Compatibility with WebToffee’s PDF Invoices plugin

Hi @bb3cpo

Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.

I tried this on two test sites and our plugin worked smoothly with this PDF Invoices plugin.

We’d need more info to track this one down.

Thanks for your reply.

The problem on my side occurs only for users whose role is not “Administrator”, eg. it is “Shop Manager” or a custom role that I made.

When a user has a role anything other than “Administrator” then the root navigation menu of the plugin WooCommerce PDF Invoices doesn’t show.

Hi @bb3cpo. That sounds like normal behavior: many plugins only show themselves to Administrators. Maybe the developer of this plugin can provide a capability so other user roles can access it.

The Pro version of Capabilities also has workaround for situations like this.

Thanks, I contacted the developer of the other plugin for a solution.

Thanks. If they have a capability available, you can add it this way: https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/add-new-permissions/

A solution was provided by the devs of WooCommerce PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, Delivery Notes & Shipping Labels.

For anyone interested, in case you have disabled the capability manage_woocommerce but you need to let your users print invoices with the above mentioned plugin, you can do it by adding the following code to your functions.php:

add_filter('wf_pklist_alter_admin_print_role_access','wt_pklist_add_print_role');
function wt_pklist_add_print_role($role_arr)
{
$role_arr[]='shop_manager'; //add custom roles here
return $role_arr;
}

Thanks for reporting back @bb3cpo

It looks like this is the key capability: wf_pklist_alter_admin_print_role_access

If you don’t want to use code, you could also that capability to users via the UI: https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/add-new-permissions/

Hello.

Adding the capability you provided doesn’t work.

Using the code in the function works.

Thanks.

@bb3cpo @stevejburge Actually, you need to use the code snippet. wf_pklist_alter_admin_print_role_access is not a new capability, but the name of a filter that the plugin supports for specifying role names.

Paste the code snippet into the functions.php file of your active them, but change or duplicate the “$role_arr []=” line with the name of your role(s) which should have the access:

add_filter('wf_pklist_alter_admin_print_role_access','wt_pklist_add_print_role');
function wt_pklist_add_print_role($role_arr)
{
   $role_arr[] = 'shop_manager'; //add custom roles here
   $role_arr[] = 'custom_editor';
   $role_arr[] = 'another_role_name';
   return $role_arr;
}
