Customize capability

  • Do you plan to add possibility of capability customization? I would like to have it custom so i can apply it to different roles despite any other capabilities. Probably it can be just text box in admin panel where you can write custom values. For now i just hardcode new values on my site. Thank you for your effort!

    In wordpress we have roles and capabilities, right? For now every role which have edit_pages capability can view history – this is line 70 of your plugin index.php code. Also every role which have manage_options capability can view plugin config – this is line 73.
    Now for viewing history i hardcode:
    $this->view_history_capability = "view_history";
    instead of
    $this->view_history_capability = "edit_pages";
    and add view_history capability to roles which i prefer.

    My question is:
    Are you planning to add this sort of customization possibility from plugin control panel?

    I hope now is all clear. ??

    ah, yes, perhaps via an filter? would that work, so then in your functions.php you could set the capability yourself.

    I think it could be stored as an option in database just like rss_secret and other stuff. Then in admin panel you can add text-box, so the user can input his own capability name. What do you think?

    I think I will add it as a filter, because most people won’t change that value, and I want to keep the options screen clean.
