Extend Functionality of Ultimate GDPR & CCPA for Plugin

You may extend functionality of Ultimate GDPR & CCPA by implementing services features for your plugin:

  1. Extend php class CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Service_Abstract or implement the CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Service_Interface interface

    Example:

    class CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Service_Contact_Form_7 extends
CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Service_Abstract {
}

  2. Implement required methods (some actions can be left empty)

  3. Add an object of your service to the array of services to be registered in Ultimate GDPR & CCPA:

    apply_filters( 'ct_ultimate_gdpr_load_services', array(), $options, $this->services );

    or, if you extended CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Service_Abstract, it will autoregister when instantiated.

  4. To add options to admin, utilize WordPress Options API function ‘add_settings_field’ on ‘current_screen’ hook. This is hook automatically in abstract class by the ‘add_option_fields’ function.


Adding New Controller to the Plugin

There is also a possibility of adding new controller (and therefore new menu page) to the plugin:

  1. Either extend php class CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Controller_Abstract or implement the CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Controller_Interface intefrace

    Example:

    class CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Controller_Forgotten extends
CT_Ultimate_GDPR_Controller_Abstract {
}

  2. Implement required methods (some actions can be left empty)

  3. Add an object of your controller to the array of controllers to be registered in Ultimate GDPR & CCPA:

    apply_filters( 'ct_ultimate_gdpr_controllers', array() );

  4. To add a menu page, you can utilize ‘add_menu_page’ function if you extended the abstract class.

  5. To add options to admin, please utilize WordPress Options API function ‘add_settings_field’
