WordPress Options – Addon Installer

Easily distribute premium upgrades/addons for your own WordPress products with this addon for the WordPress Options plugin!

Just place the contents of the addon under synved-wp-options/addons so that it will look like synved-wp-options/addons/option-type-addon. This will allow you to specify options of type addon like in the following snippet of code:

$test_options = array(
	'premium_addon' => array(
		'type' => 'addon',
		'target' => MY_TEST_PREMIUM_ADDON_PATH,
		'folder' => 'premium-addon',
		'style' => 'important',
		'label' => __('Premium Addon', 'my-test'),
		'tip' => __('Click to install the Premium Addon.', 'my-test')
	)
);

synved_option_register('my_test', $test_options);

If this looks confusing be sure you first check out the introductory tutorial and also check out the main WordPress Options page for more information as well as new tutorials when they come out.

With the snippet of code above the user will be presented with something like this:
