Export CSV not showing up for editor

  • I’m using the latest version 1.5.4 of Participants Database and have setup a shared account for two users, so that they can view, add and edit user information in the database. I would like them to be able to download a usable list that they can print, or use in an event specific spreadsheet…
    These users only have access to this plugin, not to anything else when they login to WordPress.
    I, as administrator, can access all the functions of the plugin and the Export CSV module correctly appears at the bottom of the List Participants page. The account I have setup for the editor correctly displays the List Participants, and Edit Participants links in the left nav, and they can use all the functions of those pages, e.g. filter users. However they can’t export this information to CSV. I don’t see anywhere in the setting to enable the “Export CSV” ability.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the great plugin!

    Editors don’t have the ability to export/import CSV. I haven’t really made it possible to pick and choose which features can be accessed by editors, but you can edit the plugin file directly if you’re comfortable with PHP. You’ll find it in PDb_List_Admin.class.php

    Best you can do without editing stuff is set the plugin admin role to the role of your editors. They’ll have access to plugin settings, but also all the CSV functions.

    Thanks Xnau. I had just located line 134 of the PDb_List_Admin.class.php file as I saw it mentioned in another thread. I’m not quite sure what to edit in it. I have created a specific user role called “Volunteers editor” for this purpose, but I’m not sure what to do with this in the class file. I’m assuming this is the line that needs editing:
    if (current_user_can(Participants_Db::$plugin_options['plugin_admin_capability']))

    I seem to be having more interruptions today than normally, sorry if I’m not too prompt with my responses.

    You would change ‘plugin_admin_capability’ to ‘record_edit_capability’ and then make sure the “Record Edit Access Level” setting is set to include your special role.

    Thanks xnau I’ll try that after work this evening. (Ottawa, Canada time)
