Regarding menu position for top-level menus... they DO replace the existing menu but you can get around it using decimals: http://gabrielharper.com/blog/2012/08/wordpress-admin-menu-positioning-conflicts/ Maybe not the prettiest solution but it has saved me a ton of headaches!

Thanks for the “customizing the name of the first sub-menu” tip!!! It’s really helpful when you use jquery-based tabs.

That last argument is a function.

i used this code

add_action(“admin_menu”, “createMyMenus”);

function createMyMenus() {
add_menu_page(“My Menu”, “My plugin”, 0, “my-menu-slug”, “myMenuPageFunction”);

add_submenu_page( ‘edit.php?post_type=theme’, __(‘Theme Page Options’), __(‘Theme Menu Options’), ‘edit_themes’, ‘theme_options’, theme_options);

add_submenu_page(“my-menu-slug”, “My Submenu”, “Add Customer”, 0, “hello-world”, “mySubmenuPageFunction”);
add_submenu_page(“my-menu-slug”, “My Submenu”, “View Customer”, 0, “view_user_detail”, “veiw_user_detail.php”);

it shows sub menu but doesnt open the page of submneu of view user detail.php

Yeah, I use the admin_menu action hook.

add_action('admin_menu', 'my_admin_menus');

There is more example code in the WordPress Codex

I was wondering if you used the add_action(”) function to initialize these options on a theme.

In reply to Enjak. It would depend on whether you are adding the menu pages from a plugin or from a theme. If you just want to add it into your existing theme, then it would be the functions.php file.
