can’t use with editor rights

It looks like it is a problem with API key , which can’t be save ??

the api key look like it is not save in the field

HI could you tell us when you will take this in charge? it is important, the writter have not admin rights

best

Hello,

The block currently only works well for admin users. The API key doesn’t work for editors because that user role does not have access to WordPress settings, and that is where the API key is stored.

If you really want this to work for editors, you could install the User Role Editor plugin and give your editors the ability to Manage options. But note that by doing that, editors would also gain access to the WordPress Settings menu in the sidebar, which could be a security issue if you don’t trust your editors.

If you decide to go ahead and use the User Role Editor plugin, please post any questions about how to use it in their forum.

Thx.

HI donna

I have try and now, with normal rights , we did’nt see the ISBN and API on the rigth side ?? could you test and see

best

so you ” bottez en touche” some other plugin have the ability to manage rights ! and for doing what you said i should paid for the pro version !!

hi and i have downloaded to test !! but i can’t give rigths for your plugins spécificalty !!!

it is possible for example to wpdicuzz, flamingo .. but not for books review block

!!!!! it is worse !! with the admin rights i can’t file ISBN and API key !! i have loose the possibility to !!!! when i clic to ISBN for example the windows closed and i arrive on image !!

NO it is back a cache problem ??

“which could be a security issue if you don’t trust your editors.” !! yes i trust my editor and for this reason they are only editor. I never give to user the admin rights since 30 ans i am working in IT !!! with editor rights they could edit , create , modify article and all item on it. books review block is the only one which can’t respect this rules and need admin rights !!!!

and you can see with rights given , with user role , an editor can’t use ISBN !!

my last answer !. it is clear two item are different. first the API key is an admin value, which is set in the admin page for books reviews block. it is unvariant, for all books, depend of the site, and need IT knowledge. The ISBN is a variable, depending books, should be set by user who create article with editor rights. You can’t go against this .

enthalpie,

I implemented this restriction based on your initial feedback in this forum thread. I cannot easily solve the issue with editors not being able to use the API key (due to it being stored in WordPress settings, which editors don’t have access to by default). And if they don’t have access to the API key, then they cannot use the automated functionality to fetch the results from Google Books API using the ISBN either.

Given the functionality doesn’t work for editors, it makes no sense to surface either the ISBN or the API Key in the block settings, so I’ve removed them. They are now only available for admins. Should I find a solution that works in the future, I will reinstate this functionality.

I must say that I don’t appreciate the multiple posts in this thread and your excessive use of exclamation marks to express your frustration. I maintain this plugin in my free time as a hobby, and would suggest that if you aren’t happy with the free level of support I provide or how the plugin works, then perhaps it’s best for you to look for an alternate solution.

Thx.

I will try to answer with my poor English

first i did’nt ask for restriction, but for the opposite, editor should use the ISBN code.

Second if you think in functionality analytic , the API KEY is a admin and UNIQUE value for all the articles and the ISBN is user value, multiple and link with article

So you can’t treated in the same way

none Gutenberg block need admin rights, only yours and if you agree to the above remark , the API KEY is not in the block , only ISBN with normal rights.

I am 77 year old, project manager on IT for more than 20 years ( I saw the first PC! ) , you don’t like my message, it is because your product is fine and I love it and I want to use it. May I said something ? I don’t like you close the post when you answer to it . In 20 years of job, I never saw that, It is the user who can close the post when he think so !!

And I never use and PC with admin rights , I work on Linux never root Why WP created users with different level of rights ? It is the first safety rule on every system

I have pasted some hours to for french translation and ?? for pleasure, to help for more user can adopt BRB ! .. I propose to paid for evolution in a private email ??? !

But it is not a money problem, it is a structure issue !!

You told me to use an extension user role editor, So I follow and bough It because i am open to all idea. but this extension does’nt do the job , i can’t give admin rights to only your block. I spend money to sky
