It's not guaranteed that people will find this question when they are looking for the other one. And maybe there are other good ways to handle plugin actions besides this one? | |

@wyrfel: OK, the fact that admin.php gets included in many (but not all) admin pages put me on the wrong track. This hook only works when you call admin.php directly. I have updated this answer, and now I know enough to answer your related question!

admin.php must be called directly for this to work

@Jan Fabry: The noheader qv is a good hint, too. Thanks for digging that up.

@wyrfel: I know, I just finished a major edit of my answer. It now includes how Akismet does it. The trick is to not use your plugin page as the form action handler. When you are on a plugin page, admin.php even calls exit before this action is reached, so it is not called at all.

Major correction for plugin pages, added Akismet example.

It includes everything (admin-header.php, the pages themselves, and admin-footer.php) within that single file. And after it's done all that comes that call. So it is the last thing executed. Thanks for the pointers, though, i'll have a look. | |
