Users to modify each other’s posts

    I understand that 1.5 lets user levels to modify only posts made by lower level users, but the application we’re using WordPress for calls for a more collaborative approach — i.e. John can edit Jane’s, and Jane can edit John’s.

    I know we can achieve this by sharing accounts or with everyone having two accounts, but we want to avoid that. Can the code easily be hacked to do this? Is it just a matter of changing some less-thans to less-than-or-equals?

    Thanks!

    Thank you! Actually, the correct edit is one line above the one suggested in the link you gave.

    In functions-post.php, line 353 reads
    || ($author_data->user_level > $post_author_data->user_level)

    “or if this author’s level is greater than the original author’s level…”

    So just change the > to >= and that does it.
