I am using the WP_List_Table class and I added the links for the actions like this:
function get_bulk_actions() {
$actions = array();
$actions['approv'] ='<a href="#">'.__( 'Approve' ).'</a>';
$actions['reject'] = '<a href="#">'.__( 'Reject' ).'</a>';
$actions['delete'] = '<a href="#">'.__( 'Delete' ).'</a>';
$actions['view'] = '<a href="#">'.__( 'View' ).'</a>';
return $actions;
}
Then I display them in the display_row() function like this:
$actions = $this->get_bulk_actions();
echo $this->row_actions( $actions );
Now I am wondering how to add custom actions to those links I created. Is there anyway where I can send the variables to a page? To do the DB handling of these links and repopulate the WP_List_Table that was created before i performed action.
