WP_Rewrite::add_permastruct() public WP 2.5.0

Adds a new permalink structure.

A permalink structure (permastruct) is an abstract definition of a set of rewrite rules; it is an easy way of expressing a set of regular expressions that rewrite to a set of query strings. The new permastruct is added to the WP_Rewrite::$extra_permastructs array.

When the rewrite rules are built by WP_Rewrite::rewrite_rules(), all of these extra permastructs are passed to WP_Rewrite::generate_rewrite_rules() which transforms them into the regular expressions that many love to hate.

The $args parameter gives you control over how WP_Rewrite::generate_rewrite_rules() works on the new permastruct.

{} It's a method of the class: WP_Rewrite{}

No Hooks.

Return

Null. Nothing.

Usage

global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct( $name, $struct, $args );
