are trying to pass a variable to your function, you need to make it a global.

    any update on this? can no one answer this supposedly easy thing if it were straight php?

    wordpress is making it hard .

    can I use

    add_action('action_here', 'function_name($variable)');

    to work?
