During development of the next version of Ext JS based Wordpress Theme I have realized I need Ext JS on the admin side of Wordpress. I am not going to tell you the whole story about it, but I have prepared a little gadget instead.

I am presenting Ext JS Admin Menu.

This is very simple plugin that alter wordpress’ awfull admin menu into the nice, drop-down Ext JS one. The best part is that it took about half of hour to make it happen. And this is really a good reason to check the power of Ext JS library.

The plugin includes a part of Ext JS 2.0 RC1 library and can be downloaded from downloads page.

I am aware that some people are waiting for the next (better) version of the theme, but it really requires a lot of time; it is one man hobby project, thus please be patient. Also, please do not expect finished versions here. I am just playing with Ext JS library.

Note: This is discontinued as Wordpress Admin interface has been redesigned twice since the release of this gadget. You can download it, however, from here: Ext JS Admin Menu v. 0.1 (71 kB).

I had two minor issues with the two plugins both were inside widget_search.php
first I received an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\extjswp\widget_search.php on line 43
I removed the } from the end.

but this created a new error at times like logout
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\extjswp\widget_search.php:1) in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-login.php on line 260

by removing widget_search.php it resolved it.
