Add Links to Sellers Dashboard

Hello Jamie,

Nice try. You can use this filter dokan_get_dashboard_nav in dokan/includes/template-tags.php on line 345 to do so. You don’t need to include the file to your child theme. Just use add_filter in your child-theme child-theme/function.php.

write the following code in child-theme/function.php.

add_filter( 'dokan_get_dashboard_nav', 'dokan_e_add_seller_nav' );
function dokan_e_add_seller_nav( $urls ) {
    $urls['help'] => array(
        'title' => __( 'Help Files', 'dokan'),
        'icon' => '<i class="fa fa-users"></i>',
        'url' => 'http://www.help.com'
    ),
    $urls['google'] => array(
        'title' => __( 'Google', 'dokan'),
        'icon' => '<i class="fa fa-google"></i>',
        'url' => 'http://www.google.com'
    ),
}

thank you. 🙂

Thank you for helping. I wanna make sure I understand the solution.

1. I place dokan_get_dashboard_nav on line 345 in the [dokan/includes/template-tags.php] file.
**now will this be erased if the file is updated? That is why i included the [dokan/includes/template-tags.php] in my child theme. Do I add parentheses around dokan_get_dashboard_nav?

2. I placed the code below on line 68 of my child theme/functions.php
add_filter( ‘dokan_get_dashboard_nav’, ‘dokan_e_add_seller_nav’ );
function dokan_e_add_seller_nav( $urls ) {
$urls[‘help’] => array(
‘title’ => __( ‘Help Files’, ‘dokan’),
‘icon’ => ‘‘,
‘url’ => ‘http://www.help.com’
),
$urls[‘google’] => array(
‘title’ => __( ‘Google’, ‘dokan’),
‘icon’ => ‘‘,
‘url’ => ‘http://www.google.com’
),
}

I did everything listed above and I got a error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /home3/jlpride1/public_html/LOWPRICEOUTLET.COM/wp-content/themes/wedevs-dokan-child/functions.php on line 68

1. Do not change or edit dokan/includes/template-tags.php file. You dont need to include this file in your child-theme either.

2.please remove those code from child-theme/function.php and try the following

add_filter( 'dokan_get_dashboard_nav', 'dokan_e_add_seller_nav' );
function dokan_e_add_seller_nav( $urls ) {
    $urls['help'] = array(
        'title' => __( 'Help Files', 'dokan'),
        'icon' => '<i class="fa fa-users"></i>',
        'url' => 'http://www.help.com'
    );
    $urls['google'] = array(
        'title' => __( 'Google', 'dokan'),
        'icon' => '<i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i>',
        'url' => 'http://www.google.com'
    );
    return $urls;
}

Hope this will work. 🙂

Thank you it worked perfect.

I forget to ask how do you make the links open to a new window is possible.
Thanks again for all your help

Sorry that’s not possible up to this version.

Hello,
I would like to know how do you add the additional links to the dashboard since it is now a plugin? Is there a way of adding this where it will not be deleted with the next update?
Thank you.

Hi Jamie,

The same code should work perfectly.

[php]
add_filter( ‘dokan_get_dashboard_nav’, ‘dokan_e_add_seller_nav’ );
function dokan_e_add_seller_nav( $urls ) {
$urls[‘help’] = array(
‘title’ => __( ‘Help Files’, ‘dokan’),
‘icon’ => ‘<i class="fa fa-users"></i>’,
‘url’ => ‘http://www.help.com&#8217;
);
$urls[‘google’] = array(
‘title’ => __( ‘Google’, ‘dokan’),
‘icon’ => ‘<i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i>’,
‘url’ => ‘http://www.google.com&#8217;
);
return $urls;
}
[/php]

Thank you

To be safe from loosing your modifications, do no edit a theme or plugin file. Always use a child theme to customize. Here is the official documentation of WordPress about creating and using child themes http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
