A simple request

    Just found your plugin and I think it will be exactly what I need for my multi-author blog, but I have a request (one that was brought up before but hasn’t been implemented that I can tell). Contributors cannot see the To Do List because they do not have manage_options in their role, but I don’t want to give them access to those options. Can you somehow allow Contributors access to see and use the To Do List?

    Thanks!

  • I work with Rory, and I implemented a patch for this. Firstly, upload and activate the plugin (you must do this first), then go to Plugin Editor and change the line

    self::$posts_to_do_list_dashboard_page_slug = add_dashboard_page( "Posts To Do List", "Posts To Do List", 'manage_options', 'posts_to_do_list', array( $this, 'posts_to_do_list_dashboard' ));

    in posts-to-do-list.php to

    self::$posts_to_do_list_dashboard_page_slug = add_dashboard_page( "Posts To Do List", "Posts To Do List", 'edit_posts', 'posts_to_do_list', array( $this, 'posts_to_do_list_dashboard' ));

    . This will allow any user that can post (i.e. Admins, Authors, Editors and Contributors) to see the dashboard page, but only admins can see the options.

    Yeah, that will make it work the way you want. I wanted to add an option to select the user roles who should be able to see the dashboard page, but I’m busy with my other plugin and can’t make it. Moreover, quite frankly, this plugin code is quite a mess, I must say.

    I just implemented your patch and sent it live for everybody, it’s nice to see people make it their own.

    Have a nice day,
    Stefano
