I'm trying my hands on making a plugin, and I have encountered a problem already...
I added a side menu on the "Pages" tab, but when I click it, all I get is the output of the function but all the side menu's are gone(i.e.: "View all pages","Create new page" and "Activities")
Here's the full code:

Code:
<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Activities

Description: Display activities

Version:

Author: J-Gamer

Author URI:

*/

# get correct id for plugin

$thisfile=basename(__FILE__, ".php");

register_plugin(

    $thisfile,    // ID of plugin, should be filename minus php

    'Activities',    // Title of plugin

    '',    // Version of plugin

    'Jeroen De Busser',    // Author of plugin

    '',    // Author URL

    '',    // Plugin Description

    '',    // Page type of plugin

    'activities_show'    // Function that displays content

);

add_action('pages-sidebar', 'createSideMenu', array($thisfile, 'Activities'));

# functions

function activities_show() {

    echo '<p>Activities will be edited here</p>';

}

?>

Add 'pages' as 7th parameter of register_plugin:

Code:
register_plugin(

    $thisfile,    // ID of plugin, should be filename minus php

    'Activities',    // Title of plugin

    '',    // Version of plugin

    'Jeroen De Busser',    // Author of plugin

    '',    // Author URL

    '',    // Plugin Description

    'pages',    // Page type of plugin <== which tab to show when plugin is displayed

    'activities_show'    // Function that displays content

);

Thanks! That fixed it. It's a shame that the functions necessary for plugin development aren't fully documented...

Feel free to add more information to the wiki!
Any forum user can also enhance the wiki.

Other question: do you set this option to other things like
Files
Theme
Backups
Plugins

If you want it to work on the other tabs?

EDIT: it does :p(you only need to change the sidebar creation as well)

EDIT2: and what if you want a single plugin to have side menu links on multiple pages? You can only specify one page in register_plugin AFAIK...
