“install_plugins” capability limitations

    Hi Pablo,
    It would be more convenient to use e.g. “edit_users” to identify admin role in Admin_Pages class instead of “install_plugins”. “install_plugins” capability does not work when using DISALLOW_FILE_MODS, which is not so uncommon on production sites. Then nobody even admin cannot set any plugin option.
    Thanks, Jan

    Hi @janrenn,

    Thanks for this suggestion too!
    Great idea. Will do that on next version

    Do you mind testing a new plugin I’ve just released?
    It’s a simple plugin that displays plugins icons. You just have to enable it.

    I hope you enjoy it ??

    wow, it’s updated in 2.2.3, thank you ??

    TxToIT is cool idea, it helps to navigate between a large number of plugins. Response from ps.w.org is fast enough, but it seems the plugins tries 4 different image URL variants what causes tons of 404s in console. There should be some more soft method to try if image exists. And result should be cached, via transients api maybe?

    Anytime ??

    Thanks. Very well noted.
    Probably you’re right. I’m going to think up on a solution for that. Transient is probably a good idea, thanks!
