    Adding a group to a parent node

    This example adds a parent node, child nodes and a group to the toolbar.

    add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'add_nodes_and_groups_to_toolbar', 999 );
    
    function add_nodes_and_groups_to_toolbar( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    
    	// add a parent item
    	$args = array(
    		'id'    => 'parent_node',
    		'title' => 'parent node'
    	);
    	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
    
    	// add a child item to our parent item
    	$args = array(
    		'id'     => 'child_node',
    		'title'  => 'child node',
    		'parent' => 'parent_node'
    	);
    	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
    
    	// add a group node with a class "first-toolbar-group"
    	$args = array(
    		'id'     => 'first_group',
    		'parent' => 'parent_node',
    		'meta'   => array( 'class' => 'first-toolbar-group' )
    	);
    	$wp_admin_bar->add_group( $args );
    
    	// add an item to our group item
    	$args = array(
    		'id'     => 'first_grouped_node',
    		'title'  => 'first group node',
    		'parent' => 'first_group'
    	);
    	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
    
    	// add another child item to our parent item (not to our first group)
    	$args = array(
    		'id'     => 'another_child_node',
    		'title'  => 'another child node',
    		'parent' => 'parent_node'
    	);
    	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
    
    }
    

    The output from this example in the toolbar will be:

     * parent node
     ** child node
     ** another child node
     ** first group node
