Issues with taxonomy permissions in WP Document Revisions

Benjamin,
Hi,
Ive hit the same issue. I’ve confgure 2 taxonomy statuses rural and metro. I’ve toggled read private documents on and toggled read private documents in metro on but I can still see the entries for the rural documents although the permissions are working correctly in that I can’t open them to view them. Ideally users would see the metadata record only for those documents that they can also view them.
This shows a couple of screenshots
I’d be keen to know how big a job and hence the opportunity to share costs this might be.

Best wishes
Jan

1) the quick solution would be to hide the media menu, but they could theoretically still access it directly by the URL. You’d have to use the map_meta_cap filter (perhaps adding another capability and simply checking the current screen) to distinguish between the two contexts. Out of the box, neither core nor the plugin make the distinction.

2) If the documents can be public, try making them public? If they cannot be public, I believe draft may solve this problem (and remove the capability). Again, you could also use map_meta_cap to add additional capability checks, specifically within the post list table, to prevent them from displaying at all.

3) To clarify, so you can see the documents on the list, the document edit screen, or (download) the document itself?

Also, there are a handful of other permissions plugins out there which may be worth trying out and experimenting with, which should work with the plugin.

Thank you Ben for your reply.

1) This is a minor problem. If they can see and upload multimedia files, it is not optimal, but they can’t publish them in site.

2) Documents can’t be public. Documents must remain private completely. They have confidential data, and can’t be download by public, only by certain users. Did you mean that?

3) I can see document in list, I can see edit screen, but when I try to download, I’m redirected to frontpage, and document can’t be found: 404 error. Maybe permalinks are not working fine, because files are uploaded to server (with a very strange name, which is good).

About other plugins, which of these do you recommend?

Members Plugin
Role Scoper Plugin
User Access Manager
Advanced Access Manager
User Role Editor

I suppose JanRiv and me are able to pay you for this. I have also sent you an email.

Looking forward your reply.

Hey Guys,

How did you go with this?

I’m having a similar problem with the plugin. I’ve installed everything and assigned a department to a particular document. But other users within that Department (role) still can’t see the documents.

I’d be happy to contribute to the $

thinksoda, I asked a budget for this and it costs more or less $1800. The current plugin is not working fine and has the errors I have explained.

By the way, this is not solved. If yes, please, let me know.

Thank you all.

This is a feature request that multiple users have asked for and I think it’s very worthwhile. I do not have time right now to build it out, but if anyone is interested, pull requests are always welcome. I’ve create an issue on GitHub to track the buildout of the feature, and will close this support forum for now.

Hopefully we can get this feature added in shortly. Your use is at the core of what Document Revisions is about, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t support it better.

In the mean, time. if there’s anything you’ve learned from your experience, please feel free to share it back.
