Ability to change location, as user, not admin

    By default, the wp-forecast addon does not show up in the dashboard unless the administrator is logged in, thus only the administrator can change the location displayed.
    How can one assign this privilege to an author, or editor?
    The site in question is in development and is not online, yet.

    Yes, this is like it is designed. If you use WordPress mu, you can enable or disable wp-forecast for every blog and control which fields can be changed.

    Would it be sufficient for you to have a capabiility to control the access to the wp-forecast settings?

    Then it would be possible to add this capability to the role you want.

    What do you think?

    Hello,
    to give you a quick solution, please try edit wp-forecast-admin.php.

    Find

    add_menu_page(‘wp-Forecast’, ‘wp-Forecast’, ‘manage_options’, basename(__FILE__), ‘wpf_admin_form’, plugins_url(‘/wpf.png’, __FILE__) );

    around line 60.

    Replace ‘manage_options’ with ‘publish_pages’

    Then Editors and Admins can change the wp-forecast settings.

    I will think about a separate wp-forecast capability for future releases.
