Feature Suggestion: Remove admin notice and replace with…

Hi, thank you for your assistance earlier. It was indeed a cache issue my end.

During the above issue I obviously looked through the code to see what may have been the cause. During this I decided to make a minor alteration to the “Maintenance” message shown to the admin as a reminder that the plugin was active.

I changed the following section of code:

/**
 * Alert message when active
*/
function slim_maintenance_mode_admin_notices() {
	echo '<div id="message" class="error fade"><p>' . __( '<strong>Maintenance mode</strong> is <strong>active</strong>!', 'slim-maintenance-mode' ) . ' <a href="plugins.php?s=Slim Maintenance Mode&plugin_status=all">' . __( 'Deactivate it, when work is done.', 'slim-maintenance-mode' ) . '</a></p></div>';
}
if ( is_multisite() && is_plugin_active_for_network( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) )
add_action( 'network_admin_notices', 'slim_maintenance_mode_admin_notices' );
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'slim_maintenance_mode_admin_notices' );
add_filter( 'login_message',
	function() {
		return '<div id="login_error">' . __( '<strong>Maintenance mode</strong> is <strong>active</strong>!', 'slim-maintenance-mode' ) . '</div>';
	} );

And replaced it with this:

/**
 * Display maintenance mode enabled message in the admin bar when active
 */
function slim_maintenance_mode_display_admin_bar() {
    global $wp_admin_bar;
    
    // Get the URL to toggle plugins
    $toggle_url = admin_url( 'plugins.php?s=Slim+Maintenance+Mode&plugin_status=all' );
    
    // Add the message and link to the admin bar
    $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
        'id'    => 'slim-maintenance-mode-enabled',
        'title' => '<a href="' . esc_url( $toggle_url ) . '"><span style="background-color: red; color: white; padding: 4px 8px; border-radius: 4px; cursor: pointer;">Maintenance Mode: Enabled</span></a>',
        'meta'  => array( 'class' => 'slim-maintenance-mode-enabled' ),
    ));
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'slim_maintenance_mode_display_admin_bar', 999 );

The functionality is exactly the same, you click on the above and it opens the Installed Plugins list showing only your plugin so that the user can then deactivate it.

I originally used ajax to toggle the status with a click turning it green and stating “Maintenance Mode: Disabled”. However, as I started adding more functionality I realised that it detracted from the original intention of the plugin to be light weight and simple so I reverted back to the above change only.

Hope you like it? Think of it as a thank you for your help earlier.

Thank you again for a quick, to the point plugin that is not swamped with features and upsells as seems to be the case these days.
