WP Admin Notices

An easy and convenient way to create WordPress admin notices that can be closed persistently. Besides that it has some cool features:

• Keep your notices hidden only for users who closed it.
• Display your notice on specific situations, like when some plugin gets updated or activated or on specific admin screen ids or on $_GET / $_POST requests,
• Create your own special cases where/when your notice should be displayed

Simple Usage

add_action( 'admin_notices', function () {
	$notices_manager = \ThanksToIT\WPAN\get_notices_manager();
	$notices_manager->create_notice( array(
		'id'         => 'my-notice',
		'content'    => '<p>My Notice</p>',		
	) );
} );

Note: By default, this library will make notices persist, meaning they will not be displayed again after user close them, unless they expire

Initialization

In order to make it work perfectly, you need to initialize it like this:

add_action( 'wp_ajax_' . 'wpanttwp_dismiss_persist', array( 'ThanksToIT\WPAN\Notices_Manager', 'ajax_dismiss' ) );
add_action( 'activated_plugin', array( 'ThanksToIT\WPAN\Notices_Manager', 'set_activated_plugin' ) );
add_action( 'upgrader_process_complete', array( 'ThanksToIT\WPAN\Notices_Manager', 'set_upgrader_process' ), 10, 2 );

And it's important to make these calls before any other hook on your plugin/theme. But don't worry, this library will be loaded only when it's necessary, as it's being called inside the proper hooks
