Modifying admin sidebar contents to show pending posts indicator
Pergunta
I've been trying to get a pending count to appear on the admin sidebar, for pending posts, like the little bubble that appears for pending comments:
Offtopic: Am I the only one that thinks this should be core behaviour? Where should I suggest this feature?
Anyhow, I found this plugin, but I noticed it didn't always worked. Sometimes the notifier appears on Pages or other item.
The code it uses to add the pending count goes something like this:
$menu[5][0] .= " <span class='update-plugins count-$pending_count'><span class='plugin-count'>" . number_format_i18n($pending_count) . '</span></span>';
So, clearly the problem is the hard-coded 5 there, but how can I update it so it always points to Posts?
I'll be glad to commit this change to the plugin if we know the answer.
Thanks!

Replace the line of code you posted with the following..
foreach( $menu as $menu_key => $menu_data ) :
if( 'edit.php' != $menu_data[2] )
continue;
$menu[$menu_key][0] .= " <span class='update-plugins count-$pending_count'><span class='plugin-count'>" . number_format_i18n($pending_count) . '</span></span>';
endforeach;
..that should avoid the need to know the specific key.. (let me know if any problems)..
Hope that helps.. :)

as a followup to t31os' answer, here's the complete code needed (combining the contents of the plugin mentioned with t31os' fix), with modifications to handle custom post types as well:
add_filter( 'add_menu_classes', 'show_pending_number');
function show_pending_number( $menu ) {
$type = "animals";
$status = "pending";
$num_posts = wp_count_posts( $type, 'readable' );
$pending_count = 0;
if ( !empty($num_posts->$status) )
$pending_count = $num_posts->$status;
// build string to match in $menu array
if ($type == 'post') {
$menu_str = 'edit.php';
} else {
$menu_str = 'edit.php?post_type=' . $type;
}
// loop through $menu items, find match, add indicator
foreach( $menu as $menu_key => $menu_data ) {
if( $menu_str != $menu_data[2] )
continue;
$menu[$menu_key][0] .= " <span class='update-plugins count-$pending_count'><span class='plugin-count'>" . number_format_i18n($pending_count) . '</span></span>';
}
return $menu;
}
place this in functions.php, no need for the plugin.
I made a slight alteration to somatic's post which allows for multiple post types:
// Add pending numbers to post types on admin menu
function show_pending_number($menu) {
$types = array("post", "page", "custom-post-type");
$status = "pending";
foreach($types as $type) {
$num_posts = wp_count_posts($type, 'readable');
$pending_count = 0;
if (!empty($num_posts->$status)) $pending_count = $num_posts->$status;
if ($type == 'post') {
$menu_str = 'edit.php';
} else {
$menu_str = 'edit.php?post_type=' . $type;
}
foreach( $menu as $menu_key => $menu_data ) {
if( $menu_str != $menu_data[2] )
continue;
$menu[$menu_key][0] .= " <span class='update-plugins count-$pending_count'><span class='plugin-count'>" . number_format_i18n($pending_count) . '</span></span>';
}
}
return $menu;
}
add_filter('add_menu_classes', 'show_pending_number');
