Wordpress plugin, trying to pass variable from admin page to function_问答_开发者

I'm trying to add an admin panel to a WordPress plugin. It's my first attempt with working on a plugin and I don't use PHP frequently. My problem is getting values entered in the admin panel to where they need to be used in the function bp_tweet_button_activity_filter(). The values are saved and displayed fine on the admin page. I've been hacking it for a bit and may have added a little bit of superfluous code. I think the problem is in the beginning lines of that function, or maybe towards the beginning of the tweet_urls_menu_options function.

The plugin takes the link of an activity stream post and shortens it with a custom YOURLS URL shortener, so the values needed are the username, password, and URL of the API for the shortener.

Thank you for any help or advice, I'll be continuing to read up on PHP and plugin development in the meantime.

Note: plugin originally modified from BuddyPress Tweet Button by modem looper.

I just figured it out, thanks to any who looked at this.

My problem was in this part of the code, going from this:

function bp_tweet_button_activity_filter() {

    //admin username
    $username = get_option('opt_val');
    //admin password
    $password = get_option('opt_val_pass');
    //url to your custom YOURLS site API
    $api_url = get_option('opt_val_api'); //

    //get activity stream post link
    $url = bp_get_activity_thread_permalink();
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);            // No header in the result
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Return, do not echo result
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);              // This is a POST request
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(     // Data to POST
        'url'      => $url,
        'keyword'  => $keyword,
        'format'   => $format,
        'action'   => 'shorturl',
        'username' => $username,
        'password' => $password

to this:

function bp_tweet_button_activity_filter() {


    //get activity stream post link
$url = bp_get_activity_thread_permalink();
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, get_option('api_url'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);            // No header in the result
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Return, do not echo result
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);              // This is a POST request
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(     // Data to POST
    'url'      => $url,
    'keyword'  => $keyword,
    'format'   => $format,
    'action'   => 'shorturl',
    'username' => get_option('username'),
    'password' => get_option('password')
));
