Here is how to use it since it is now included:

PHP:

wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-dialog');
wp_enqueue_style("wp-jquery-ui-dialog");


JS:

var dlg = $("<div id='myFancyDialog' />")
.text('content')
.appendTo("body");

dlg.dialog({
'dialogClass' : 'wp-dialog',
'modal' : true,
'autoOpen' : false,
'closeOnEscape' : true,
'buttons' : [
{
'text' : 'Close',
'class' : 'button-primary',
'click' : function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
]
}).dialog('open');

It’s one ugly monster, I hope WP peeps improve the look of it. X-closing thing looks like from outer-space, borders are outstandingly horrible too.

Ah found the official answer: Don’t do it, instead if you must set rewrite = false and write your own rewrite.

https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/15082

Now I must discover how to do this custom rewrite.

If I set hierarchical to false and slug to / it kinda works, but it page links doesn’t work anymore.

Must test more.

I tried to circumvent this by doing like this:


class NonEmptyString {
public function __toString() {
return '';
}
}

...

'slug' => new NonEmptyString()

It gives 404 and seems to fail just like the '/'. Hmm, what is this 404 I keep getting then.

Evidently this empty slug cannot work, if one looks at the source code Line 991 in wp-includes/post.php (3.2.1):

991 if ( empty( $args->rewrite['slug'] ) )
992 $args->rewrite['slug'] = $post_type;

Now same part of code in 3.0 was like this:

https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/tags/3.0/wp-includes/post.php#L865

865 if ( !isset($args->rewrite['slug']) )
866 $args->rewrite['slug'] = $post_type;

Why was it changed to empty? Now one cannot use ” anymore. Argh!

I get 404 if I put '/' to the slug in 3.2.1, how to do this now then?

That was before I had found out the amazing API functions: wp_register_script, wp_enqueue_script, wp_localize_script

If you ever consider something I did at first, then you are doing it wrong, check those functions first.

In fact the actual code I ended up using is this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?=home_url()?>/<?=substr(locate_template(array('js/3col-shelf.js')), strlen(ABSPATH));?>"></script>

Still looking for native way to do this!
