Select and Handle

Select and Handle is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily select Pages, Posts, or Custom Post Types from tables in the WordPress admin area. Selected items are stored in a list, where you can review them before passing their IDs to a custom PHP file for further processing. The plugin then displays any output or results from the custom PHP file right in the WordPress backend.

Features

• Easy Selection: Quickly select Pages, Posts, or Custom Post Types.
• Saved Selections: View and manage your selected items in a list within the WP admin area.
• Custom Handling: Press the "Handle" button to pass the selected item IDs to a custom PHP script of your choosing.
• Result Display: The output of that custom script (such as success messages, processed data, etc.) is displayed in the plugin’s admin page.

Installation

1. Download the plugin zip file or clone this repository.
2. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
3. Navigate to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
4. Choose the zip file you just downloaded and click Install Now.
5. Once installed, click Activate.

Usage

1. From your WordPress admin, navigate to Select and Handle in the sidebar.
2. You will see three tabs (by default) for Pages, Posts, and any Custom Post Types you might have.
3. In each tab, select the items you want to handle by checking the boxes next to them.
4. Click Add to selection. You can then switch to the Selection tab to view all items you’ve chosen.
5. When ready, press the Handle button to send the IDs of the selected items to your custom PHP file.
6. The output or results from that PHP file will be shown in the plugin’s page under a Results area or similar section.

Configuration

• You may need to specify the path or URL of your custom PHP file if it is not placed in the default directory. Instructions can be found in the plugin’s settings, or consult your developer for details.
• handle.php is packed with code you probably don't need. These are WordPress standards and compatibility and security measures. It will probably also work just fine if you replace it with just this:

<?php  
$ids = $_GET['ids'];  
echo $ids ;  
?>
