Now that you’ve seen all the arguments that can be utilized in the Admin Options setup, let’s take a look at a few examples.

Simple Admin Options Framework

//Make sure the framework is loaded on the site
if ( class_exists( 'WPSF' ) ){
  //Set unique ID
  $prefix = 'admin_options';
  //Create Options
  WPSF::createOptions( $prefix, array(
    'menu_title' => 'Admin Options',
    'menu_slug' => 'admin-options',
  ) );
  // Create a Section
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'title' => 'Tab Title One',
    'fields' => array(
      //text field
      array(
        'id' => 'example-text',
        'type' => text',
        'title' => 'Simple Text Field',
      ),
    )
  ) );
}

Before we look at a few additional examples of creating an Admin Options setup of the WordPress Framework Studio code, let’s recap two ways you can extract the values out of the database for usage in your theme and/or code.

Admin Options with Tabs

if ( class_exists( 'WPSF' ) ){
  $prefix = 'admin_options_tabs';
  WPSF::createOptions( $prefix, array(
    'menu_title' => 'Admin Options with Tabs',
    'menu_slug' => 'admin-options-tabs',
  ));
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'id' => 'primary_tab',
    'title' => 'Primary Tab',
  ));
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'parent' => 'primary_tab',
    'title' => 'Sub Tab One',
    'fields' => array(
      array(
        'id' => 'example-text',
        'type' => 'text',
        'title' => 'Simple Text Field',
      ),
    )
  ));
WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
  'parent' => 'primary_tab',
  'title' => 'Sub Tab Two',
  'fields' => array(
    array(
      'id' => 'example-textarea',
      'type' => 'textarea',
      'title' => 'Simple Textarea',
    ),
   )
 ));
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'id' => 'secondary_tab',
    'title' => 'Secondary Tab',
  ));
  WPSF::createSection($prefix, array(
    'parent' => 'secondary_tab',
    'title' => 'Sub Tab One',
    'fields' => array(
      array(
        'id' => 'example-switcher',
        'type' => 'switcher',
        'title' => 'Simple Switcher',
      ),
    )
  ));
}

Admin Options with Submenus

if ( class_exists( 'WPSF' ) ){
  $prefix = 'admin_options_submenus';
  /*
   * menu_parent argument examples.
   *
   * For Dashboard: 'index.php'
   * For Posts: 'edit.php'
   * For Media: 'upload.php'
   * For Pages: 'edit.php?post_type=page'
   * For Comments: 'edit-comments.php'
   * For Custom Post Types: 'edit?post_type=post_type_slug'
   * For Appearance: 'themes.php'
   * For Plugins: 'plugins.php'
   * For Users: 'users.php'
   * For Tools: 'tools.php'
   * For Settings: 'options-general.php'
  */
  WPSF::createOptions( $prefix, array(
    'menu_title' => 'Admin Options',
    'menu_slug' => 'admin-options',
    'menu_type' => 'submenu',
    'menu_parent' => 'themes.php',
  ));
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'title' => 'Tab Title One',
    'fields' => array(
      array(
        'id' => 'example-text',
        'type' => 'text',
        'title' => 'Simple Text',
      ),
    )
  ));
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'title' => 'Tab Title Two',
    'fields' => array(
      array(
        'id' => 'example-textarea',
        'type' => 'textarea',
        'title' => 'Simple Textarea',
      ),
    )
  ));
}

And finally, here is an example with the kitchen sink added to the setup…

    // others
    'output_css' => true,
    'theme' => 'dark',
    'class' => '',
    'defaults' => array(),
  ));
  WPSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
    'title' => 'Tab Title One',
    'fields' => array(
      array(
