     // If there are parent categories, collect them and replace them in the link
       $parentcats = get_category_parents( $parent, false, '/', true );
       // str_replace() is not the best solution if you can have duplicates:
       // myexamplesite.com/luxemburg/luxemburg/ will be stripped down to myexamplesite.com/
       // But if you don't expect that, it should work

WordPress Administration menu example

2012-02-03T18:28:00.000+05:30

Here is a very simple example of the three steps just described. This plugin will add a sub-level menu item under the Settings top-level menu, and when selected, that menu item will cause a very basic screen to display

In this example, the function, my_plugin_menu(), adds a new item to the Administration menu via the add_options_page function.
<?php
add_action('admin_menu', 'my_plugin_menu');

function my_plugin_menu() {
add_options_page('My Plugin Options', 'My Plugin', 'manage_options', 'my-unique-identifier', 'my_plugin_options');
}

function my_plugin_options() {
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
wp_die( __('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.') );
}
echo '<div class="wrap">';
echo '<p>Here is where the form would go if I actually had options.</p>';
echo '</div>';
}
?>

Media
<?php add_media_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function); ?>

Links
<?php add_links_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function); ?>

Pages
<?php add_pages_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function); ?>

Comments
<?php add_comments_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function); ?>

Appearance
<?php add_theme_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function); ?>

Plugins
