Ever want to introduce custom dynamic functionality to your WordPress admin pages and otherwise harness the power of JavaScript? Any modification you may want to do with JavaScript can be facilitated via this plugin.
Using this plugin you’ll easily be able to define additional JavaScript (inline and/or by URL) to be added to all administration pages. You can define JavaScript to appear inline in the admin head, admin footer (recommended), or in the admin footer within a jQuery <code>jQuery(document).ready(function($)) {}</code> section, or reference JavaScript files to be linked in the page header. The referenced JavaScript files will appear in the admin head first, listed in the order defined in the plugin’s settings. Then any inline admin head JavaScript is added to the admin head. All values can be filtered for advanced customization (see Filters section).

<h3>Hooks</h3>
The plugin exposes four filters for hooking. Typically, code making use of filters should ideally be put into a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin (which is beyond the scope of this readme to explain). Bear in mind that most of the features controlled by these filters are configurable via the plugin’s settings page. These filters are likely only of interest to advanced users able to code.
c2c_add_admin_js_files (filter)
The ‘c2c_add_admin_js_files’ filter allows programmatic modification of the list of JavaScript files to enqueue in the admin.
Arguments:
<ul>
<li>$files (array): Array of JavaScript files.</li>
</ul>
Example:
<pre><code>/**
 * Adds a JavaScript file to be enqueued in the WP admin.
 *
 * @param array $files Array of files.
 * @return array
 */
function my_admin_js_files( $files ) {
 $files[] = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.8.1/build/yuiloader/yuiloader-min.js';
 return $files;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_add_admin_js_files', 'my_admin_js_files' );
</code></pre>
c2c_add_admin_js_head (filter)
The ‘c2c_add_admin_js_head’ filter allows customization of the JavaScript that should be added directly to the admin page head.
Arguments:
<ul>
<li>$js (string): JavaScript code (without <code><script></code> tags).</li>
</ul>
Example:
<pre><code>/**

The Zeus WordPress Admin plugin is a pragmatic solution to improve upon the slow changing WordPress dashboard. The idea is 
to bundle multiple features that bring the WordPress admin to a more modern level.
The plugin extends WordPress by installing the following features:
<ul>
<li>
Improved admin CSS – Simple and minimal CSS markup to improve read-ability and overall backend experience. Slightly wider 
admin menu and modifications to colors and spacing go a long way. Instead of creating an “admin theme” where WordPress becomes 
un-recognizable, I simply took the same approach WordPress had, and improved upon it.
</li>
<li>
Hide Front-End Toolbar – Implemented the ability to move the front-end toolbar off the page. This is especially 
important for site that use fixed position navigation menus. Simply click and arrow on the toolbar and watch is slide away. Adds 
and arrow to your toolbar, when clicked the toolbar will slide away and body will be restored to original position.
</li>
<li>
Global Admin Search – Search through your entire WordPress back-end and view real-time results. Makes jumping to a certain 
post/page/product/custom post type extremely easy. Click the icon in the top bar or type ‘/’ to start a search.
</li>
<li>
Menu Editor – Nothing is more annoying than a cluttered menu because every plugin is fighting for space. Use 
the menu editor to move top-level menu items anywhere you want. Now supports adding and removing spacers! Simply click, drag, and drop directly in the admin menu.
</li>
<li>
Hide Menu Items – We’ve given you the ability to streamline the admin interface further with hiding certain items. Many 
times additional plugins will add items to your menu that you’ll never use. Chuck them away and de-clutter!
</li>
</ul>
