Adding New Rows | WordPress.org

In this plugin example, the table data is hardcoded into the PHP.

But what if I want to add table data dynamically, from the WordPress admin? What I have in mind is similar to the “Add New” link you see on Pages, Posts, and many other pages.

I’m okay with having all table data stored in the database, and would like to avoid storing any of the data in the PHP file.

What’s the best approach for this?

The plugin includes directions for this. The hard-coded “movie” data is for example/educational purposes.

The prepare_items() method is where you will query your own data and manipulate it. In that method, you will see a comment block that says “In a real-world situation, this is where you would place your query.” – that is where you would make your custom database query.

The easiest way to approach the plugin is to simple read it top to bottom, and make customizations along the way according to the comments and your needs.
